We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Network Automation and VMware NSX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is helpful if you schedule daily or weekly archiving for your config groups. Then, you can go by what are in those configuration groups, before and after, if you make changes. So, configuration management is really helpful in network management."
"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."
"The log audit and historical configurations are the most valuable feature."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Network Automation is compliance management, configuration backup, and configuration management."
"It has the best automation features."
"The network security of BMC TrueSight Network Automation has been the best feature."
"The Distributed firewall is simple to add to the network and rules are easy to implement."
"I am impressed with the tool's protection."
"NSX can reduce costs and has good service. It is easy for you and your users to use."
"It's very important for them to have small footprints and have as much services in their servers, as possible."
"Has a great firewall."
"The ability to scale from different clouds. At the moment, the scalability of the product is the number one thing that I saw."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and user interface."
"The firewall is its most valuable feature."
"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."
"It is tedious to scale the solution."
"There could be automated processes to retrieve the CVS and create a compliance tool."
"The product should be expanded to include more hardware, beyond Cisco and Juniper devices."
"BMC TrueSight Network Automation can improve by having a better UI. The overall quality of the UI could be better."
"I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology."
"They need to have a single sign-on."
"For customized compliance, it takes some effort to implement things. If the device configuration is quite complex, then you have to do quite number of customizations in the DNA tool for out-of-the-box compliance. These regular expressions have to be modified based on the requirements of the compliance."
"I think that one of the more important things to see better integrated into the NSX product would be an IDS/IPS type solution."
"The setup of the solution could be simplified."
"It's a good product, but the way that it has got so many multiple levels that need to be purchased makes it expensive and cumbersome."
"The training costs a minimum of $3,000, which is expensive and should be reduced."
"There are sometimes mismatch in the control, the details and what you actually see on the transport note."
"Its licensing model could be VM based."
"It lacks full knowledge of physical side of the network topology."
"One aspect that needs improvement is the need for further automation."
