We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Instana Dynamic APM based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Instana Dynamic APM is favored over BMC TrueSight Operations Management due to its real-time monitoring, user-friendly GUI, and great monitoring dashboards. Its setup is fast and easy, and pricing is reasonable. BMC TrueSight Operations Management has more features but needs improvement in application and cloud monitoring, reporting dashboards, and customer support.
"Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"I believe that the ease of use and UI is great"
"I like the deep-dive detail and end-user metrics data. The synthetic monitor is the best one. The best point of the new one is that there's no need for configuration. You can inject the Java script and start to change major developments in the application. This is a good approach, and we received all the data using this."
"We're using native monitoring capabilities for all our server hardware, for visibility for applications, for URLs, for webpage response and accuracy, and for monitoring network throughput in a lot of particular instances. We're using lightweight protocols for pinging, for DNS, for LDAP."
"The most valuable features of BMC TrueSight Operations Management are the blackouts and event management."
"Its event management capabilities are very open and flexible. I haven't seen a use case scenario with a customer that we couldn't actually solve the problem for, so it's really good. There are some interesting things that happen in an enterprise network (things that people don't normally expect), and the event management product is very flexible. You can solve problems as far as your imagination can go with it."
"The most valuable features of the solution are alert management, alert generation, and event management."
"The primary selling point of this product is its unparalleled transparency into the infrastructure."
"The overall capabilities are the most valuable."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is the ability to monitor the performance of containers for request and response analysis."
"Its GUI is really good and it easy to understand for non-technical users."
"If a key monitored value has crossed a threshold, it sends out an alert. And the solution is able to intelligently find out if something is beyond the range that it normally resides in."
"It is a stable solution."
"The detailing of our application behavior and user experience is most valuable. In case there is an issue, we typically use Instana to figure it out. We can drill down to the application and figure out what's going on and where the issue is."
"It's great for monitoring services and applications."
"It's too complex, too many servers are required, there are too many different components in the solution, and a lot of agents are required."
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"I definitely would like to see more improvement in the self-diagnostics. I need to know when anything is not working or collecting, long before our customer finds it."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"I would like to see a little more out-of-the-box event correlation and expanded AIOps type capabilities. Where you can train your artificial intelligence operations to be able to memorize an issue once you encounter one scenario, so if you encounter that same problem, you can get to the root cause very quickly."
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"The sizing (which is difficult), the maintenance of it and the upgrade paths. This is a difficult area which is not easy to cover, as every client has a different approach of implementing the product."
"We'd always like to see additional functionalities."
"They could improve the product’s dashboards and provide more dashboard options."
"Maybe log monitoring could be better."
"While it is already quite good, there is room for improvement in terms of providing better functionality"
"I think that Instana should improve the university and the certification process, so the users can find experts in Instana with their certification module process."
"The solution's monitoring is pretty weak and should be improved."
"New Relic has a better UI in terms of how it presents the data."
"The configuration of Instana Dynamic APM needs improvement because it requires quite a bit of work."
