Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is evolving more and more into artificial intelligence."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that BMC Helix Monitor is an agentless tool, because of which you don't need to deploy agents on each and every system in your IT environment."
"The service operations monitoring features are valuable."
"I use the solution to monitor servers, databases, Windows, Linux, and web services."
"It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"Helix Innovation Studio is a very good feature. It allows us to develop our own enterprise applications and make them available for the customers."
"We can verify uptimes as another source of keeping devices in compliance."
"The product must provide more information and dashboards."
"The solution's GUI and some patching-related information are areas with shortcomings where enhancements are needed, though I believe they are areas that fall under BMC's roadmap for the future."
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"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."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"We were somewhat limited in TrueSight due to some of the RBAC controls not quite being what we wanted as far as delegating out administrative privileges for implementation. But because we were able to turn requests around pretty well, that burden wasn't too heavy."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"In a large company of our size, we need multiple people in our company trained. So, I have to take the training classes. Then, I have to go and train the rest of my organization. I would prefer to say to the other people on my team, "Go to this link and..." Or, "Here's a list of training sessions that you can go to which are online and that are free." I think it would help the adoption of their product in the marketplace, personally."
"I definitely would like to see more improvement in the self-diagnostics. I need to know when anything is not working or collecting, long before our customer finds it."
