We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and BMC TrueSight Operations Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Azure Monitor is the preferred option due to its ease of setup, low-cost pricing, and integration with other Microsoft technologies. It also provides a more convenient and efficient solution for developers by offering a one-stop place to monitor all cloud resources across multiple subscriptions in one dashboard. BMC TrueSight Operations Management has valuable features, but needs improvement in areas such as cloud monitoring, reporting dashboards, and pricing.
"The solution very easily integrates with Azure services and in one click you can monitor your resource."
"In the last company where I worked about a year ago, it looked very simple."
"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"Good load and metrics gathering and very good analysis."
"The most valuable feature is the universality of their functionalities in all Azure services, including, software solutions."
"Azure Monitor is really just a source for Dynatrace. It's just collecting data and monitoring the environment and the infrastructure. It is fairly good at that."
"For me, the best feature is the log analysis with Azure Monitor's Log Analytics. Without being able to analyze the logs of all the activities that affect the performance of a machine, your monitoring effectiveness will be severely limited."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to focus on delivery and maximizing the performance of applications and services."
"The solution has a very good business event manager tool."
"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."
"I like everything about this tool. I recommend this solution to anyone looking for a standalone solution with high availability meaning that can be used depending on the customers requirements."
"I use the solution to monitor servers, databases, Windows, Linux, and web services."
"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."
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"The ability to pull hosts together to show what processes are running, so it can be used for change management."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"The biggest one is probably just the user interface. There could be more advanced logging at the database level. They can also improve their query builder to allow you to search for things better, but I last used it about a year ago. They might have already changed a ton of things in the newer versions."
"It might not have all of the capabilities we will need."
"Azure Monitor could improve the visualization aspect and integrate better with other third-party services."
"This solution could be improved with more out-of-the-box functionalities and artificial intelligence to complete event correlation."
"As a younger product it still has room for feature improvement and enhancement."
"They can simplify the overall complexity since you have multiple data sources in the cloud for monitoring. It's quite simple, but there are so many portals. It takes time to work with it. If they could simplify the user configuration, that would be good."
"Currently, it seems it's complicated to get the correct information in terms of what to do and how things work."
"In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"The solution is overly complex."
"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."
"In our company, we faced some issues with the solution’s application endpoint, IP, and the physical location of the transactions."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
