We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and OpenText Operations Bridge based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two DX NetOps solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."All networks (or network equipment) are monitored through CA Spectrum."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software."
"It's a very good product overall."
"The most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard."
"It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."
"I've found the solution to be very scalable."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems."
"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."
"For my use case, incident coordination was an area of improvement. The internal software engine for coordinating outages could use improvement because sometimes, we used to get false alerts for unrelated devices. They did a really good job of trying to make sure that you got one major alert and any of the subsequent devices downstream were just additions to that, but occasionally, the engine wouldn't properly catch the right things, and we used to get a flood of alerts."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"We want to make our own choice for the AIOps solution and do not want to be forced to use the Broadcom OI solution by default."
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"In a future release, we would like an improved upgrade process. When you upgrade it now, it first uninstalls everything and then reinstalls all the packages, which means any customization that you've done in the directories on the surface disappears."
"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."
"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."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"I know that in the next version, X1005, they're moving to more graphical overviews, which should help our senior managers."
"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."
"It is a very complicated product. It's difficult to manage. Nowadays, products are very easy to manage, deploy, and integrate, but Operations Bridge is very complicated to manage."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
