Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The best feature of BMC TrueSight Orchestration is the number of integrated mechanisms it provides.""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.""This solution is scalable.""The initial setup is easy. The deployment was done in an hour.""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.""I find the provisioning to be the most valuable.""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."

Cons
"The solution is not user-friendly.""BMC TrueSight Orchestration is difficult to understand. It's not very 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.""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.""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.""BMC TrueSight Orchestration could improve by providing some visibility on how the workflows are progressing.""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."

"I find the Orchestrator UI to be problematic.""The product's management aspect needs enhancement."
