While both BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Grafana have valuable features, Grafana's good integration and visually appealing graphs make it a popular choice and the preferred solution.
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"The solution provides visibility to our infrastructure, how it is, the resources we are monitoring, and quick updates when it has any problems. We have integrated it with ServiceNow to open instances."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"From an administrative standpoint, what stands out in TrueSight is the ability to implement quickly. When they have a requirement to monitor something, we're able to turn that on quickly in their environment. We're able to set up new apps within a day."
"The solution's event management capabilities are fantastic. We do a best of breed. If, on the network side, they use a different tool, we pull all that data in so that we have a single console. It's kind of like the monitor of monitors. We're able to aggregate all the different types of data sets, whether it's log data, app data, OS data, infrastructure data, or network data. We're able to aggregate all those events and then correlate and be able to say we're having an event."
"TSOM's ability to consolidate alerts into a single location and provide filtering of alerts is great."
"The tailoring of the knowledge modules has been particularly useful as I can streamline the agents to only report on critical events."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"This solution provides valuable insights into the health of our infrastructure in real time."
"The most valuable feature of Grafana is the ease to build dashboards from observability construction. Additionally, the page services and integration are good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the UI dashboard because we need to create a dashboard on Grafana to monitor our data."
"Grafana's best features are live monitoring and alerts."
"The initial setup is straightforward with just a few clicks on the solution's cloud."
"The integration between Loki and Tempo is valuable."
"The solution can scale well."
"The comparison feature is very good."
"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."
"In a large company of our size, we need multiple people in our company trained. So, I have to take the training classes. Then, I have to go and train the rest of my organization. I would prefer to say to the other people on my team, "Go to this link and..." Or, "Here's a list of training sessions that you can go to which are online and that are free." I think it would help the adoption of their product in the marketplace, personally."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"The one piece that I would love to see is a general-purpose, configurable agent which would be a framework that you can deploy on anything, whether it be Java or anything else. It would allow you to easily deploy it on a platform that they support."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"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."
"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."
"The stability of BMC TrueSight Operations Management needs improvement. My organization's infrastructure is vast and implemented based on BMC recommendations, but the solution needs to be optimized for large-capacity infrastructure."
"The service dashboard is very hard and needs improvement."
"Trigger limits are difficult to see in a graph."
"It would be helpful if Grafana provided more information and training on how to use Prometheus."
"I would like the ability to download my results into any format in order to share the information with my clients."
"Lacks event management which affects our DevOps people."
"The product's configuration for saving files could be improved."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The documentation or training provided by Grafana is limited compared to its competitors, like Splunk."
