We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is helpful if you schedule daily or weekly archiving for your config groups. Then, you can go by what are in those configuration groups, before and after, if you make changes. So, configuration management is really helpful in network management.""The backup and restore configurations are really helpful for a number of network devices, as you can automate them, then know what changes have been done, who made the changes, etc. So, it's quite helpful in the network management area.""It has the best automation features.""The network security of BMC TrueSight Network Automation has been the best feature.""The log audit and historical configurations are the most valuable feature.""The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Network Automation is compliance management, configuration backup, and configuration management.""This product has helped us because we can now do many tasks at once. Rather than copy one file to one device, we can do an entire group at one time.""Depending on who's looking at the data, they need to configure that data in different ways, and the dashboards help us to do that better than what was previously available."

"Scalable solution for tracking and syncing through the Infoblox grid."

Cons
"I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology.""I would like to see more device supported features, mostly on the new brands and models coming in. For any new version or model, it should be supported by the tool, especially the newest versions. For example, the newest devices, like Aruba Wireless, and routers need support from the tool.""For customized compliance, it takes some effort to implement things. If the device configuration is quite complex, then you have to do quite number of customizations in the DNA tool for out-of-the-box compliance. These regular expressions have to be modified based on the requirements of the compliance.""There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool.""It is tedious to scale the solution.""We've been working with BMC support in various ways such as to allow for the high-availability components to the TSIMs to work together. There have been issues there. We've seen randomness in how other pieces of the software work. Integration with the Presentation Server and the TSIMs has been a challenge. The ports that are required for HA to be utilized were not clearly documented anywhere. In fact, they still aren't documented online anywhere, even though we managed to pull it out of some of their support people.""The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices.""I'd like to be able to get more devices into compliance with standards, but that means running additional rule sets and that takes time."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There's a fee for the licenses themselves, per contract, and then we have a yearly licensing fee that's many thousands of dollars. But that's not just for TrueSight, that's also for support for ITSM, Atrium Orchestrator, BBNA, and other BMC tools in the environment."
  • "The solution is worth the price."
  • "The solution is more costly than the other competitors."
