We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Cisco UCS Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is the dashboard presentation server."
"Its event management capabilities are very open and flexible. I haven't seen a use case scenario with a customer that we couldn't actually solve the problem for, so it's really good. There are some interesting things that happen in an enterprise network (things that people don't normally expect), and the event management product is very flexible. You can solve problems as far as your imagination can go with it."
"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."
"We can verify uptimes as another source of keeping devices in compliance."
"It is a very stable product."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"It is a stable solution."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management is easily scalable."
"The most valuable features are flexibility and management."
"Cisco UCS has different layers of security, and you can do multiple installations of your LIAMs on top of the server and Blade. You can install VMware, Windows Server, Hyper-V, etc."
"The management is one of the most valuable features of this solution."
"Ease of management is certainly the most valuable feature in this product."
"The interface is ergonomic and native. We can use UCS Manager to do all the configurations for the servers, including storage, networking, and all the other components we need inside the fabric. It's simple and flexible."
"I can deploy something in my 50-odd servers all in one go, in parallel, whereas if I was to do that individually, it could be a nightmare."
"I can quickly manage the provisioned servers."
"The flexibility and the ease in which the features can be expanded are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"One of the things that the TrueSight environment is missing is some of the HA abilities. The data collection server called the ISM doesn't really have the HA functionality or workload balancing. It was missing from the previous product as well. It's missing redundancy."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"BMC's online documentation is often incorrect or incomplete."
"I would like to see a little more out-of-the-box event correlation and expanded AIOps type capabilities. Where you can train your artificial intelligence operations to be able to memorize an issue once you encounter one scenario, so if you encounter that same problem, you can get to the root cause very quickly."
"I definitely would like to see more improvement in the self-diagnostics. I need to know when anything is not working or collecting, long before our customer finds it."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"The solution's pricing is high and could be reduced."
"We have three data centers and if we could manage all three data centers using one interface, it would be great."
"What's lacking in Cisco UCS Manager is the performance dashboard. If a blade has any performance issues, you should be able to create a dashboard on Cisco UCS Manager. Currently, this feature isn't present."
"Getting a CLI report on routers, switches, or any other CLI configuration device is difficult."
"The interface and the way it is constructed is very complex. They should work to simplify it. It's quite difficult for somebody who doesn't know the product very well. Users should be able to get proficient with it faster. There's definitely room for improvement there."
"There is room for improvement in the software part of Cisco UCS Manager. It should be more user-friendly, especially when creating policies."
"I found it a bit of a challenge to get training on UCSM. I've been trying to get that for some time now. I feel like I have to figure it out a lot of things myself. For years I've to log calls with support whenever I've got challenges that I cannot resolve. If I had some training or more manuals, I'd be better able to handle more things on my own."
"I would like to see Cisco UCS optionally work as a hyper-converged system because right now, it only operates as a converged system."
