We performed a comparison between BMC Helix Monitor and BMC TrueSight Operations Management 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."The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that BMC Helix Monitor is an agentless tool, because of which you don't need to deploy agents on each and every system in your IT environment."
"It is evolving more and more into artificial intelligence."
"The service operations monitoring features are valuable."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"The noise reduction for ticketing works much better than we have seen in a lot of other companies."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"It is a stable solution."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"The tool is flexible enough to be customized based on customer requirements."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's GUI and some patching-related information are areas with shortcomings where enhancements are needed, though I believe they are areas that fall under BMC's roadmap for the future."
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
"The product must provide more information and dashboards."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"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."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"The stability of BMC TrueSight Operations Management needs improvement. My organization's infrastructure is vast and implemented based on BMC recommendations, but the solution needs to be optimized for large-capacity infrastructure."
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"BMC's online documentation is often incorrect or incomplete."
"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."
