We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Splunk ITSI is the favored option over BMC TrueSight Operations Management due to its seamless integration with DLP and automated dashboarding and reporting. The product allows users to create automatons that run when alerts are triggered. Although considered pricey, Splunk ITSI delivers a positive ROI by reducing data report costs for organizations.
"I believe that the ease of use and UI is great"
"The initial setup of BMC TrueSight Operations Management was easy."
"We have one application, which is fairly large. In the past, we had Level 1 and 2 NOC support teams who were responsible for watching dashboards. When they saw an issue in the application, they would call Level 2 or 3 support and escalate the call, if necessary. Now, through the use of this product, we have been able to reduce the headcount by five people, as we are able to eliminate the eyes on the glass. We no longer have people watching the dashboard. We have events which are processed automatically through the system and get to the right people. We had six people in L1s, and now have one. So, we reduced five out of six headcount, which is pretty significant."
"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."
"I use the solution to monitor servers, databases, Windows, Linux, and web services."
"It has provided us with a single location to host all events to be viewed/monitored by our NOC. This has greatly helped them to streamline their processes."
"It is a very stable product."
"The fact that they have a very integrated relationship with Sentry Software, the Knowledge Module, is valuable... The richest feature for us is the number of Knowledge Modules that we can load into the product to add breadth of service to the customer. It enables us to move up the operational stack from hardware, to operating system, to application, and to cloud... That enables us to provide one pane of glass over all those layers - hardware, OS, app, and cloud."
"ITSI includes a feature called a glass table."
"We save substantial time on monitoring tasks because we don't have to search for what we need. Everything is packed, so you can drill down to the end values by just doing the kit. We don't spend a lot of time on this. Splunk ITSI is easy to use and not time-consuming."
"ITSI provides a visual representation of complex tools and context, using color coding and other features to make it easy for anyone at the monitoring or service desk to use."
"I find the episode review, glass tables, and correlation search features very useful."
"One particularly useful feature of Splunk ITSI is the ability to create custom services."
"The solution has been stable."
"The most valuable feature is the Glass Tables. It gives you a nice, good overview of your KPIs. It's really slick and clean."
"Our mean time to detect is down to five minutes."
"It's too complex, too many servers are required, there are too many different components in the solution, and a lot of agents are required."
"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"The solution could improve its price."
"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 solution's support service could be better."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"The product must provide more AI capabilities."
"We experience occasional delays in receiving solutions from Splunk technical support. Splunk's support for P3 cases seems inadequate, as they frequently switch support personnel. For instance, in a single P3 case, we had three different technical support representatives assigned. We were ultimately forced to escalate the issue to our account manager to get it resolved. In essence, we never receive complete support from a single point of contact; instead, the support team keeps changing, necessitating us to explain the problem from scratch each time."
"We also faced challenges relating to UI development."
"Splunk ITSI generates numerous false positives and has the potential for enhancement."
"It would be good if an interface was included in the next release."
"It was an intimidating tool for us to jump into at the beginning."
"Predictive analytics, in terms of preventing incidents before they occur, still needs time to mature."
"Splunk ITSI consumes a lot of CPU resources."
"Some of our customers occasionally require the development of the connectors when there are no native connectors so that we can develop in Python or for customer slash comments as well. If they could adjust that, it would be ideal."
