We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Helix Innovation Studio is a very good feature. It allows us to develop our own enterprise applications and make them available for the customers."
"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is the dashboard presentation server."
"We can verify uptimes as another source of keeping devices in compliance."
"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."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"What I like best about BMC TrueSight Operations Management is that it allows you to do granular monitoring and improves VM load."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"The solution is used for monitoring the hardware inventory. For instance, it helps with the whole operational monitoring view for the company's infrastructure."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"I enjoy its integration with the Microsoft Active Directory functions, which means users, computers, or other group policies can connect with Windows Active Directory."
"The solution could improve its price."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"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."
"I definitely would like to see more improvement in the self-diagnostics. I need to know when anything is not working or collecting, long before our customer finds it."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"The sizing (which is difficult), the maintenance of it and the upgrade paths. This is a difficult area which is not easy to cover, as every client has a different approach of implementing the product."
"I would like them to improve the deep-dive details, tracing, and data agents in this product. We have EUEM, an end-user experience monitoring appliance. This one's quicker than the current one, and reporting side and filtration side are very bad. There are many details we look at and explain what we receive information in the current one, but we cannot have historical data like we do with EUEM. We cannot have a powerful point to look for specific traffic from a specific application and a specific browser. We don't have it in the new one. The current BMC also needs to add the thing that control versions."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"The management of the servers could be better."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
"The solution should have more tools for monitoring the cloud engine versus on-premise."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
"Then there is also an issue with capacity and limited space. That is something that needs to be improved."
