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…
Vinay Lal - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of Testing & AVP at Flash AI
Distributed tracing has transformed our testing workflows and now uncovers hidden failures fast
The best features Lumigo offers include the live stream architecture and transaction mapping, which helps to automatically generate and update the visual execution topology for every single test transaction. After seeing the exact flow from the edge API through intermediate queues and containerized microservices down to managed storage, it gives our QA engineers instant context. Additionally, I love the request-response payload inspection feature, which captures input and output parameters, request headers, and invocation payload safely. When an automated integration test fails, the exact offending payload is visible right inside the trace, helping to save our QA and engineering teams a lot of time, leading to at least a 48.33% drop in wasted time previously spent finding the root cause. With automation saved, automated root cause correlation has helped to correlate logs, metrics, and trace spans across asynchronous boundaries, which is notoriously difficult to debug in event-driven AI pipelines. The live stream architecture and transaction mapping make such a difference for my team, as it generates updates regularly via visual execution and the topology for every single test transaction, providing us with a view through intermediate queues and microservices to managed storage, giving engineers instant context of transactions and payloads, which saves at least 49% of our time and allows overall resources to be used more effectively. Regarding Lumigo's AI capabilities, I find the governance of security to be really good, and we have seen a positive impact due to the AI capabilities alongside strict compliance regulations such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001, proving it is compliant with applicable regulations and policies. Lumigo's accuracy is close to 100%, making it very reliable. Lumigo integrates seamlessly with other AWS services we use, and we have not faced any issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution."
"The BMC TrueSight platform wins probably 80 percent of the time if you look feature by feature."
"Allows reliable access to server hardware info, uptime statuses, current patching, and much more."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
"I like the deep-dive detail and end-user metrics data."
"I like everything about this tool. I recommend this solution to anyone looking for a standalone solution with high availability meaning that can be used depending on the customers requirements."
"I believe that the ease of use and UI is great"
"Lumigo has positively impacted our organization with transformative ROI for our quality engineering and delivery cycles, where the meantime to defect and resolve due to debugging failed end-to-end integration test runs has dropped over 68.3%."
"Any new member, whether from the development side or business team, finds the user-friendly UI easy to understand."
 

Cons

"Specifically around application performance monitoring, BMC is definitely not the market leader."
"The dashboards could be better. The graphs are extremely limited."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"The graphs are extremely limited. We don't have a lot of dashboard options. To make reports and dashboards more useful, we usually need to integrate some dashboard solutions."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"The L1 and L2 support team need improvement in terms of product knowledge, but most of the time, they're always available and always trying to help us out."
"I would like to see a little more out-of-the-box event correlation and expanded AIOps type capabilities. Where you can train your artificial intelligence operations to be able to memorize an issue once you encounter one scenario, so if you encounter that same problem, you can get to the root cause very quickly."
"I think support needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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..."
"The tool is moderately expensive."
"They have changed the licensing fees."
"We're end-of-lifeing it now. Overall, the licensing costs of BMC are a challenge for us in that they're hard costs, whereas open-source monitoring has soft costs, where it's harder to line-item."
"Annual licensing amount depends on the customers requirements. Support is an additional fee and there are options for three and five year support."
"Though I have no clue about the tool's actual price, I know that it is astronomical."
"We did a five-year, multimillion dollar deal."
"The only possible additional cost that I can mention, that you might not be aware of, is that it uses Oracle partitioning, if you use Oracle. There are Oracle partitioning fees that go with that."
