We performed a comparison between New Relic and BMC TrueSight Operations Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: New Relic offers better network monitoring, longer historical data retention, improved error debugging and log correlation, and better dashboard customization and access management. It also has a simpler user interface, easier setup process, and more straightforward pricing. While BMC TrueSight Operations Management has some valuable features, it needs improvement in several areas, including deeper application monitoring, better cloud monitoring, and more powerful reporting dashboards.
"The tool is flexible enough to be customized based on customer requirements."
"The noise reduction for ticketing works much better than we have seen in a lot of other companies."
"The most valuable features of BMC TrueSight Operations Management are the blackouts and event management."
"The initial setup of BMC TrueSight Operations Management was easy."
"I believe that the ease of use and UI is great"
"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."
"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."
"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"It has prevented failures from occurring in our production environment."
"We were able to integrate with the messaging tool, Slack, which meant that we got notifications whenever something was not quite right."
"They instrument up from the bottom to the top – every piece of code - they have a very perfect read of what’s being done, and how long it’s taking."
"There are many valuable features in New Relic APM. We developed some software applications and we are able to monitor the errors very easily. Their log security retention is very good."
"The most valuable features are infrastructure monitoring and application performance monitoring (APM)."
"We have done the New Relic integration with Serverless AWS, which has helped us with monitoring, and keeping our monitoring from our on-premise part with the cloud part."
"It offers helpful user metrics so we can learn more about the user experience."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The solution is overly complex."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"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."
"Specifically around application performance monitoring, BMC is definitely not the market leader. The Dynatraces, the New Relics and the like are more of the market leaders in that space. I would like to see them grow that space a little bit more aggressively. It has not really been their bread and butter."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"The pricing could be better."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"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."
"There are certain features that are not supported in New Relic, such as CATSEARCH, which allows you to do a full-text search."
"New Relic APM could improve error debugging and the correlation with the logs. We are receiving some alerts or alarms but we need to correlate with the error log, but it is difficult if it is more than seven months retention period, it is hard to trace. We need this especially for getting historical information."
"I think that there have been some questionable product enhancements. Over a year ago, New Relic rolled out a new navigation that really disrupted our workflow."
"In the next release, I'd like to see a better pricing structure."
"There has been some problem with the agent, and it is just not working well. It is not able to record information with the application server. They have been able to fix the issue, but it took quite a long time. This is the main issue in the APM products and also in New Relic. The mobile application monitoring has been pretty difficult to set up and also quite expensive. It should be a little bit easier and cheaper. Because it is pretty difficult and expensive, many customers don't take it."
"Data Dog captures the entire session and then provides it as a video player path, which gives more insight into what the user was doing. It's pretty impressive. New Relic does that, yet it only captures using a couple of screenshots, which is not very detailed since you are unable to see the entire user flow."
"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."
"I would like the ability to set up certain dummy accounts and do the actual things that the customer is doing, without impacting the production environment."
