There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool.

When we make an API call, a new session opens each time. It negatively impacts performance. There must be a single session throughout multiple API calls for smooth functioning. In addition, it becomes tedious to scale for many devices. We have to use two to three servers in case of 50,000 or more devices. There should be a plug-and-play feature to allocate servers and directly add or remove devices.

BMC TrueSight Network Automation can improve by having a better UI. The overall quality of the UI could be better. In an upcoming release, it would be beneficial to add IPAM. I rated the solution a nine because it is easy to use and deploy and supports multiple devices.

The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices.

I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology. I also think that more adapters could be added for the new cloud solutions. It needs to improve with the market. But, It has new features added this year and performance improvements.

There probably needs to be a little bit more collaboration between the Entuity teams and the BBNA teams. For our endpoint device monitoring we typically use a tool called Entuity. We buy it through BMC. TrueSight or BPPM typically does performance monitoring for servers, but for endpoint devices, such as routers, switches, etc., we typically use Entuity. The network automation tool keeps these configurations for us, keeps them all tight and clean, and makes sure things are synced up. But there's a lot of room for improvement in expanding the functionality of BBNA to work a little bit more tightly with Entuity. Right now they're still very siloed in terms of the toolsets. There might be some opportunities to grow that partnership. In terms of additional features, I'm wondering if they should be looking at integration with some other toolsets, such as Ansible on the Red Hat side, or other scripting capabilities on the Windows side. A little bit more thought could be put toward using those tools. We also use Atrium Orchestrator in-house. It's a run-book automation tool. Having more out-of-the-box orchestration examples in AO to leverage BBNA and TrueSight would be really good to see.

I would like to see more device supported features, mostly on the new brands and models coming in. For any new version or model, it should be supported by the tool, especially the newest versions. For example, the newest devices, like Aruba Wireless, and routers need support from the tool.

I'd like to be able to get more devices into compliance with standards, but that means running additional rule sets and that takes time.

Configuration Management
What is configuration management? Configuration management is a type of systems engineering process that helps to achieve consistency of a product through its life cycle. The goal of configuration management processes and tools is to keep computer systems, servers, and software consistently in the desired state. Managing IT system configurations requires defining what is the system’s desired state and then maintaining it. Since system changes happen frequently across servers, networks,...
