We performed a comparison between New Relic and BMC TrueSight Operations Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.

  • Ease of Deployment: On the other hand, BMC TrueSight Operations Management's setup process can be affected by the complexity of the environment and infrastructure, and its ease of setup varies depending on the environment. Despite this, BMC TrueSight provides clear instructions and multiple installation options. New Relic can be set up with just a few commands.
  • Features: New Relic provides comprehensive insights into application information, precise alert systems, and thorough monitoring of user behavior and experience. On the other hand, BMC TrueSight Operations Management has a sophisticated proactive monitoring capability, integrated correlation logic, and Helix Innovation Studio for enterprise application development.
  • Pricing: New Relic offers a pricing model that can be seen as either expensive or reasonable, with additional fees for extra features or data ingestion. BMC TrueSight Operations Management has a high price point, but a simple and transparent licensing model based on the number of devices. Despite this, the solution is still considered affordable for companies of all sizes.

    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.”


    New Relic is a versatile tool that can be customized to fit the needs of different organizations. Its primary use cases include performance monitoring, time series analysis, infrastructure monitoring, synthetic monitoring of APIs, and providing insight into UI performance. New Relic APM is a popular application monitoring tool that provides in-depth observability of an application's performance, including database queries, website response times, and page load times. 

    The solution provides clear information and a complete picture of what is happening in the organization's system, allowing for easy monitoring of servers and providing value in code detection and resolution and user experience metrics.
