Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The best thing about TrueSight is the user interface, which is intuitive and easy to use. It supports accessibility and exporting, so we can output to the format we require. We can use TrueSight to integrate nearly any other product. I can't think of another product that can match this functionality. We also have Microsoft Orchestrator, but it can't match BMC TrueSight Orchestration.""The automation helps in payment transactions through BHIM app. The BMC helps in smooth clearance of all payments without using MasterCard or Visa. The solution is ready to use, and there is no need for customization or resources. We can complete integration over cloud and on-premise, and even using mainframes. The automation are secure through BMC TrueSight Orchestration.""The initial setup is easy. The deployment was done in an hour.""The product has a very good triggering mechanism.""I find the provisioning to be the most valuable.""This solution is scalable.""We particularly like the integration functionality of this solution. This product is open API, which means that it can be integrated with any solution from any other brand.""The best feature of BMC TrueSight Orchestration is the number of integrated mechanisms it provides."

"The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point.""It's very easy to use. That's a big selling point for it. It has got a drag-and-drop interface, so you can quickly deploy bots.""This tool has machine learning and voice recognition and computer vision, which are both quite useful aspects. These aren't available in other tools. It's a good addition to this tool and it gives the solution an edge on the market.""We have tried other RPA solutions like UiPath or Automation Anywhere. They are fantastic products but complex, and it's hard to understand everything. It would be best if you had a skilled developer or several. Automate is easy to implement, administer, and use. It's appropriate for us because our cases are simple and easy to automate. We don't need complicated tools with many features; We prefer to get a significant ROI quickly.""The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard.""The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever.""The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive.""I find it very user-friendly. Our IT department and other departments can seamlessly collaborate without requiring extensive training. As a business department, we particularly value this aspect, as our team doesn't consist of many IT users. However, we couldn't solely rely on a drag-and-drop approach to implement and utilize the solution within our departments."

Cons
"The solution is not user-friendly.""We are aiming for AI automation and look for support from BMC. The features are currently missing but we are hoping for some upgrade in this matter.""BMC TrueSight Orchestration could improve by providing some visibility on how the workflows are progressing.""At present this solution is only available to be hosted on-premises, which can cause network issues when integration with cloud-based software is attempted.""The solution should move to the cloud. Every application from the BMC is on the container and moving to the cloud. There is also a number of limitations for the smart reporting feature of the TrueSight server which is not working in sync. We did not get any satisfactory reply from BMC on that note. We are not able to do the real-time sync between HSA and non-HSA service reporting tools and the actual application tools.""The architecture of this solution needs improvement, it is very complicated. It creates a lot of problems in our environment. Most of the time I am trying to find and solve the problem.""Regarding scalability, the architecture does not allow you to add additional servers just able to use two application servers, so it's not scalable.""It would be helpful if TrueSight could log errors in a better format. I would also like to see more connector support. Let's say I have a third-party vendor that I need to integrate with Ansible. It would be helpful if BMC announced a specific connector for that. I've encountered situations where I need to work with scripts or find another way to integrate a particular product with TrueSight Orchestration. BMC already supports many products. For example, we have a connector for Ansible, but I think it needs to be improved some."

More BMC TrueSight Orchestration Cons →

"We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal.""The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina.""The vendor is currently working on a solution that allows us to automatically create a process that is based on a document that we receive via email.""The solution has a very weak knowledge base.""They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance.""Sometimes when we communicate with the ERP system and there is an issue, we are not always aware of the specifics of Automate and the source of the problem.""The intelligent automation feature could be improved. It's interesting because it's simple, but the automation quality isn't always good. It's easy to use, but sometimes you need to make a slight improvement to the automation, and that's not so easy.""While this solution is continually improving, as it is now, the user interface could use improvement when I compare it to a product like UiPath."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Licensing is per lot, or per agent — one agent is one license."
  • "There is a huge cost saving with BMC TrueSight compared to other solutions."
  • "Regarding pricing, it comes with the package when you buy the server automation. But it's made depending on some agreements for companies, of which I don't know the clause."
  • "Licensing is available in different ways and depends on data being consumed by users and nodes being operated."
  • More BMC TrueSight Orchestration Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."
  • "I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."
  • "It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."
  • "While solutions like UiPath and Blue Prism cost around $11,000-$12,000 for each license, this product costs around $7,000 and you can keep it forever."
  • "I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
  • "The pricing is quite reasonable. We can run the process with one bot. The limitation is at the server level because they have some resources, and sometimes that is enough. It isn't too expensive, so you can get a good return off of one, and you can also have a pack of five bots that is quite competitive."
  • "From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."
  • "The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."
