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

"This solution is scalable."

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

"This solution is scalable."

"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."

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

"I find the provisioning to be the most valuable."

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

"The product has a very good triggering mechanism."

More BMC TrueSight Orchestration pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is agile."

"Technical support is good."

"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."

"BMC support is great. They usually can answer any of our questions in a short amount of time and solve our most complex issues."

"It provides the possibility to manage any type of infrastructure object."

"It makes deployment easier and allows us to put restrictions on the server using role-based authorization."

"The ability to script and create BL packages to perform various functions makes automating our environment relatively easy to do."

"Scalability is good."

More BMC TrueSight Server Automation pros

Cons

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

"BMC TrueSight Orchestration could improve by providing some visibility on how the workflows are progressing."

"We are aiming for AI automation and look for support from BMC. The features are currently missing but we are hoping for some upgrade in this matter."

"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."

More BMC TrueSight Orchestration cons

"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."

"TrueSight falls short when we are trying to gather large amounts of data from multiple servers. We need to do these tasks manually because there is no option to populate the data and export it to Excel, which is required. For example, let's say I'm trying to find out how many patches are missing on the servers and which ones have been installed. It's hard to automatically pull each server's data in an Excel format."

"More use cases can be automated. The user interface of BMC TrueSight Server Automation could benefit from enhancements, as it currently lacks refinement."

"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."

"Resource management on the base servers is sluggish and could be improved."

"In some versions, we do have stability, especially 8.5."

"We would like to see this solution handle more multitasking."

More BMC TrueSight Server Automation cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

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

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

"The product is expensive."

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

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

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