We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Nutanix Prism based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"I like the event management part."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"I use the solution to monitor servers, databases, Windows, Linux, and web services."
"The most valuable features of BMC TrueSight Operations Management are the blackouts and event management."
"It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
"The fact that they have a very integrated relationship with Sentry Software, the Knowledge Module, is valuable... The richest feature for us is the number of Knowledge Modules that we can load into the product to add breadth of service to the customer. It enables us to move up the operational stack from hardware, to operating system, to application, and to cloud... That enables us to provide one pane of glass over all those layers - hardware, OS, app, and cloud."
"Its event management capabilities are very open and flexible. I haven't seen a use case scenario with a customer that we couldn't actually solve the problem for, so it's really good. There are some interesting things that happen in an enterprise network (things that people don't normally expect), and the event management product is very flexible. You can solve problems as far as your imagination can go with it."
"Nutanix Insights... does analytics on resource usage for all virtual machines to determine if they are using the allocated resources efficiently or if they are wasting them. It gives us insights into which virtual machines are using the resources over the past months or weeks or days, and which ones are not using them. That way, we can rearrange resource usage for the virtual machines."
"Before implementing Prism, we had an issue with too many alerts for similar issues, so it was difficult to maintain them. The alerts kept coming, and we had a hard time keeping track of everything. We had multiple alerts about CPU, RAM, and storage. Prism helps us identify and eliminate false alerts because most of them were redundant."
"We can also manage our disaster recovery plan from a single console."
"In the six years we have been using Nutanix Prism, we have never had a problem with stability."
"Nutanix Prism offers web scaling, which facilitates easy scaling."
"Prism provides us with insights and the ability to access all the sub-components of Nutanix's hyperconverged platform."
"Its scalability is valuable. It's scalable and fast."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's single-pane-of-glass approach to consolidating all of the various metrics and interfaces that I would typically have to access via multiple screens in other products. The ease of use would probably be the single biggest selling point."
"The product must provide more AI capabilities."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"In our company, we faced some issues with the solution’s application endpoint, IP, and the physical location of the transactions."
"There are some small limitations with this tool in terms of reporting dashboards that fit all of the requirements of the individual customer."
"There are some things that you can only do via the command line. Over the years that I've been using Nutanix, they've slowly integrated those into Prism, but they're still trying to catch up with a solution that has been around longer, like VMware."
"I would like to see the integration of native, one-click "open support ticket" functionality for errors generated by the system within Prism. Currently, we have to manually open a support ticket in a separate web browser and manually input the error information."
"The life cycle management or LCM feature is the most complicated. It takes really long and is unpredictable for our use cases. They should provide more detailed information about the kind of LCM to go for, various errors, and different kinds of tasks. For analytics for certain configurations, we require more details with the report. Sometimes, not all elements are present for support, management, and configuration. For troubleshooting, it would be very easy and useful if we can analyze log files directly from Prism, that is, not from the command line but directly from Prism."
"When we get a request from a user for a file-level recovery, there are self-recovery options, but they only work if the replication is available to that cluster locally... In VMware, we could restore a VM and attach the hard drive to any other server and copy the file easily. But that kind of facility is not available in AHV."
"There is a bug with the HTML5 interface."
"The interface is good, but it needs improvements. There are a lot of functions that are only available in the CLI. In addition, some of the hardware components could be improved. We already had some trouble with disks."
"Does not yet have micro application using a company's provider."
"Some of the products are not interoperable for multi-cloud or multi-site tasks."
