We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Dynatrace based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Dynatrace has a user-friendly interface, easy deployment, good scalability, AI capabilities for incident alert automation, and offers a Kubernetes module for topology visualization. Even though the solution is expensive compared to competitors, it provides good value for its cost and is a great choice for companies seeking a user-friendly and scalable solution.
"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."
"From an administrative standpoint, what stands out in TrueSight is the ability to implement quickly. When they have a requirement to monitor something, we're able to turn that on quickly in their environment. We're able to set up new apps within a day."
"The event management tool builds correlation logic and protection algorithms into a field of events that is valuable when a data center goes down."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"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."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"Developers love the tool, because it is easy to use. They can immediately see how their code behaves."
"PurePaths. The ability to see the transaction flow of the web request. It's valuable because our developers, when we have an issue, they can drill down to see exactly where in the application, the call in the application; where the high response time is, or where something is wrong."
"From a diagnosing standpoint, it has been a game changer. Before, we did not have monitoring, so anytime there was an issue, it was just guess-and-check."
"OneAgent, the new platform of Dynatrace, it is called artificial intelligence (AI), so basically that artificial intelligence correlates multiple infrastructure competence transactions services and application processes. It is one of the most important features, so when there is a fire break, you do not have to go multiple hops to go look where exactly the issue is."
"We spend less time investing in problems. We can spend more time on developing new projects."
"I am able to customize my dashboard based on the test requirement and it helps me to focus on the area that really needs close monitoring."
"The way it shows a problem on the dashboard is pretty good."
"Dynatrace Appmon provides us with the ability to proactively identify issues within our systems which could be impacting our customers."
"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"Reporting would be an area for improvement in TrueSight... We have almost 800 customers today on TrueSight and just under 10,000 assets. We need to be able to give a customer some information. If the customer's product fails, they'll ask us, "Did it have a problem beforehand?" We have all those events and we know all the problems it had beforehand. We have to be able to give them access to that kind of reporting. That's an enhancement that we need."
"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"The graphs are extremely limited. We don't have a lot of dashboard options. To make reports and dashboards more useful, we usually need to integrate some dashboard solutions."
"I would like to see a little more out-of-the-box event correlation and expanded AIOps type capabilities. Where you can train your artificial intelligence operations to be able to memorize an issue once you encounter one scenario, so if you encounter that same problem, you can get to the root cause very quickly."
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"It needs improvement with proprietary protocols for the DC RUM part."
"I'd really like to see more dashboarding abilities. The ability to do workflows within dashboards, being able to start at a high level and click into it with custom dashboards. I think most of the time, we are creating our own custom dashboards, and I'd just like to see more ability with that."
"The container platform could include more value-added features."
"If you have many distributed servers, you will need to install or migrate every agent. This can be a problem if you have too many, and it takes time."
"We have had problems with our middle layer application implementation."
"Need better mapping to true business service rather than purely technical monitoring."
"Infrastructure monitoring could be improved."
"Where we are struggling is being able to pull that information out and combine it with other contextual information that we have in other sources. Mining that data in a big-data environment, and joining it together and coming up with larger types of analysis on it."
