Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 17, 2024

BMC TrueSight Orchestration and Camunda are two automation solutions competing in the field of IT and business process automation. Camunda appears to have the upper hand due to its cost-effectiveness and flexible workflow management capabilities, making it a more compelling choice for organizations looking for a balanced solution.

Ready to use, with no need for customization

We currently operate in a banking domain. It helps to take daily backups of database. The BMC TrueSight helps in following the Reserve Bank guidelines and scheduling the back up as necessary. The solution creates a back-up and re-evaluates all the necessary information, alarming us in case there is a set of missing information. In case the backup fails, it also has an error handling mechanism is present, sending real-time messages and alerts in the form of emails to responsible teams. We have minimized the L1 and L2 activities, currently allowing us to only deal with L3 activities. If there are any errors in terms of backup, the incident is directly raised to Level 3. This automation has helped us save about 5 million pounds. It is also capable of no-manual intervention, where onboarding can be done without any manual assistance. The GUI offered by this solution is currently not available in the market. Whenever the details of customers are entered in the GUI, the process is carried out smoothly in the background without any issues.

Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling

There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible. I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is scalable."

"The product has a very good triggering mechanism."

"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 best feature of BMC TrueSight Orchestration is the number of integrated mechanisms it provides."

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

"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 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."

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

More BMC TrueSight Orchestration pros

"Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure. It is more elaborate."

"We like the idea of working with Cawemo because it enables us to keep on working, remotely or not. It allows us to collaborate between areas. It's easy to model and easy to use"

"We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation."

"We can easily define and deploy business processes. Camunda provides the tools that allow business people to design business processes. We don't have to have developers for it. It is so easy to use that our business people can go into the tool and model their business processes. We get time to do other things than just designing business processes."

"The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."

"One reason we selected Camunda or Cloud/DB is that it comes with the support of the BPMN notation, which helps to define processes in a standard manner. Another reason was that Camunda Cloud, as the name says, is designed for a new cloud era."

"The product has a good task management engine."

"The modeler is useful for creating the flow. The way to access the data through their REST API is also valuable. This is what we're using right now."

Cons

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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 solution is not user-friendly."

"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."

More BMC TrueSight Orchestration cons

"I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java."

"In the future, I would like to see better transactional integrity."

"I don't like the UI of the Camunda Platform, I have found the Signavio solution to be much better for me to create the process designs and execute them. Additionally, I have found the tools in the Camunda Platform are not compatible with some of my other tools. They should improve this in the future."

"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."

"If they could build some scripts or some configuration to get it up and running in a Docker environment, that would be good. I didn't find anything when on Docker, however, maybe they have something and I didn't see it yet."

"The initial setup can be complex for business users."

"I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist."

"It would be better if the tool were made less reliant on Java."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"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."

"In Africa, the cost of deployment is an important factor to consider since it adds to the overall cost. This might be the only drawback to using it."

"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"

"We use a community version."

"The product's price depends on the number of processes that need to be automated or where the orchestration part needs to be used. The product is affordable for medium and large enterprises."

"While the license isn't budget-friendly, careful consideration and calculated planning for a significant number of licenses can make it more cost-effective."

"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."

"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."

"The price is competitive with products like Bonitasoft and RHPAM (Red Hat Process Automation Manager). We have two versions of Camunda. The first version was open source, without support, but then we got a supported version."
