We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts.""Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated.""I like the event management part.""I use the solution to monitor servers, databases, Windows, Linux, and web services.""The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product.""I like everything about this tool. I recommend this solution to anyone looking for a standalone solution with high availability meaning that can be used depending on the customers requirements.""It provides common administration, and a Single Sign-On Platform with RBAC, which eases the cross launch between multiple tools""The tailoring of the knowledge modules has been particularly useful as I can streamline the agents to only report on critical events."

"Being open source lets us customize it for our monitoring needs, saving us money.""Nagios Fusion version 12.8 excels in user-friendly GUI design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of deployment.""It is easier for client installation, and the configurations are doable even for a newcomer in the field.""It's very easy to manage and monitor it."

Cons
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools.""The one piece that I would love to see is a general-purpose, configurable agent which would be a framework that you can deploy on anything, whether it be Java or anything else. It would allow you to easily deploy it on a platform that they support.""The product must provide more AI capabilities.""Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles.""The solution's support service could be better.""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 solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems.""Reporting would be an area for improvement in TrueSight... We have almost 800 customers today on TrueSight and just under 10,000 assets. We need to be able to give a customer some information. If the customer's product fails, they'll ask us, "Did it have a problem beforehand?" We have all those events and we know all the problems it had beforehand. We have to be able to give them access to that kind of reporting. That's an enhancement that we need."

"In future iterations of this solution, there is a desire for more seamless integration with other monitoring software.""Adding application performance monitoring to the product alongside infrastructure monitoring would make it a more complete and useful solution.""Nagios Fusion should include a 'remember me' option when logging in, so we don't need to enter a username and password every time.""There are some bugs, although not that many. There are some situations where the solution is not stable but the number of problems is not very high."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Use conservative figures. In terms of hardware, monitored servers and also effort. The product is not cheap. But as with other products, you get what you pay for."
  • "The solutions are not the cheapest but are robust and stable. License model is rather complex and BMC do often change the model."
  • "Pricing is very high."
  • "We pay license fees of between $150 and $200 per asset. There is an enterprise software license fee, and then you pay a percentage for your maintenance, and then Premier Support. For example, if you buy a two-year license for the product, then the maintenance fee is added to that for two years at X percent a year. Then there's a small fee on top of that for Premier Support..."
  • "Pricing is all volume-driven. I think we were paying between $80 and $85 per license. That's per unit, for a perpetual license. You pay it one time and then, every year, you pay 20 percent of that for annual maintenance and support. But now that we've grown, we've purchased tens of thousands of licenses and the cost per license has gone down to something like less than $30..."
  • "It is a large, complex product. So, there is a commitment of manpower to deploy it, as it is not a cheap product."
  • "There is a big upfront cost when you buy the license, then there is annual maintenance. We look at, if I bought a license and paid for maintenance for five years, then average it out, what would be my monthly cost. We have had some of the competing tools come in around four dollars. This is coming in as a premium, which is why I don't have it deployed as I would like it. Therefore, we're in negotiations right now. If I can get it down to the four dollar range, I will triple my deployment in a year and a half."
  • "The only possible additional cost that I can mention, that you might not be aware of, is that it uses Oracle partitioning, if you use Oracle. There are Oracle partitioning fees that go with that."

  • "The pricing is quite reasonable, especially when compared to the broader market."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by BMC TrueSight Operations Management users.

    Mudassir A., Sr. Technical Consultant at a tech services company, says, "The event management part of TrueSight Operations Management, in my experience, is probably the best in the market. You have endless flexibility. You can build your own rules, you have the MRL language, and you can implement any kind of logic on the alerts. It may be correlation, abstraction, or executing something as a result of the alerts. You have almost the whole range of options available for event management using the available customization."

    A General Manager - Sales at a tech services company explains, “There are many features that are most valuable in BMC TrueSight Operations Management. First, its proactive monitoring feature is highly developed. BMC TrueSight Operations Management is an intelligent tool that's able to understand day-to-day operations and consistently gives alerts. The alerts are not automatic for some activities, e.g. some alerts are given monthly, while some are given more frequently. The consolidated dashboard where you can enjoy a single pane of glass to look at the full infrastructure from the servers to the VMs, to the clouds, to the application, to the database, to the network devices, including having a topology, and having a tendency map of the topology of key offerings, is also a valuable feature of this solution.”

    An Information Systems Computer System Controller at an insurance company states, “The business event manager tool that consolidates detailed information from a single instance of equipment is the most valuable thing for me. It provides support for the business tools and the IT services which come from several systems.”
