We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Instana Dynamic APM based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Instana Dynamic APM is favored over BMC TrueSight Operations Management due to its real-time monitoring, user-friendly GUI, and great monitoring dashboards. Its setup is fast and easy, and pricing is reasonable. BMC TrueSight Operations Management has more features but needs improvement in application and cloud monitoring, reporting dashboards, and customer support.
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is the dashboard presentation server."
"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."
"We can verify uptimes as another source of keeping devices in compliance."
"It provides common administration, and a Single Sign-On Platform with RBAC, which eases the cross launch between multiple tools"
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"The most valuable features of BMC TrueSight Operations Management are the blackouts and event management."
"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"Its GUI is really good and it easy to understand for non-technical users."
"It is a stable solution."
"The overall capabilities are the most valuable."
"Sometimes it's able to provide a proper RCA on its own. It's able to correlate different events that occurred and that becomes like an RCA in itself."
"The primary selling point of this product is its unparalleled transparency into the infrastructure."
"It's great for monitoring services and applications."
"With auto-discovery, we didn't need to consider much. We just installed the agent on the host and it was able to detect everything from the host level up to the service level, for whatever stack was installed, and that includes containers and dockers."
"The most valuable feature of Instana Dynamic APM is auto-instrumentation."
"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."
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"The solution could improve its price."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"The one piece that I would love to see is a general-purpose, configurable agent which would be a framework that you can deploy on anything, whether it be Java or anything else. It would allow you to easily deploy it on a platform that they support."
"The pricing could be better."
"New Relic has a better UI in terms of how it presents the data."
"The configuration of Instana Dynamic APM needs improvement because it requires quite a bit of work."
"The integration could be improved with more plugins or open API."
"Many managers, as well as our customers, used to ask for reports, such as "top X number of queries that are slow," or "top pages that have the highest number of issues." This is something that can be improved by Instana. Currently, they don't have that kind of reporting available out-of-the-box."
"Its SLI and SLA features need improvement in setting up alerts."
"While it is already quite good, there is room for improvement in terms of providing better functionality"
"They could improve the product’s dashboards and provide more dashboard options."
"We should be able to go back to scenarios during or before the issue. There should be something like a history playback. Such a feature or functionality would be good."
