We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management, DX Performance Management, and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The most valuable features of BMC TrueSight Operations Management are the blackouts and event management."
"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."
"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"The event management tool builds correlation logic and protection algorithms into a field of events that is valuable when a data center goes down."
"The tailoring of the knowledge modules has been particularly useful as I can streamline the agents to only report on critical events."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"The most valuable feature of DX Performance Management is the quick way we can collect data without putting much effort. They have a lot of customization and features with the solution internally and out of the box. We can discover the device, and start collecting information. For example, if the device is available, we can receive the CPU and memory utilization, and the interface optimization is simple and very fast to implement."
"It is the gathering of the whole performance data in our environment and our network environment, for us and our customers."
"Downloads and records are the most valuable features."
"You can create intelligent alerts so you have enough time to replace the router or interface before it's full. The same is applicable for CBQoS channels."
"The out-of-the-box dashboards are valuable, in terms of being able to visualize performance data in ways that we haven't in the past."
"It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled."
"The ability to quickly do drag and drop customized reports for dashboards."
"We're able to present data from multiple back-end collection sources into a single dashboard for the users. So they don't have to go to multiple locations to get data about a particular item, or device."
"In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."
"There is less computing power needed for scaling."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."
"The level of discovery-based configuration that lets us auto-configure the monitoring for various systems is a valuable feature."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"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."
"We were somewhat limited in TrueSight due to some of the RBAC controls not quite being what we wanted as far as delegating out administrative privileges for implementation. But because we were able to turn requests around pretty well, that burden wasn't too heavy."
"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"This solution's implementation process could be quicker. They could also optimize the hardware requirements."
"It needs role-based administration."
"Global synchronization errors. Sometimes it just doesn't finish in time due to the load."
"We would like to be capable of reporting network performance with a report strictly focused on the times outside business hours, which CA PM does not currently support. We have discontinued the use of the Business Hours Filtering until CA engineers are able to resolve or offer guidance."
"It would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers."
"Some of the individual report views, the way some of the columns sort, there's room for improvement in giving us more flexibility in being able to sort reports based, for example, on what columns the metrics fall under."
"When it goes through discovery, or whatever it is doing in the back-end that slows it down, sometimes we get some failures with it. "
"CA PM can be complex to build and configure. Creating the folders / groups / sites required establishing many rule sets."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"The product could be more secure and more stable."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"In terms of user-friendliness, large maps could be more interactive. We should be able to click on some areas and move some objects. It would make it simpler to see things while analyzing some dedicated parameters."
"It could be more stable."
"One of the things we don't like is that Zabbix has a license structure with a price that is high compared to the competition. It's very high, for example, compared to something like Microsoft Teams."
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
