We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Orchestration and vCenter Orchestrator based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Process Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 product has a very good triggering mechanism."
"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"
"I find the provisioning to be the most valuable."
"The best feature of BMC TrueSight Orchestration is the number of integrated mechanisms it provides."
"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."
"I am impressed with the tool's easiness to work with VMware solutions."
"The most valuable feature is how easy it makes it to manage the VM."
"It is the most cost-effective method for moving data between machines."
"Because of the central management, the scripting engine and workflow engine are integrated with VMware without any burden to integrate different products."
"vCenter Orchestrator is easy to use."
"vCenter Orchestrator is very reliable and stable."
"In regards to the workflows, the fact that we can actually have a full dashboard library of all the existing workflows on this is great. We can see all the workflows and what all the actions do and can work with scripts."
"vCenter Orchestrator's best features are the workflows, integration with third-party applications, and the workflow library."
"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 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."
"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."
"BMC TrueSight Orchestration is difficult to understand. It's not very user-friendly."
"BMC TrueSight Orchestration could improve by providing some visibility on how the workflows are progressing."
"Regarding scalability, the architecture does not allow you to add additional servers just able to use two application servers, so it's not scalable."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The cost of the solution is high."
"It is practically difficult at this stage to really comment on the improvisations of V central. But more tech events and PoC cases would help the EA to design better solutions and utilization."
"The licensing is expensive and should be improved."
"This is an expensive solution."
"I did not do the initial setup. However, it was complex at the beginning."
"There can be compatibility issues."
"I would like to see, from within the Web Console, being able to define the project and custom templates per user; almost like how CloudSpec has approached the solution."
"I would like to see more automation added in the future."
