We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts.""Helix Innovation Studio is a very good feature. It allows us to develop our own enterprise applications and make them available for the customers.""I like the deep-dive detail and end-user metrics data. The synthetic monitor is the best one. The best point of the new one is that there's no need for configuration. You can inject the Java script and start to change major developments in the application. This is a good approach, and we received all the data using this.""Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale.""What I like best about BMC TrueSight Operations Management is that it allows you to do granular monitoring and improves VM load.""The event management tool builds correlation logic and protection algorithms into a field of events that is valuable when a data center goes down.""The most valuable features of the solution are alert management, alert generation, and event management."

"We can add some add-ons and plugins to the product if we need to.""The most valuable features of the Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE) are its simplicity and efficiency during the initial cluster creation phase.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The solution is easy to manage. You can get everything in a single platform. It is also easy to work with Terraform as a code.""The product integrates well with our infrastructure.""We can do a lot of provisioning.""The technical support is excellent.""The solution is embedded in the hypervisor and there are no deployment costs."

Cons
"The sizing (which is difficult), the maintenance of it and the upgrade paths. This is a difficult area which is not easy to cover, as every client has a different approach of implementing the product.""I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier.""The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports.""BMC's online documentation is often incorrect or incomplete.""The solution's support service could be better.""There are some small limitations with this tool in terms of reporting dashboards that fit all of the requirements of the individual customer.""The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now.""BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."

More BMC TrueSight Operations Management Cons →

"I would like to have more nodes for availability and storage.""Areas for improvement in Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE) include upgrading management capabilities and enhancing the user interface for improved usability.""There have been challenges related to software bugs, especially regarding long-term licensing options and issues within our customer network.""The product lacks some virtualization capabilities, making it an area for improvement where the solution can focus on providing users with more virtualization capabilities related to disk systems.""GUI lacks sufficient information to help with understanding the installation and process.""In the next release, I would like to have automatic dynamic scaling, both upscaling and downscaling.""I have issues with the product's interoperability.""We need a backup of production clusters."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Use conservative figures. In terms of hardware, monitored servers and also effort. The product is not cheap. But as with other products, you get what you pay for."
  • "The solutions are not the cheapest but are robust and stable. License model is rather complex and BMC do often change the model."
  • "Pricing is very high."
  • "We pay license fees of between $150 and $200 per asset. There is an enterprise software license fee, and then you pay a percentage for your maintenance, and then Premier Support. For example, if you buy a two-year license for the product, then the maintenance fee is added to that for two years at X percent a year. Then there's a small fee on top of that for Premier Support..."
  • "Pricing is all volume-driven. I think we were paying between $80 and $85 per license. That's per unit, for a perpetual license. You pay it one time and then, every year, you pay 20 percent of that for annual maintenance and support. But now that we've grown, we've purchased tens of thousands of licenses and the cost per license has gone down to something like less than $30..."
  • "It is a large, complex product. So, there is a commitment of manpower to deploy it, as it is not a cheap product."
  • "There is a big upfront cost when you buy the license, then there is annual maintenance. We look at, if I bought a license and paid for maintenance for five years, then average it out, what would be my monthly cost. We have had some of the competing tools come in around four dollars. This is coming in as a premium, which is why I don't have it deployed as I would like it. Therefore, we're in negotiations right now. If I can get it down to the four dollar range, I will triple my deployment in a year and a half."
  • "The only possible additional cost that I can mention, that you might not be aware of, is that it uses Oracle partitioning, if you use Oracle. There are Oracle partitioning fees that go with that."

  • "The product's licenses are included in the software version deployed in our data center."
  • "I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • "I rate NKE's pricing a six out of ten."
  • "The platform is averagely priced. I rate the pricing as four out of ten."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by BMC TrueSight Operations Management users.

    Mudassir A., Sr. Technical Consultant at a tech services company, says, "The event management part of TrueSight Operations Management, in my experience, is probably the best in the market. You have endless flexibility. You can build your own rules, you have the MRL language, and you can implement any kind of logic on the alerts. It may be correlation, abstraction, or executing something as a result of the alerts. You have almost the whole range of options available for event management using the available customization."

    A General Manager - Sales at a tech services company explains, “There are many features that are most valuable in BMC TrueSight Operations Management. First, its proactive monitoring feature is highly developed. BMC TrueSight Operations Management is an intelligent tool that's able to understand day-to-day operations and consistently gives alerts. The alerts are not automatic for some activities, e.g. some alerts are given monthly, while some are given more frequently. The consolidated dashboard where you can enjoy a single pane of glass to look at the full infrastructure from the servers to the VMs, to the clouds, to the application, to the database, to the network devices, including having a topology, and having a tendency map of the topology of key offerings, is also a valuable feature of this solution.”

    An Information Systems Computer System Controller at an insurance company states, “The business event manager tool that consolidates detailed information from a single instance of equipment is the most valuable thing for me. It provides support for the business tools and the IT services which come from several systems.”


    Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE) is an enterprise Kubernetes management solution that simplifies provisioning, operations, and lifecycle management of Kubernetes.
