We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and DX Spectrum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"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."
"I use the solution to monitor servers, databases, Windows, Linux, and web services."
"I believe that the ease of use and UI is great"
"The initial setup of BMC TrueSight Operations Management was easy."
"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
"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 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."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"It helps our NetOps group actually handle alarms in a way that lets them see the bigger picture of those alarms, and how they might affect our services. It helps us communicate information about the network state better to services that might be impacted by a specific network condition."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"Scalability is a highly rated feature of this solution. It is better than some of the other tools that I've used in terms of scalability. We scaled it to tens of thousands of devices."
"The main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
"The solution is overly complex."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"The solution could improve its price."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"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."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"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."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"There should be better integration with other Broadcom products, like network performance manager. Currently, for every part of a product, you need a separate server environment. You have something for Spectrum, you have something for network performance, and you have something for NetFlow. There are a lot of islands and server farms with different technologies. They should be redeveloped to get one platform for all."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
