Pros
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution.""Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function.""It is very scalable.""It is reliable when it comes to monitoring.""Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple.""We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution.""Technical support is great.""DX UIM is scalable."

"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events.""Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable.""We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems.""It's a very good product overall.""The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus.""The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance.""OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms.""It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."

Cons
"​We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard.""There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure.""Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc.""Stability.""We would like to see automatic network topology.""How we can get more native information from CA's solutions.""The company has not kept pace with developments.""A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."

"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement.""Our issues are largely support related due to where we are and the knowledge base that we have here. This issue relates both HPE in general and to the technical products.""The pricing could be improved.""What needs improvement in Micro Focus Operations Bridge is its resource heaviness because you need many resources to deploy and support it. It's a good solution for larger organizations, but for small businesses, not so much.""pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events.""The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA.""The initial setup is a little bit complex.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
  • "The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
  • "The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
  • "Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
  • "CAD $400,000 annually."
  • "Customers pay for the license and the support."
  • "Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."

  • "Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
  • "It is competitive."
  • "Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
  • "The licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
  • "The cost is very high."
  • "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 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."
