We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Oracle Enterprise Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."What I like best about BMC TrueSight Operations Management is that it allows you to do granular monitoring and improves VM load."
"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."
"It is a very stable product."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is the dashboard presentation server."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"We're using native monitoring capabilities for all our server hardware, for visibility for applications, for URLs, for webpage response and accuracy, and for monitoring network throughput in a lot of particular instances. We're using lightweight protocols for pinging, for DNS, for LDAP."
"We use it extensively for performance tuning testing, monitoring, and configuration."
"It's easy to implement as it's made by Oracle for Oracle."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"The tried and tested services that Oracle provides is second to none."
"I mostly use the top events, and look at how the execution is happening on the database; and monitoring the cluster level rates. I even look at the execution plan."
"The most valuable features are security and speed."
"Some of the most valuable features are its real-time performance view/dashboard, metric history, real-time monitoring and alerts, as well as quick access to Oracle's tuning and diagnostic options."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases."
"One of the things that the TrueSight environment is missing is some of the HA abilities. The data collection server called the ISM doesn't really have the HA functionality or workload balancing. It was missing from the previous product as well. It's missing redundancy."
"The dashboards are not good. We have a limited dashboard, and if we want better dashboards, we need to use other solutions like Grafana because the TrueSight dashboards are not good."
"We have a unique use case because BMC typically sells this solution into enterprises that are deploying it within their IT, versus to a managed services provider like us where we're supporting thousands of customers. Multi-tenancy and the scalability have been challenges along the way, as we've grown... If anything could have gone better as we were ramping this up and adding a lot of volume to it, I would say it's the scalability. That would be one thing that could be improved."
"The pricing could be better."
"Reporting would be an area for improvement in TrueSight... We have almost 800 customers today on TrueSight and just under 10,000 assets. We need to be able to give a customer some information. If the customer's product fails, they'll ask us, "Did it have a problem beforehand?" We have all those events and we know all the problems it had beforehand. We have to be able to give them access to that kind of reporting. That's an enhancement that we need."
"There are some small limitations with this tool in terms of reporting dashboards that fit all of the requirements of the individual customer."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"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."
"Technical support could be faster."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"The tool is expensive."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."
"They should improve the hover text context. This would provide assistance whenever a task is attempted by a DBA."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement."
