Helps design blueprints in a cloud environment but the support is a major problem
One of the major problems is that support is not so good. I used to have a support expert in Spain but they left two years ago. BMC doesn't invest a lot in network automation but network automation is a major point in CLM. There aren't any experts here in Europe, maybe they have in America, I don't know. The main problem is the support in Europe. We had a lot of problems with the people who got put on our cases. The agents that we were assigned to were not so capable. They wanted to replicate the problem. If you have an incident, it takes a lot of time to troubleshoot the problem. The incident support is not so good. The technicians don't know the platform well. BMC doesn't want to invest in CLM. Two years ago we had a lot of problems. Maybe BMC realized that CLM is an end of life product.

Powerful data integration, comprehensive automation, and hybrid compatibility
The data lake is a very powerful feature within OpenText Operations Bridge. It can integrate with any BI tool to collect AI data and perform a variety of functions. It offers hybrid compatibility and supports desktop application customization and cloud integration. Another essential capability is server automation, which became significantly easier with the software appliance for deployment. This solution also provides role-based access that enhances data privacy and security.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automates Java EE Application Deployment from an SCM system."
"Assesses change impact or completes an audit using multiple dashboard views."
"Supports unattended installs and image-based, script-based, or template-based provisioning."
"By allowing end users to request their own services, the request process for systems is much quicker and more accurate."
"Integrates role-based access control with pre-configured policies for CIS, DISA, HIPAA, PCI, SOX, NIST, and SCAP documentation and remediation."
"CLM has a multi-cloud portal because they have the resources to implement in various environments in various ports."
"You can tie together your public and private cloud infrastructure into a "single pane of glass"."
"The data lake is a very powerful feature within OpenText Operations Bridge."
"I find the Micro Focus Operations Bridge dashboard valuable, including its instrument analysis and anomaly control features that help indicate root causes and problems with your infrastructure."
"I've found the solution to be very scalable."
"You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"I rate OpenText Operations Bridge as a solid nine on a scale of one to ten."
"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"It allows us to build dashboards for individual parts of the business. Our team members appreciate that they can just get a view of their part of the world without having to worry about anyone else's."
 

Cons

"Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."
"The installation and configuration can be tricky due to it being built on Remedy."
"One of the major problems is that support is not so good."
"Installing and upgrading the HPOM and Operations Agent software is not always easy and the process can be quite fragile. Once it is running, it is very quick and stable, but an upgrade can quite easily break something or terminate unexpectedly."
"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"The deployment of agents on new CI should be improved. There should be some kind of automation to directly deploy them from the console. It can maybe have some more AI functions because most of the other tools are going in that direction."
"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"We are waiting for quicker release cycles. Also containerized upgrade, so that you don't have to bring a system entirely down to make a minor upgrade, in fact, or a minor patch."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
"The licensing model for Micro Focus Operations Bridge is unit-based so it can be one device or ten devices depending on your situation or model. Cost-wise, it's much more if you have more devices and features such as infrastructure monitoring, analytic dashboard, and business dashboard in your model."
"It is competitive."
"The licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"As OpsBridge is a suite of products bundled together, you may find yourself paying for software functionality that you don't actually use, e.g. Real User Monitor (RUM)."
"The cost is very high."
