We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and VMware Tanzu Observability by Wavefront based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: In comparing BMC TrueSight Operations Management to VMware Tanzu Observability by Wavefront, user reviews indicate that BMC TrueSight Operations Management is the preferred product due to its more comprehensive monitoring and event management tools, more flexible UI, and simpler initial setup. Despite both products having high price points, BMC TrueSight Operations Management is considered more affordable for companies of all sizes.
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are alert management, alert generation, and event management."
"I like the event management part."
"The tool is flexible enough to be customized based on customer requirements."
"Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
"No issues with stability."
"The solution is great for virtualization and preparing the infrastructure in Tanzu to test products. It's very fast and has good visibility."
"This solution allows me to have true visibility for any metrics when it comes to my cloud, and private."
"The features I find most valuable is the querying and alerting capabilities."
"People are very pleased with the implementation."
"VMware comes with a support team, and if you have trouble, you can easily create a ticket, and VMware will help you. Therefore, the best aspect is the support."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are its ease of use and its ease of implementation."
"For us, the ease of deployment in combination with TMZ was the most important part because we don't have to manually deploy a complex monitoring solution. We can more or less do that with the click of a button, and we are not dependent on the developers to provide us with all the necessary features and functions to make that work. We can just deploy it on a workload cluster and monitor at least a good part of the workload. If we want to go into detail, we clearly need to make changes, but for a good part of application monitoring, it gives us good insights."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"There are some small limitations with this tool in terms of reporting dashboards that fit all of the requirements of the individual customer."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."
"One of the things that the TrueSight environment is missing is some of the HA abilities. The data collection server called the ISM doesn't really have the HA functionality or workload balancing. It was missing from the previous product as well. It's missing redundancy."
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"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."
"The implementation is a long process that should be improved."
"In the new version, I would love to see more prediction capabilities. It would be great if one could see the alerts get a little more enriched with information and become more human-friendly instead of the technical stuff that they put in there. I think those would be really awesome outcomes to get."
"It could use a URL document server. Everything in the market is moving towards automation and everybody's looking for the single click operations as well relational data locality."
"I would like to see integration with Kubernetes cluster and APIs so that you can manage the entire stack."
"They could make it more easy to plug-in data so that a nontechnical person will be able to use it, like accountants or finance people. That way they don't have to ask us."
"Its billing model is consumption-based. I understand the consumption-based model, but it is not necessarily easy to estimate and guess how many points or how much we are going to consume on a specific application up until we get to that point. So, for us, it would be helpful to have more insights or predictability into what we can expect from a cost perspective if we are starting to use specific features. This can potentially also drive our consumption a bit more."
"The documentation and integration with Kubernetes could be improved."
"The main problem I have is that the license cost is very high."
