We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Broadcom DX Application Performance Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: BMC TrueSight Operations Management offers advanced features such as proactive monitoring, an event management tool, and Helix Innovation Studio, in addition to a consolidated dashboard, making it the preferred solution. Although Broadcom DX is easy to deploy and offers code-level visibility, it lacks integration between tools, has performance issues, and needs improvement in support and compatibility. BMC TrueSight Operations Management also has a transparent licensing model, unlike Broadcom DX, which has a monthly licensing fee that some users find expensive.
"The ability of this platform to monitor the very diverse assets that we maintain around the world is its most valuable feature... We support a vast array of manufacturers' equipment, like HP, IBM, Cisco, Dell, EMC, Hitachi... We can do it all with [this] one [solution]."
"The solution's event management capabilities are fantastic. We do a best of breed. If, on the network side, they use a different tool, we pull all that data in so that we have a single console. It's kind of like the monitor of monitors. We're able to aggregate all the different types of data sets, whether it's log data, app data, OS data, infrastructure data, or network data. We're able to aggregate all those events and then correlate and be able to say we're having an event."
"I like the event management part."
"It is a very stable product."
"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"The most valuable features of the solution are alert management, alert generation, and event management."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We understand for APM, it has the ability to drill down and do the end-to-end monitoring that we are looking for."
"For the most part, we run constantly without any issue at this point because of APM."
"I have found Broadcom DX Application Performance Management to be scalable."
"Some of its valuable features include transaction traces, dashboards, and metric grouping to see combined data."
"The way these tools show the information is very useful. this is a tool that records information from Java and .NET applications, and obtain information about how many times an method has been call in a period of time (usually 30 sec), how many times respond in this span of time or is delayed or stall."
"Our development cycle has definitely improved as far as the turnaround time on fixes and improvements."
"If we see something that we need to change or monitor, we can get it scripted pretty quickly."
"We are using the on-premise and cloud versions of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"The pricing could be better."
"It's too complex, too many servers are required, there are too many different components in the solution, and a lot of agents are required."
"We have a unique use case because BMC typically sells this solution into enterprises that are deploying it within their IT, versus to a managed services provider like us where we're supporting thousands of customers. Multi-tenancy and the scalability have been challenges along the way, as we've grown... If anything could have gone better as we were ramping this up and adding a lot of volume to it, I would say it's the scalability. That would be one thing that could be improved."
"The stability of BMC TrueSight Operations Management needs improvement. My organization's infrastructure is vast and implemented based on BMC recommendations, but the solution needs to be optimized for large-capacity infrastructure."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"The solution is overly complex."
"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."
"Lacks some integration between all the tools."
"The upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
"As applications move to the cloud, we need more cloud-based solutions from CA APM. This is currently unavailable."
"It doesn't have a proper database, and the configuration is very difficult."
"The following need improvement: 1) Integration of third-party content into app maps (e.g. data coming from beats/elastic platform). 2) Support of new application server technologies, time to adopt new versions of them. 3) Dashboarding capabilities (as with all other vendors). 4) Application architecture of the central Enterprise Manager should be developed into a cloud native architecture. 5) Mitigation of SPOF – PostgreSQL database, behind Team Center."
"I would like them provide more guidance on specific tuning of monitoring options to avoid unacceptable overhead."
"With respect to SQL monitoring, it would be nice to have a little more information because it doesn't provide the full statement all of the time."
"There is no auto flow diagram, and the alert mechanism is not as good when compared to other tools."
