Depending on who's looking at the data, they need to configure that data in different ways, and the dashboards help us to do that better than what was previously available.

The backup and restore configurations are really helpful for a number of network devices, as you can automate them, then know what changes have been done, who made the changes, etc. So, it's quite helpful in the network management area.

We use it to back up configurations so the configuration management is valuable for us.

This product has helped us because we can now do many tasks at once. Rather than copy one file to one device, we can do an entire group at one time.

BMC TrueSight Network Automation Cons review quotes

Jun 26, 2019
We've been working with BMC support in various ways such as to allow for the high-availability components to the TSIMs to work together. There have been issues there. We've seen randomness in how other pieces of the software work. Integration with the Presentation Server and the TSIMs has been a challenge. The ports that are required for HA to be utilized were not clearly documented anywhere. In fact, they still aren't documented online anywhere, even though we managed to pull it out of some of their support people.

I would like to see more device supported features, mostly on the new brands and models coming in. For any new version or model, it should be supported by the tool, especially the newest versions. For example, the newest devices, like Aruba Wireless, and routers need support from the tool.

I'd like to be able to get more devices into compliance with standards, but that means running additional rule sets and that takes time.
