We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Splunk ITSI is the favored option over BMC TrueSight Operations Management due to its seamless integration with DLP and automated dashboarding and reporting. The product allows users to create automatons that run when alerts are triggered. Although considered pricey, Splunk ITSI delivers a positive ROI by reducing data report costs for organizations.
"The event management part of TrueSight Operations Management, in my experience, is probably the best in the market. You have endless flexibility. You can build your own rules, you have the MRL language, and you can implement any kind of logic on the alerts. It may be correlation, abstraction, or executing something as a result of the alerts. You have almost the whole range of options available for event management using the available customization."
"The most beneficial part of the product in terms of IT monitoring revolves around the areas involving automation, and it also serves as an end-to-end event management and incident management tool."
"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"We have one application, which is fairly large. In the past, we had Level 1 and 2 NOC support teams who were responsible for watching dashboards. When they saw an issue in the application, they would call Level 2 or 3 support and escalate the call, if necessary. Now, through the use of this product, we have been able to reduce the headcount by five people, as we are able to eliminate the eyes on the glass. We no longer have people watching the dashboard. We have events which are processed automatically through the system and get to the right people. We had six people in L1s, and now have one. So, we reduced five out of six headcount, which is pretty significant."
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"It is a very stable product."
"The most valuable features of BMC TrueSight Operations Management are the blackouts and event management."
"ITSI includes a feature called a glass table."
"The most valuable features are the agility, being able to ingest many data sources with no limitation on capacity."
"ITSI's most valuable feature is that it's easy to integrate DLP."
"We save substantial time on monitoring tasks because we don't have to search for what we need. Everything is packed, so you can drill down to the end values by just doing the kit. We don't spend a lot of time on this. Splunk ITSI is easy to use and not time-consuming."
"The feature that stood out to me most from Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) was automated dashboarding or reporting. The solution lists the severity level of issues, and the response times."
"The glass tables are very helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the Glass Tables. It gives you a nice, good overview of your KPIs. It's really slick and clean."
"One of the excellent features is the service analyzer, which is truly impressive."
"BMC's online documentation is often incorrect or incomplete."
"Reporting would be an area for improvement in TrueSight... We have almost 800 customers today on TrueSight and just under 10,000 assets. We need to be able to give a customer some information. If the customer's product fails, they'll ask us, "Did it have a problem beforehand?" We have all those events and we know all the problems it had beforehand. We have to be able to give them access to that kind of reporting. That's an enhancement that we need."
"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."
"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."
"There are some small limitations with this tool in terms of reporting dashboards that fit all of the requirements of the individual customer."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"The end-to-end visibility in Splunk ITSI is limited and has room for improvement."
"Predictive analytics, in terms of preventing incidents before they occur, still needs time to mature."
"Quality-of-life features have room for improvement."
"We also faced challenges relating to UI development."
"If the product had some prebuilt machine learning features, it would add value to our use cases."
"We experience occasional delays in receiving solutions from Splunk technical support. Splunk's support for P3 cases seems inadequate, as they frequently switch support personnel. For instance, in a single P3 case, we had three different technical support representatives assigned. We were ultimately forced to escalate the issue to our account manager to get it resolved. In essence, we never receive complete support from a single point of contact; instead, the support team keeps changing, necessitating us to explain the problem from scratch each time."
"Splunk ITSI generates numerous false positives and has the potential for enhancement."
"The data recovery has room for improvement."
