Ilhami Arikan - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud Services Automation Technologies Manager at Garanti Teknoloji
An orchestration tool to automate the end-to-end process with a need to improve its user experience
In BMC TrueSight Orchestration, login is just text-based, so it's really hard to find the problem. We cannot see the ongoing running jobs or interfere with them on an interface. So it's unavailable. There are some restrictions about the permissions, especially the level of the permissions, even though there is not very much there. It's a little bit hard to use clients' development tools, so the user experience may be improved. There is room for improvement for the local team.

Has helped orchestrate processes and integrate workflows across cloud environments
I recommend ServiceNow Orchestration for larger companies because they have the capability to manage complex environments where it performs better. I promote low-code solutions for these implementations. I don't currently have an idea regarding the pre-built integrations of ServiceNow Orchestration, but I plan to check my area to determine what added value it can bring. I would rate this solution a nine overall.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 product has a very good triggering mechanism."
"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."
"This solution is scalable."
"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 best feature of BMC TrueSight Orchestration is the number of integrated mechanisms it provides."
"The initial setup is easy. The deployment was done in an hour."
"This solution is scalable."
"It's scalable."
"The solution effectively automates business processes."
"I use it to orchestrate processes and integration features to gather and update data during specified timeframes or exchange data in real-time when changes occur based on certain criteria."
"Employee onboarding, de-boarding, and other service-provision features make the process easier and it saves us a lot of time."
"I use it to orchestrate processes and integration features to gather and update data during specified timeframes or exchange data in real-time when changes occur based on certain criteria."
"This is a user-friendly solution where scripts can be made with ease, and there are many integration options, including Microsoft products, which gives the product a competitive edge."
"I would recommend ServiceNow Orchestration, and I consider it the best product in its domain in the market now."
"There are a lot of ready to use orchestration custom packs."
 

Cons

"BMC TrueSight Orchestration is difficult to understand. It's not very user-friendly."
"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."
"It would be helpful if TrueSight could log errors in a better format. I would also like to see more connector support. Let's say I have a third-party vendor that I need to integrate with Ansible. It would be helpful if BMC announced a specific connector for that. I've encountered situations where I need to work with scripts or find another way to integrate a particular product with TrueSight Orchestration. BMC already supports many products. For example, we have a connector for Ansible, but I think it needs to be improved some."
"Regarding scalability, the architecture does not allow you to add additional servers just able to use two application servers, so it's not scalable."
"The architecture of this solution needs improvement, it is very complicated."
"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."
"BMC TrueSight Orchestration could improve by providing some visibility on how the workflows are progressing."
"From my space, the only thing that I can say is the spinning up with Google Cloud Services."
"It is a highly complex platform to work on."
"The connectors need to be updated because certain connectors for third-party tools are not up to date, and our customers are having problems synchronizing data with some of these tools."
"We had a few use cases where we couldn't find solutions in Orchestration and had to go with the publishers to solve them."
"The third-party integrations are challenging when the tools are not from ServiceNow partners. This presents issues when integrating solutions from other vendors."
"We have found some gaps in integration because all of our customers require niche tools."
"The flow rate for releases and updates is very, very slow and does not meet customers' objectives for scalability."
"If I compare the interface of ServiceNow Orchestration with Boomi, it is easier to use Boomi than ServiceNow Orchestration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a huge cost saving with BMC TrueSight compared to other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"It is not very expensive."
"The cost of the solution is based on the number of plugins, conductors and integrations used and is charged annually. The licensing cause has been increasing gradually which makes it difficult to access. Initially offer free features but over the time the charges rise which make it an expensive solution with limited features. Along with that, the integration issues persist and require additional middle where and internet connectivity for effective usage."
"ServiceNow doesn't give a clear cost indication. They have different contracts with different organizations and it's all about negotiation, so you don't know how they are doing at the cost level."
"This is an expensive product, but it is the best in the market considering the features and lack of competitors."
"It is quite expensive because we've had some customers come back and say it's quite pricey because in order for them to go ahead with Orchestration, they must have already been paying for Discovery, service mapping, and a few other things."
"The solution is costly and orchestrations are very expensive."
"In terms of price, this solution is at the higher end of what you'll find."
"Pricing is custom to every customer."
