Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."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."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management is easily scalable."
"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."
"The tool is flexible enough to be customized based on customer requirements."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is the dashboard presentation server."
"We can verify uptimes as another source of keeping devices in compliance."
"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools 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."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"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."
"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."
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"We have a unique use case because BMC typically sells this solution into enterprises that are deploying it within their IT, versus to a managed services provider like us where we're supporting thousands of customers. Multi-tenancy and the scalability have been challenges along the way, as we've grown... If anything could have gone better as we were ramping this up and adding a lot of volume to it, I would say it's the scalability. That would be one thing that could be improved."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"BMC's online documentation is often incorrect or incomplete."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"There are some metrics I'd like to track that are difficult to find or implement into a tracking solution without a lot of manual work."
"I want to see a new interface that contains HTML5 features. The current version of Foglight (on-premise edition) is so fusty in comparison with leaders of Gartner APM Quadrant - i.e. Appdynamics, NewRelic, Dynatrace."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
