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.

Centralized endpoint control has streamlined deployments and improved security compliance

In my experience, the best features of Microsoft Configuration Manager are software deployments and updates, OSD, hardware and software inventory, compliance and configuration baseline, reporting and monitoring, and integration with Intune hybrid management. These features make endpoint management efficient and scalable. The feature I rely on the most day-to-day is software deployment and patch management. It keeps endpoints updated and secure with minimal manual effort. Inventory and compliance monitoring are also important, but daily deployments are critical. Microsoft Configuration Manager has had a significant positive impact on our organization in several ways: improved efficiency, enhanced security and compliance, standardization, scalability, and visibility reporting. Overall, Microsoft Configuration Manager has helped us save time, reduce risk, improve operational efficiency, and maintain strong control over our endpoints. One of the biggest impacts Microsoft Configuration Manager has had on efficiency is the reduced manual work for software deployment and patching. For example, deploying a new application or security updates to hundreds or thousands of devices previously required several days of manual effort, including running scripts, checking devices individually, and validating installation. With Microsoft Configuration Manager, these tasks are automated and managed, allowing deployments to complete in hours rather than days. We also have automated reporting for deployment success and compliance which saved the IT team significant time that used to be spent gathering and reconciling inventory data from multiple tools.

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."

"This solution is scalable."

"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."

"This solution is scalable."

"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."

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

"The product has a very good triggering mechanism."

More BMC TrueSight Orchestration pros

"The solution is user-friendly and easy to learn."

"The main key feature that we find the most valuable is the patching."

"It uses detailed descriptions of the workstations, and that is good for me."

"The most valuable features are application deployment and task-sequenced imaging."

"The most valuable feature is the graphical-based reports of software updates that have been successful, the ones that have failed, and a summary of where the failures are what security breaches may occur."

"Technical support has been amazing."

"Patching is the main feature because SCCM is made to control the entire environment without manually interpreting. So it is good to use for patching."

"The solution is user-friendly and easy to learn."

Cons

"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."

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

"The solution is not user-friendly."

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

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

"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."

More BMC TrueSight Orchestration cons

"There is no asset management package included."

"With Microsoft Premier Support, you get what you pay for. There's Third Tier Support that you pay for; if you pay for that, you get excellent support, and if you don't pay for that, then you get the less experienced staff."

"The analysis is something that can be integrated. Their report analysis can be improved a little bit due to the fact that most of the time complaints policies are saved by the admins. It's something that we need to look into and search for."

"It is a bit of an old and outdated product."

"The solution could improve the functionality for automating, license management. Additionally, more and better-looking reports are needed."

"The solution can be improved by speeding up the synchronizing of the policies on the devices."

"Microsoft should extend support for additional platforms."

"There is no asset management package included. You have to buy that separately so we need to use another system to manage that."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"Overall, I think it's fine. It's pretty much in-line because there are ways to offset it with the Office 365 licensing."

"The price model is different for every client."

"For enterprises, there is an annual license required to use this solution. The price of the solution could be cheaper. However, this is mostly because of the exchange rate from the dollar to the Nigerian currency."

"When you compare this solution with other tools in the market you might actually find a lot of variation in the pricing and that's why people opt for the other tools rather than Microsoft tools."

"There is an annual license needed to use the solution."

"There is not a license needed to use the solution."

"We have to pay for a license."

"The license price could be reduced for Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager They should make the price more affordable for smaller companies, most companies would be able to use the solution if it was priced better. There are more people on this cloud because you don't have to have either a server room or an on-premise server. You can have one IT person handle this without any local infrastructure."
