We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) based on real PeerSpot user reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Google Cloud's operations suite is a more favorable option compared to BMC TrueSight Operations Management as it is more scalable, stable, and user-friendly. Users appreciate its cloud logging feature and the ability to access logs from various platforms. The technical support is highly regarded, and the setup process is straightforward. On the other hand, BMC TrueSight Operations Management needs improvement in several areas, including deeper application monitoring, better cloud monitoring, and more powerful reporting dashboards. Additionally, the pricing is a barrier for some customers.
"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."
"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
"It has provided us with a single location to host all events to be viewed/monitored by our NOC. This has greatly helped them to streamline their processes."
"We're using native monitoring capabilities for all our server hardware, for visibility for applications, for URLs, for webpage response and accuracy, and for monitoring network throughput in a lot of particular instances. We're using lightweight protocols for pinging, for DNS, for LDAP."
"Using the TrueSight platform we can monitor server performance and notify the customers using the integrated ticketing for events. We can let them know if there are any issues with a server, or application, or database."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"It's easy to use."
"Google's technical support is very good."
"I like the monitoring feature."
"The most valuable feature is the multi-cloud integration, where there is support for both GCP and AWS."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its graphs - if I need any statistics, in Kubernetes or Kong level or VPN level, I can quickly get the reports."
"Provides visibility into the performance uptime."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"The cloud login enables us to get our logs from the different platforms that we currently use."

"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."
"The graphs are extremely limited. We don't have a lot of dashboard options. To make reports and dashboards more useful, we usually need to integrate some dashboard solutions."
"The solution could improve its price."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"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."
"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 pricing could be better."
"The product must provide more AI capabilities."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."
"It could be more stable."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
