Srri G - PeerSpot reviewer
The product is reasonably priced, but the solution is a little obsolete because it is deployed on-premise
If I want custom monitoring across a very large estate of more than 50,000 units, the on-premise deployment gets quite slow. The on-premise product’s performance must be improved. The solution is a little obsolete. That is why the solution moved to Helix, a SaaS operating system. The SaaS platform has the features I like. There is no point in BMC expanding TrueSight Operations’ console. It's high time that BMC starts a demise path for the product and is associated only with Helix. If we need any additional function, we must switch to Helix. Since TrueSight is deployed on-premise, the scalability and usage of the product are mainly focused on providing basic features and not enhanced features like analytics or cost analysis. People should move to a SaaS platform because on-premise products have limited storage and capacity.
Trevor Watkins - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO
I've been involved in various upgrades. It's pretty easy to set up with vCenter. We just push out an appliance template in vCenter. We run ours on virtual servers. Deployment can be done by just one person. The number of people needed for maintenance will depend on your server inventory. If you have more than 100 servers, you will need three to five people. If you have 500 to 1,000 servers, you will need a team of 10 to 20 people.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"The ability of this platform to monitor the very diverse assets that we maintain around the world is its most valuable feature... We support a vast array of manufacturers' equipment, like HP, IBM, Cisco, Dell, EMC, Hitachi... We can do it all with [this] one [solution]."
"It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
"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."
"The most valuable features of BMC TrueSight Operations Management are the blackouts and event management."
"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."
"It has provided us with a single location to host all events to be viewed/monitored by our NOC. This has greatly helped them to streamline their processes."
"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."
"The template management makes the deployment of the firmware updates much faster."
"We lose less time managing the machines."
"​It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. ​"
"Provides the strongest support for automation."
"Gives us one platform to monitor and access or configure all the servers or the 3PAR, etc."
"We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."
"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
 

Cons

"The pricing could be better."
"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."
"In our company, we faced some issues with the solution’s application endpoint, IP, and the physical location of the transactions."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"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."
"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
"​I have to chop it up into smaller parts, because I have an installation in Europe and it covers the whole world. That is not so good. They need to be more localized, so I am going to chop it up into smaller bits.​"
"​There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."
"It would be better if we can add every HPE device to OneView, such as MSA, as well as the other servers like the DL server and ML server."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"It needs more reporting capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Use conservative figures. In terms of hardware, monitored servers and also effort. The product is not cheap. But as with other products, you get what you pay for."
"Annual licensing amount depends on the customers requirements. Support is an additional fee and there are options for three and five year support."
"The tool is moderately expensive."
"Pricing is very high."
"The solution is based on endpoints and knowledge models which can be costly."
"Other products are more expensive than BMC TrueSight."
"It is a large, complex product. So, there is a commitment of manpower to deploy it, as it is not a cheap product."
"There is a big upfront cost when you buy the license, then there is annual maintenance. We look at, if I bought a license and paid for maintenance for five years, then average it out, what would be my monthly cost. We have had some of the competing tools come in around four dollars. This is coming in as a premium, which is why I don't have it deployed as I would like it. Therefore, we're in negotiations right now. If I can get it down to the four dollar range, I will triple my deployment in a year and a half."
"When it comes to the government, money is never an issue, so it was excellent in terms of the HPE OneView licensing cost. Hitachi was cheaper, but I'd rate HPE OneView cost-wise as eight out of ten."
"​Use it. It is free."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."
"HPE had some other solutions, but they were actually quite expensive to buy. So, when OneView came along, it was kind of reasonable in terms of price for licenses, etc."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"​I am happy with the price."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
