We performed a comparison between BMC Helix Monitor and BMC TrueSight Operations Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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."
"It is evolving more and more into artificial intelligence."
"The service operations monitoring features are valuable."
"We can verify uptimes as another source of keeping devices in compliance."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"I like the event management part."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"The solution has a very good business event manager tool."
"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
"It provides common administration, and a Single Sign-On Platform with RBAC, which eases the cross launch between multiple tools"
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
"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 product must provide more AI capabilities."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"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."
"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."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"There are some small limitations with this tool in terms of reporting dashboards that fit all of the requirements of the individual customer."
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"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."
