An orchestration tool to automate the end-to-end process with a need to improve its user experience

In BMC TrueSight Orchestration, login is just text-based, so it's really hard to find the problem. We cannot see the ongoing running jobs or interfere with them on an interface. So it's unavailable. There are some restrictions about the permissions, especially the level of the permissions, even though there is not very much there. It's a little bit hard to use clients' development tools, so the user experience may be improved. There is room for improvement for the local team.

Achieve cost-effective and efficient operations with automated compliance and patch management

Regarding the patch management feature, I find it perfect in BMC TrueSight Server Automation; however, the only problem is with application software, as operating system patch management is perfect. What I am trying to have is application software running on the server segment. Sometimes they use browsers, PDF readers, and Java, so patching these application or utility software is a challenge due to the large number and the different versions. I have some concerns regarding BMC TrueSight Server Automation that could be improved, particularly in the reporting part. The pending patches report generated after the analysis only reflects the job executed, but in a distributed environment where multiple teams manage servers, central governance requires server status updates driven by servers rather than jobs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The best thing about TrueSight is the user interface, which is intuitive and easy to use. It supports accessibility and exporting, so we can output to the format we require. We can use TrueSight to integrate nearly any other product. I can't think of another product that can match this functionality. We also have Microsoft Orchestrator, but it can't match BMC TrueSight Orchestration."

"BMC TrueSight Orchestration has made things much easier for them."

"The initial setup is easy. The deployment was done in an hour."

"The best feature of BMC TrueSight Orchestration is the number of integrated mechanisms it provides."

"This solution is scalable."

"The product has a very good triggering mechanism."

"This solution is scalable."

"We can implement compliance standards with the solution. You can also do patching so that the environment is compliant and secure from external threats and hacking. We can provision multiple systems with the help of predefined templates that the organization has forwarded us. The solution’s users can also integrate multiple products which can be either BMC or non-BMC. There are numerous possibilities that can be done with server automation"

More BMC TrueSight Orchestration pros

"The solution is stable."

"With BMC, we even configured applications, like IE or things that were Java-related. When we scheduled the jobs, it worked fine. It saved us time and there was no need for resources to monitor them."

"As this solution provides strong support and has multiple use cases, it is worth the cost."

"The most important feature is the schedulings."

"Can standardize patching and deployments across affiliates."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to remediate quickly and efficiently across a number of IT assets at the same time."

"We have a fully automated patching process which has been absolutely phenomenal."

"The stability of this solution seems to be good; so far, the automation we do in the background has run on schedule, and the functionality is really good."

Cons

"The solution is not user-friendly."

"The architecture of this solution needs improvement, it is very complicated. It creates a lot of problems in our environment. Most of the time I am trying to find and solve the problem."

"The solution should move to the cloud. Every application from the BMC is on the container and moving to the cloud. There is also a number of limitations for the smart reporting feature of the TrueSight server which is not working in sync. We did not get any satisfactory reply from BMC on that note. We are not able to do the real-time sync between HSA and non-HSA service reporting tools and the actual application tools."

"BMC TrueSight Orchestration is difficult to understand. It's not very user-friendly."

"At present this solution is only available to be hosted on-premises, which can cause network issues when integration with cloud-based software is attempted."

"Regarding scalability, the architecture does not allow you to add additional servers just able to use two application servers, so it's not scalable."

"BMC TrueSight Orchestration is difficult to understand. It's not very user-friendly."

"The architecture of this solution needs improvement, it is very complicated."

More BMC TrueSight Orchestration cons

"Provisioning needs to be more user-friendly. We were using BladeLogic for provisioning, but due to a lot of issues and complications, we had to stop using provisioning with this tool."

"The architecture is big, so the initial setup is not a straightforward task."

"I would like to see more container integration in the next release of this solution."

"Needs more use cases into compliance management and the remediation process."

"Scaling the environment during setup at larger organizations with 10,000 employees gets complicated."

"A better CLI Database cleanup tool would help us with our regular maintenance of BladeLogic Server Automation."

"The number of APIs available within the tool needs improvement. At the moment, we have a couple of different scanning tools used within the organization, but only one of those is integrated back into Server Automation. There is another tool that they use in another part of the business where it doesn't have an out-of-the-box adaptor for it. We would have to go and create or develop something bespoke to be able to integrate it with that scanning tool. Whereas, with the other scanning tool, there was an API available. To make it easier, I would like to have more APIs available for different scanning tools within that line of business."

"There is no option to see all the servers we patch and we cannot find what the server status is. Of course, we can what has been completed and what is pending and which servers have failed, but we cannot find server status from the BMC tool. For example, is the RDP up or not. We are using separate scripts for that."

More BMC TrueSight Server Automation cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding pricing, it comes with the package when you buy the server automation. But it's made depending on some agreements for companies, of which I don't know the clause."

"Licensing is available in different ways and depends on data being consumed by users and nodes being operated."

"Licensing is per lot, or per agent — one agent is one license."

"There is a huge cost saving with BMC TrueSight compared to other solutions."

"We're looking at less than $100,000 USD for this solution."

"The product's pricing depends on the number of servers."

"The product is expensive."

"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."

"Licensing is a bit pricey. Be mindful about the components that you need and buy as appropriate."
