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…
Aphiwat Leetavorn. - PeerSpot reviewer
CTO at Marco Technology
Proactive monitoring boosts system reliability but requires improved protocol support and script customization
Improvements can be made to OpenText Business Process Monitoring, especially since we have faced issues with protocol support and creating scripts in past implementations. Creating a proactive request requires a specific skill set, so a template for scripts that work across various protocols should be recommended. The dashboard of OpenText Business Process Monitoring is good enough, but in my operational environment, it is not sufficient. Therefore, I have had to customize everything beyond the package, utilizing Prometheus and Grafana to render more dashboards.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"Having a good monitoring implementation has made a world of difference to our operations teams."
"It's a really good tool and most of the issues we've got, they've either fixed or they're fixing to fix."
"TrueSight Operations Manager is a combination of different components (applications) like Presentation Server, Impact Manager, and AppVisibility Manager and IT's Data Analytics, but it provides a seamless integration and a holistic view with Application and Infrastructure Health views."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is the dashboard presentation server."
"The most valuable features of the solution are alert management, alert generation, and event management."
"The very fact that we've been on it for ten years is a testament, as we continue to make the investment and pay the renewal because the return has been fantastic."
"The solution is very good at showing users ways to use a user action on a website and to see the performance."
"Product allows business analysts to create the application with very little software development time needed."
"Ability to monitor multiple application protocols."
"The stability has been very good over the years."
"The main benefits of using OpenText Business Process Monitoring for my company include anomaly detection and proactive analysis, which enhance our monitoring capabilities."
"What I find most valuable is that it has synthetic monitoring that you can run from different geographies and identify, as it’s more proactive monitoring than reactive monitoring, so it'll alert customers before they find out things are not working, and proactive monitoring is very helpful to most of our customers."
"The tool team was sort of aware of those tools to deal with. And, that helped us to deliver the project on time."
"Automates processes and allows reports and statistics to improve the speed at which changes and assets are managed."
 

Cons

"We were somewhat limited in TrueSight due to some of the RBAC controls not quite being what we wanted as far as delegating out administrative privileges for implementation. But because we were able to turn requests around pretty well, that burden wasn't too heavy."
"The solution is based on endpoints and knowledge models which can get costly. Pricing is a little bit high so I rate it a six out of ten."
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"I would like them to improve the deep-dive details, tracing, and data agents in this product."
"It's a far more complex technology than I perceived at the beginning to deploy."
"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."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"Support has experienced high turnover recently due to HP acqusition of the former Mercury Interactive product."
"Product documentation is lacking, and sometimes, incorrect. Having better documentation will allow business analysts and data center personnel to rely on the Micro Focus help desk less."
"Improvements can be made to OpenText Business Process Monitoring, especially since we have faced issues with protocol support and creating scripts in past implementations."
"It doesn't have SNMP, the standard communication protocol for sending alerts."
"The product has been discontinued."
"Product documentation is lacking, and sometimes, incorrect."
"The solution should offer better integration with other tools from a service management perspective."
"Customer support is pretty average and can use some improvement."
 

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."
"Other products are more expensive than BMC TrueSight."
"It is a large, complex product. So, there is a commitment of manpower to deploy it, as it is not a cheap product."
"The solutions are not the cheapest but are robust and stable. License model is rather complex and BMC do often change the model."
"We did a five-year, multimillion dollar deal."
"The cost depends on the usage."
"Consider scalability very carefully: how much you want to monitor and what components are very important. Then, depending on these two things, filter out unwanted metrics or attributes. If you do a good job at filtering the data, then your licensing costs will be manageable."
"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."
"On a three-year license package, it was a good deal."
