We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and DX Spectrum 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."Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"TSOM's ability to consolidate alerts into a single location and provide filtering of alerts is great."
"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."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"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 part of TrueSight Operations Management, in my experience, is probably the best in the market. You have endless flexibility. You can build your own rules, you have the MRL language, and you can implement any kind of logic on the alerts. It may be correlation, abstraction, or executing something as a result of the alerts. You have almost the whole range of options available for event management using the available customization."
"Some of the most valuable features are it's highly scalable, the carrier is great, and if something has SNMP, it can monitor it. It's a great network fault management solution."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"The graphs are extremely limited. We don't have a lot of dashboard options. To make reports and dashboards more useful, we usually need to integrate some dashboard solutions."
"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"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."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"It takes some time to learn how to use this solution."
"For my use case, incident coordination was an area of improvement. The internal software engine for coordinating outages could use improvement because sometimes, we used to get false alerts for unrelated devices. They did a really good job of trying to make sure that you got one major alert and any of the subsequent devices downstream were just additions to that, but occasionally, the engine wouldn't properly catch the right things, and we used to get a flood of alerts."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"From the users perspective the looks and feel of dashboards of Spectrum would be easier to use and for understanding as APM will be in 10.5 version which we saw in CA World."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
