We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and BMC TrueSight Operations Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Azure Monitor is the preferred option due to its ease of setup, low-cost pricing, and integration with other Microsoft technologies. It also provides a more convenient and efficient solution for developers by offering a one-stop place to monitor all cloud resources across multiple subscriptions in one dashboard. BMC TrueSight Operations Management has valuable features, but needs improvement in areas such as cloud monitoring, reporting dashboards, and pricing.
"I am monitoring all of my Azure Monitor and getting good reports. I can customize the reports to get the information I need. I am also getting emails about which AAS instances are down and everything in the system related to my services. It is easy to use, scalable, and user-friendly. Microsoft has Many guides and videos to help you understand how to create and use Azure Monitor."
"Azure Monitor gives us the observability to check everything that we have in the cloud."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the alert system, which can be set according to our metrics. The integration is smooth."
"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"The dashboard allows us to easily track various metrics and quickly understand the overall health of our system."
"The most valuable feature is that it ensures our servers are up."
"For me, the best feature is the log analysis with Azure Monitor's Log Analytics. Without being able to analyze the logs of all the activities that affect the performance of a machine, your monitoring effectiveness will be severely limited."
"Azure Monitor is useful because of the useful application insights and telemetry, such as metrics and logs."
"The most valuable features of the solution are alert management, alert generation, and event management."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The noise reduction for ticketing works much better than we have seen in a lot of other companies."
"I like the event management part."
"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."
"What I like best about BMC TrueSight Operations Management is that it allows you to do granular monitoring and improves VM load."
"Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"The solution provides visibility to our infrastructure, how it is, the resources we are monitoring, and quick updates when it has any problems. We have integrated it with ServiceNow to open instances."
"I would like more transparency when we use the solution with another environment, like on-premises, or on another cloud environment, like AWS or GCP."
"The solution needs better monitoring. It requires better log controls."
"I'd like the solution to do more around vulnerability assessment. It's lacking in the product right now."
"It might not have all of the capabilities we will need."
"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"The solution's monitoring feature has limitations for analyzing multiple metrics."
"Enhancing and reaching a level of detail that facilitates pinpointing and addressing issues at such a refined level within the application and database components would be helpful."
"Azure Monitor is not user-friendly, and the interface is not exciting. Switching between the dashboards is not easy."
"The dashboards are not good. We have a limited dashboard, and if we want better dashboards, we need to use other solutions like Grafana because the TrueSight dashboards are not good."
"The pricing could be better."
"The solution could improve its price."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"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."
"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."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
