Has improved monitoring efficiency and supports fast issue resolution through responsive support and reliable automation
I work with BMC TrueSight and have been using it for eight-plus years BMC TrueSight brought a positive impact and benefits to our organization. The customization part is one of the advantages of the product, along with the monitoring capabilities. Automated root cause analysis and predictive…

Automation increases efficiency, but pricing needs to be more competitive
Improvement is needed in making it cheaper, of course. I am not emphasizing making it cheaper, however, it should be more competitive with other products. The product itself is very good and helpful for me as a customer. The issue always is the price, as we cannot beat most of our competitors on pricing alone. If a product is just nice to have, not essential like an antivirus, if it's not really competitive with pricing, we cannot sell it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The visibility of the environment that the solutions provide is great."
"From the time we get the incident logged to the time we get the customer back up and running, it has improved that by 33 percent or greater."
"TSOM's ability to consolidate alerts into a single location and provide filtering of alerts is great."
"Automated root cause analysis and predictive capabilities are powerful features that assist in resource utilization and capacity planning."
"We're using native monitoring capabilities for all our server hardware, for visibility for applications, for URLs, for webpage response and accuracy, and for monitoring network throughput in a lot of particular instances. We're using lightweight protocols for pinging, for DNS, for LDAP."
"The tailoring of the knowledge modules has been particularly useful as I can streamline the agents to only report on critical events."
"Now, through the use of this product, we have been able to reduce the headcount by five people, as we are able to eliminate the eyes on the glass."
"Using the TrueSight platform we can monitor server performance and notify the customers using the integrated ticketing for events. We can let them know if there are any issues with a server, or application, or database."
"Kaseya Traverse is a very stable solution and very sustainable in terms of what the market wants, what is out there, price-wise and functionality features. They're quite competitive and they are always innovating."
"In terms of most valuable features, we are happy with everything so far, and maybe in a year's time I'll have a different opinion on what can change, what can be better, but for now it's the perfect solution."
"It's a simple and humble tool."
"If I want to automate the management and maintenance of my server automatically, this product is a good use case for that."
"Most of the features are pretty good and the solution is user friendly."
"Automating processes is crucial for me, so the automation part stands out."
"Everything is running seamlessly on the solution, to the point where you don't see any gap."
"We have found the solution to be very flexible to our requirements. We have been able to configure it on-premise effectively when we were using less of the cloud."
 

Cons

"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"I would like to see a little more out-of-the-box event correlation and expanded AIOps type capabilities."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"Reporting would be an area for improvement in TrueSight."
"BMC's online documentation is often incorrect or incomplete."
"The SLA reports that we get on TrueSight today are unfortunately worthless."
"One of the things that the TrueSight environment is missing is some of the HA abilities."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"Dashboards and Central Protection were an issue. Also, database monitoring was not there. Even though they said that it was there at an additional cost, that tool was very basic. We couldn't have device configuration backup also."
"The tool needs to have some AI capabilities, which it lacks currently."
"Reporting is tedious and not organized in the way customers expect."
"I think the software is still a little bit too new to actually fully assess what it has."
"Improvement is needed in making it cheaper."
"In terms of what could be improved, we are innovating all the time, as well as having a look at different avenues so that the strategy follows the structure. I think the software is still a little bit too new to actually fully asses what it has."
"Reporting is a bit difficult."
"With my most recent experiences on the solution, I can say that it isn't currently stable; there are a lot of glitches and bugs and the reliability just isn't there right now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Annual licensing amount depends on the customers requirements. Support is an additional fee and there are options for three and five year support."
"We pay license fees of between $150 and $200 per asset. There is an enterprise software license fee, and then you pay a percentage for your maintenance, and then Premier Support. For example, if you buy a two-year license for the product, then the maintenance fee is added to that for two years at X percent a year. Then there's a small fee on top of that for Premier Support..."
"It is a large, complex product. So, there is a commitment of manpower to deploy it, as it is not a cheap product."
"They have changed the licensing fees."
"Pricing is very high."
"Use conservative figures. In terms of hardware, monitored servers and also effort. The product is not cheap. But as with other products, you get what you pay for."
"The solution is based on endpoints and knowledge models which can be costly."
"The price of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is very high. If there was more flexibility with the sizing of the licensing it would be helpful, especially during the pandemic. We have wanted to expend but the licensing cost is too high."
"The solution is not cheap, but it is not too expensive."
"The price depends on whether you are monitoring different applications, especially in bulk, and depends on what you're doing. If you're monitoring one endpoint, it will cost you 150 ZAR."
