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."It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"We can verify uptimes as another source of keeping devices in compliance."
"The most valuable features of BMC TrueSight Operations Management are the blackouts and event management."
"It is a very stable product."
"I like the deep-dive detail and end-user metrics data. The synthetic monitor is the best one. The best point of the new one is that there's no need for configuration. You can inject the Java script and start to change major developments in the application. This is a good approach, and we received all the data using this."
"It is a stable solution."
"Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"Because it's Windows-based, it actually reports quite well. It reports everything you can think of on the Windows server and allows you to monitor anything. It's excellent for those in the Windows world as it's very good at it."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"SCOM has helped us to monitor all the VMs in our environment, especially the Windows servers."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"The solution primarily drives system information, and I believe it works fine."
"The solution is used for monitoring the hardware inventory. For instance, it helps with the whole operational monitoring view for the company's infrastructure."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"The product’s auto-remediation feature helps with automation."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"In our company, we faced some issues with the solution’s application endpoint, IP, and the physical location of the transactions."
"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."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"The pricing could be better."
"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."
"It lacks certain details that other products do better, like granular access and better application monitoring."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
"Of course, price is always an issue with Microsoft and could be improved."
"The solution should be more user-friendly and offer a better user interface."
"The management of the servers could be better."
"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."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
"Third-party tools have had to be created to make SCOM management pack creation more efficient and effective. However, this weighs down the application as it just adds a resource requirement, which is ballooning the size of the necessary storage and all that for essentially substandard components."
