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.
"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"It provides common administration, and a Single Sign-On Platform with RBAC, which eases the cross launch between multiple tools"
"I like the event management part."
"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."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"The fact that they have a very integrated relationship with Sentry Software, the Knowledge Module, is valuable... The richest feature for us is the number of Knowledge Modules that we can load into the product to add breadth of service to the customer. It enables us to move up the operational stack from hardware, to operating system, to application, and to cloud... That enables us to provide one pane of glass over all those layers - hardware, OS, app, and cloud."
"Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"With Instana, the interface and the UI are very simple to use."
"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."
"Its GUI is really good and it easy to understand for non-technical users."
"It's great for monitoring services and applications."
"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."
"Instana is very fast to implement and deploy because the dashboards are automated and don't need configuration."
"The most valuable feature of Instana Dynamic APM is auto-instrumentation."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"There are some small limitations with this tool in terms of reporting dashboards that fit all of the requirements of the individual customer."
"Specifically around application performance monitoring, BMC is definitely not the market leader. The Dynatraces, the New Relics and the like are more of the market leaders in that space. I would like to see them grow that space a little bit more aggressively. It has not really been their bread and butter."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"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."
"The pricing could be better."
"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."
"New Relic has a better UI in terms of how it presents the data."
"They could improve the product’s dashboards and provide more dashboard options."
"The App Connect middleware does not integrate with or show corresponding sub nodes."
"The integration could be improved with more plugins or open API."
"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."
"Maybe log monitoring could be better."
"The configuration of Instana Dynamic APM needs improvement because it requires quite a bit of work."
"While it is already quite good, there is room for improvement in terms of providing better functionality"
