Ready to use, with no need for customization
We currently operate in a banking domain. It helps to take daily backups of database. The BMC TrueSight helps in following the Reserve Bank guidelines and scheduling the back up as necessary. The solution creates a back-up and re-evaluates all the necessary information, alarming us in case there is a set of missing information. In case the backup fails, it also has an error handling mechanism is present, sending real-time messages and alerts in the form of emails to responsible teams. We have minimized the L1 and L2 activities, currently allowing us to only deal with L3 activities. If there are any errors in terms of backup, the incident is directly raised to Level 3. This automation has helped us save about 5 million pounds. It is also capable of no-manual intervention, where onboarding can be done without any manual assistance. The GUI offered by this solution is currently not available in the market. Whenever the details of customers are entered in the GUI, the process is carried out smoothly in the background without any issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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"
"The product has a very good triggering mechanism."
"The initial setup is easy. The deployment was done in an hour."
"We particularly like the integration functionality of this solution. This product is open API, which means that it can be integrated with any solution from any other brand."
"The automation helps in payment transactions through BHIM app. The BMC helps in smooth clearance of all payments without using MasterCard or Visa. The solution is ready to use, and there is no need for customization or resources. We can complete integration over cloud and on-premise, and even using mainframes. The automation are secure through BMC TrueSight Orchestration."
"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."
"This solution is scalable."
"The best feature of BMC TrueSight Orchestration is the number of integrated mechanisms it provides."
"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications. The documentation was useful because it is how I learned how to use it."
"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"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."
"It would be helpful if TrueSight could log errors in a better format. I would also like to see more connector support. Let's say I have a third-party vendor that I need to integrate with Ansible. It would be helpful if BMC announced a specific connector for that. I've encountered situations where I need to work with scripts or find another way to integrate a particular product with TrueSight Orchestration. BMC already supports many products. For example, we have a connector for Ansible, but I think it needs to be improved some."
"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."
"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."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."
"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."
"Bonita must add a rule engine. We are a 360-degree partner of Bonita. We can integrate with any kind of rule engine. We have a dashboard related to engine performance, but getting a configurable dashboard for the Buildium or transactional data will add value."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
 

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."
"There is a huge cost saving with BMC TrueSight compared to other solutions."
"Licensing is per lot, or per agent — one agent is one license."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free. Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition. Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."
