We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Orchestration and BMC TrueSight Server Automation based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, Appian and others in Process Automation."I find the provisioning to be the most valuable."
"The initial setup is easy. The deployment was done in an hour."
"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 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."
"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."
"This solution is scalable."
"The best feature of BMC TrueSight Orchestration is the number of integrated mechanisms it provides."
"The product has a very good triggering mechanism."
"With BMC, we even configured applications, like IE or things that were Java-related. When we scheduled the jobs, it worked fine. It saved us time and there was no need for resources to monitor them."
"The product's valuable feature is its ability to conduct patching for multiple servers simultaneously."
"It makes deployment easier and allows us to put restrictions on the server using role-based authorization."
"The best feature of the solution is patch automation."
"As this solution provides strong support and has multiple use cases, it is worth the cost."
"Server Automation's best feature is automated patching. It also helps us automate compliance and report generation. We can even integrate TrueSight Server Automation with a vulnerability management solution to remedy vulnerabilities by applying patches, deploying scripts, or changing registry entries."
"BladeLogic lets users view the filesystem with minimal authorization to the server."
"The ability to script and create BL packages to perform various functions. This makes automating our environment relatively easy to do."
"Regarding scalability, the architecture does not allow you to add additional servers just able to use two application servers, so it's not scalable."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"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."
"BMC TrueSight Orchestration could improve by providing some visibility on how the workflows are progressing."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Another area for improvement is group scheduling if I'm trying to do all the servers. For example, if I want to do all the 2012 Servers - since the patches are the same for all of them - I can't do so."
"Resource management on the base servers is sluggish and could be improved."
"Scaling the environment during setup at larger organizations with 10,000 employees gets complicated."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"We encountered some reporting issues. Also, we needed to gather information from the backend before the product execution. The output's format is not good."
"I would like to see more container integration in the next release of this solution."
"BMC TrueSight Server Automation's scripting needs improvement."
"Without any knowledge of the product, we used the KB articles to start working. As a result, we definitely did not have full knowledge of BMC BladeLogic... They need to provide a minimum of knowledge with training on YouTube or somewhere else."
