Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The initial setup was fairly easy."
"The event management part of TrueSight Operations Management, in my experience, is probably the best in the market. You have endless flexibility. You can build your own rules, you have the MRL language, and you can implement any kind of logic on the alerts. It may be correlation, abstraction, or executing something as a result of the alerts. You have almost the whole range of options available for event management using the available customization."
"It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
"I like everything about this tool. I recommend this solution to anyone looking for a standalone solution with high availability meaning that can be used depending on the customers requirements."
"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."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"The initial setup of BMC TrueSight Operations Management was easy."
"The CA tools allow to me to get into detailed transactions for custom ranking, and be able to make predictions. It also gathers data. Some other tools may be good at one area, but not good overall, including the mainframe."
"Crash analytics goes down to the level of code you need to check."
"Standard available reports provide us with an automatic insight into the top ten situations to watch. It would have been extremely difficult to program such a report ourselves, and to my knowledge no other competitor can match this functionality."
"Gives us the ability to know how our application is performing in real-time."
"We are using the on-premise and cloud versions of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management."
"An application is quite complicated in the environment of a software reliability engineer, because our applications are like a black box. Thanks to CA APM we are able to transform this black box to a gray box by using the transaction trace functionality services. For me it's the most valuable service of the solution."
"Attribute decoration is a unique and very powerful feature. We can add meaningful meta information based on our internal demand."
"This application pulls data in 15 seconds. You can imagine the enormous amount of data which streams through."
"There are certain aspects of the configuration that could be simplified a bit."
"Specifically around application performance monitoring, BMC is definitely not the market leader. The Dynatraces, the New Relics and the like are more of the market leaders in that space. I would like to see them grow that space a little bit more aggressively. It has not really been their bread and butter."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"The solution could improve its price."
"The solution is overly complex."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"Reporting would be an area for improvement in TrueSight... We have almost 800 customers today on TrueSight and just under 10,000 assets. We need to be able to give a customer some information. If the customer's product fails, they'll ask us, "Did it have a problem beforehand?" We have all those events and we know all the problems it had beforehand. We have to be able to give them access to that kind of reporting. That's an enhancement that we need."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"The front-end representation should match other competitors such as AppDynamics."
"You can sell licenses and install the full tool on service, you can show customers how to install, but how to use it and solve issues cannot be done without the experience."
"I think as we're all moving forward to automated deployments, it'd be nice to have that out-of-the-box with this product."
"The interface is getting a little old."
"A CA APM agent takes a lot of memory. That is one disadvantage. If you configure CA APM correctly it will still consume around 15 to 20 percent of memory."
"The reason it's not a ten is because they don't focus enough on improving over time like other competitors do who have a more modern and complete tool."
"It doesn't have a proper database, and the configuration is very difficult."
"System incident analysis and performance monitoring need improvement."
