We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and OpenText Operations Bridge based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Using the TrueSight platform we can monitor server performance and notify the customers using the integrated ticketing for events. We can let them know if there are any issues with a server, or application, or database."
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"It is a stable solution."
"The fact that they have a very integrated relationship with Sentry Software, the Knowledge Module, is valuable... The richest feature for us is the number of Knowledge Modules that we can load into the product to add breadth of service to the customer. It enables us to move up the operational stack from hardware, to operating system, to application, and to cloud... That enables us to provide one pane of glass over all those layers - hardware, OS, app, and cloud."
"From an administrative standpoint, what stands out in TrueSight is the ability to implement quickly. When they have a requirement to monitor something, we're able to turn that on quickly in their environment. We're able to set up new apps within a day."
"The initial setup of BMC TrueSight Operations Management was easy."
"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."
"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with everything."
"The integration with the ticketing tool makes sure that there is a record for every issue."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components."
"It allows us to build dashboards for individual parts of the business. Our team members appreciate that they can just get a view of their part of the world without having to worry about anyone else's."
"It has greatly reduced the number and duration of outages as support teams are notified immediately when something goes wrong or even before something breaks."
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"I would like them to improve the deep-dive details, tracing, and data agents in this product. We have EUEM, an end-user experience monitoring appliance. This one's quicker than the current one, and reporting side and filtration side are very bad. There are many details we look at and explain what we receive information in the current one, but we cannot have historical data like we do with EUEM. We cannot have a powerful point to look for specific traffic from a specific application and a specific browser. We don't have it in the new one. The current BMC also needs to add the thing that control versions."
"The pricing could be better."
"The stability of BMC TrueSight Operations Management needs improvement. My organization's infrastructure is vast and implemented based on BMC recommendations, but the solution needs to be optimized for large-capacity infrastructure."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"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."
"The graphs are extremely limited. We don't have a lot of dashboard options. To make reports and dashboards more useful, we usually need to integrate some dashboard solutions."
"The solution is overly complex."
"The deployment of agents on new CI should be improved. There should be some kind of automation to directly deploy them from the console. It can maybe have some more AI functions because most of the other tools are going in that direction."
"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"In a future release, we would like an improved upgrade process. When you upgrade it now, it first uninstalls everything and then reinstalls all the packages, which means any customization that you've done in the directories on the surface disappears."
"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."
"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"Implementation could be improved."
"I know that in the next version, X1005, they're moving to more graphical overviews, which should help our senior managers."
"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
