An orchestration tool to automate the end-to-end process with a need to improve its user experience

We are using it for orchestration purposes. While orchestration, what I need is that if you want to automate an end-to-end process, it may process lots of automation. For orchestration, we perform a server solution from platforms. We perform the post-provision activities by using orchestration…

Able to access server info and file systems directly through TSSA but system can be sluggish

Resource management on the base servers could be improved. We're using a site that's supposed to cover all of our affiliates. I don't know what is causing the problem but we've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching. I find the solution to be rather cumbersome. It's supposed to be able to support 50,000 or 100,000 servers. We only have 5,000 servers and during our patch processes, it gets very sluggish. We wanted to automate our patching, and not be stuck monitoring patches for three-quarters of every month. We have a main site and then multiple repeaters at each of the affiliate locations. Theoretically, patches are supposed to be delivered to the repeaters and your affiliates are supposed to pull the patches from those repeaters. We've noticed that doesn't always work and it pulls transfer patches from the main site rather than going to the repeater. TrueSight brought some standardization across the affiliates, however, it has also increased workloads and has made some things more complex. The requirement to have a local account with no password (password is random in TSSA, but not able to be changed through Windows) has caused some grief with our security team, and many complaints across affiliates. There are several features that appear to be very good but they don't always work as expected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has a very good triggering mechanism."

"This solution is scalable."

"I find the provisioning to be the most valuable."

"We can implement compliance standards with the solution. You can also do patching so that the environment is compliant and secure from external threats and hacking. We can provision multiple systems with the help of predefined templates that the organization has forwarded us. The solution’s users can also integrate multiple products which can be either BMC or non-BMC. There are numerous possibilities that can be done with server automation"

"The automation helps in payment transactions through BHIM app. The BMC helps in smooth clearance of all payments without using MasterCard or Visa. The solution is ready to use, and there is no need for customization or resources. We can complete integration over cloud and on-premise, and even using mainframes. The automation are secure through BMC TrueSight Orchestration."

"We particularly like the integration functionality of this solution. This product is open API, which means that it can be integrated with any solution from any other brand."

"The best thing about TrueSight is the user interface, which is intuitive and easy to use. It supports accessibility and exporting, so we can output to the format we require. We can use TrueSight to integrate nearly any other product. I can't think of another product that can match this functionality. We also have Microsoft Orchestrator, but it can't match BMC TrueSight Orchestration."

"The initial setup is easy. The deployment was done in an hour."

More BMC TrueSight Orchestration pros

"The solution is stable."

"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."

"With BMC, we even configured applications, like IE or things that were Java-related. When we scheduled the jobs, it worked fine. It saved us time and there was no need for resources to monitor them."

"The product's valuable feature is its ability to conduct patching for multiple servers simultaneously."

"It gives us more speed to deliver services and applications, and we rely on security."

"Among the most valuable features is its flexibility and ability to work across multiple operating systems. Being able to execute some form of data collection and not have to worry about whether I'm working on a Linux box, or a Windows box, or the underlying OS, I can do these collections, get these results, and put them together in a uniform format which makes it easier to present back to management."

"BladeLogic lets users view the filesystem with minimal authorization to the server."

"Server Automation's best feature is automated patching. It also helps us automate compliance and report generation. We can even integrate TrueSight Server Automation with a vulnerability management solution to remedy vulnerabilities by applying patches, deploying scripts, or changing registry entries."

More BMC TrueSight Server Automation pros

Cons

"The solution should move to the cloud. Every application from the BMC is on the container and moving to the cloud. There is also a number of limitations for the smart reporting feature of the TrueSight server which is not working in sync. We did not get any satisfactory reply from BMC on that note. We are not able to do the real-time sync between HSA and non-HSA service reporting tools and the actual application tools."

"At present this solution is only available to be hosted on-premises, which can cause network issues when integration with cloud-based software is attempted."

"The architecture of this solution needs improvement, it is very complicated. It creates a lot of problems in our environment. Most of the time I am trying to find and solve the problem."

"The solution is not user-friendly."

"Regarding scalability, the architecture does not allow you to add additional servers just able to use two application servers, so it's not scalable."

"BMC TrueSight Orchestration could improve by providing some visibility on how the workflows are progressing."

"BMC TrueSight Orchestration is difficult to understand. It's not very user-friendly."

"We are aiming for AI automation and look for support from BMC. The features are currently missing but we are hoping for some upgrade in this matter."

More BMC TrueSight Orchestration cons

"The architecture is big, so the initial setup is not a straightforward task."

"Another area for improvement is group scheduling if I'm trying to do all the servers. For example, if I want to do all the 2012 Servers - since the patches are the same for all of them - I can't do so."

"Resource management on the base servers is sluggish and could be improved."

"We would like to see this solution handle more multitasking."

"There is no option to see all the servers we patch and we cannot find what the server status is. Of course, we can what has been completed and what is pending and which servers have failed, but we cannot find server status from the BMC tool. For example, is the RDP up or not. We are using separate scripts for that."

"There is no other functionality available to patch the containers that we need to include."

"A better CLI Database cleanup tool would help us with our regular maintenance of BladeLogic Server Automation."

"Needs more use cases into compliance management and the remediation process."

More BMC TrueSight Server Automation cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding pricing, it comes with the package when you buy the server automation. But it's made depending on some agreements for companies, of which I don't know the clause."

"Licensing is per lot, or per agent — one agent is one license."

"Licensing is available in different ways and depends on data being consumed by users and nodes being operated."

"There is a huge cost saving with BMC TrueSight compared to other solutions."

"The product's pricing depends on the number of servers."

"The product is expensive."

"We're looking at less than $100,000 USD for this solution."

"Licensing is a bit pricey. Be mindful about the components that you need and buy as appropriate."

"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."
