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 service operations monitoring features are valuable."
"It is evolving more and more into artificial intelligence."
"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."
"The ability of this platform to monitor the very diverse assets that we maintain around the world is its most valuable feature... We support a vast array of manufacturers' equipment, like HP, IBM, Cisco, Dell, EMC, Hitachi... We can do it all with [this] one [solution]."
"It provides common administration, and a Single Sign-On Platform with RBAC, which eases the cross launch between multiple tools"
"Using the TrueSight platform we can monitor server performance and notify the customers using the integrated ticketing for events. We can let them know if there are any issues with a server, or application, or database."
"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"TSOM's ability to consolidate alerts into a single location and provide filtering of alerts is great."
"Helix Innovation Studio is a very good feature. It allows us to develop our own enterprise applications and make them available for the customers."
"Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
"The product must provide more information and dashboards."
"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."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"There are some small limitations with this tool in terms of reporting dashboards that fit all of the requirements of the individual customer."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"I would like them to improve the deep-dive details, tracing, and data agents in this product. We have EUEM, an end-user experience monitoring appliance. This one's quicker than the current one, and reporting side and filtration side are very bad. There are many details we look at and explain what we receive information in the current one, but we cannot have historical data like we do with EUEM. We cannot have a powerful point to look for specific traffic from a specific application and a specific browser. We don't have it in the new one. The current BMC also needs to add the thing that control versions."
"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."
