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.
Michael Wenn - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides strong event correlation features, but its initial setup should be made easier
The solution's integrations are out of the box, and it is easy to integrate the tool with many technologies through its APIs. Moogsoft is always deployed on the cloud. Since it's a SaaS-based solution, it's cloud-delivered but also deploys to a hybrid or on-premises situation. The solution attaches itself to any environment size, but it's delivered via SaaS. The solution has room for improvement, but it's a pretty good technology. It does very well in delivering a big impact for businesses. Now, since it's owned by Dell and has the financial backing, it'll go from strength to strength. It's built by two very experienced co-founders who have used this type of technology before and were very much ahead of the curve. I'm still implementing the solution, and it is a platform that can deliver to something as big as HSBC. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the deep-dive detail and end-user metrics data. The synthetic monitor is the best one. The best point of the new one is that there's no need for configuration. You can inject the Java script and start to change major developments in the application. This is a good approach, and we received all the data using this."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"I believe that the ease of use and UI is great"
"It is a very stable product."
"The solution's event management capabilities are fantastic. We do a best of breed. If, on the network side, they use a different tool, we pull all that data in so that we have a single console. It's kind of like the monitor of monitors. We're able to aggregate all the different types of data sets, whether it's log data, app data, OS data, infrastructure data, or network data. We're able to aggregate all those events and then correlate and be able to say we're having an event."
"It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
"The initial setup of BMC TrueSight Operations Management was easy."
"Incident management is streamlined with Moogsoft. One standout feature is its unique situation-creation capability, differentiating it from other fault management tools. While other tools typically convert alarms directly into tickets or incidents, Moogsoft adds a middle layer where multiple alarms can be aggregated into one incident. Moogsoft's strong AI capabilities also allow it to correlate similar alarms automatically based on past experiences."
"The product currently seems to be a few steps ahead of the competition."
"Moogsoft is easily deployable and ready to use."
"The Event Management feature is quite valuable."
"The tool's event correlation and AI are its strongest parts."
"I like the prediction features."
"Moogsoft AIOps integrates seamlessly with 50-plus IT monitoring, automation, service management, notification, and collaboration tools. It also provides a great and easy-to-use interface for observing."
"There are AI features in Moogsoft. Moogsoft has one wonderful feature that allows you to convert multiple alarms into situations. Generally, all other MoM tools get the alarms, and then convert it into an incident directly. There is one extra layer they have added before converting any alarm into an incident. Suppose there are multiple alarms that are somehow all related to a single source of issue. It converts all the alarms into a single situation, which then gets converted into an incident."
 

Cons

"BMC's online documentation is often incorrect or incomplete."
"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."
"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"The dashboards are not good. We have a limited dashboard, and if we want better dashboards, we need to use other solutions like Grafana because the TrueSight dashboards are not good."
"The solution could improve its price."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"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."
"The solution's initial setup is complex, and it should be made easier."
"They should consider including Chatbot."
"The product roadmap doesn't align with our roadmap."
"Moogsoft is dependent on external products to do orchestration and SOP-based functionality."
"They are very much dependent on open-source technologies like RabbitMQ message bus. They are using open-source databases, Apache Tomcat, NGINX. If we face any issues with Apache Tomcat or the RabbitMQ message bus, then we do not get support from them. We have to troubleshoot it ourselves."
"The unsupervised learning algorithms in Moogsoft are valuable, but the learning processes, run book creation, and neural feedback areas could be improved."
"I would like to see additional reports or information on the dashboard that includes metrics about CPU usage and memory."
"The documentation and flexibility for generic integration could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is moderately expensive."
"They have changed the licensing fees."
"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."
"We pay license fees of between $150 and $200 per asset. There is an enterprise software license fee, and then you pay a percentage for your maintenance, and then Premier Support. For example, if you buy a two-year license for the product, then the maintenance fee is added to that for two years at X percent a year. Then there's a small fee on top of that for Premier Support..."
"Annual licensing amount depends on the customers requirements. Support is an additional fee and there are options for three and five year support."
"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."
"Though I have no clue about the tool's actual price, I know that it is astronomical."
"Pricing is very high."
"The solution is very good from a business impact point of view, but it's quite expensive because it's an enterprise-grade solution."
"When compared to other solutions, it is quite good."
"It's a very cost-effective and competitive product."
"As for pricing, Moogsoft recently updated their pricing model, and we're still evaluating it. It's an area where clarity is needed with the new alert-based pricing model."
"Moogsoft's licensing is consumption-based, so the price may increase depending on the environment."
