Project Manager and IT Management Consultant at a integrator with 1,001-5,000 employees
Great for identifying application interdependencies with helpful support but needs better visualizations
We're just trying to identify the application interdependencies, which normally reside on different servers, including web servers, database servers, enterprise service bus, et cetera, up to your presentation layer before we start moving stuff around. Normally, the reason why we use these tools is to understand what assets we have, where they're deployed, and how they enter and operate before we decide to go move something from point A to point B. The solution is going to allow me to establish a wave or migration plan where you have different waves of migration and then you actually have move groups to try and get your application moved from A to B seamlessly. A to B could be on-premise to on-premise. It could be on-premise to cloud. Et cetera. The solution can tell me what components can I deploy, for example, into a cloud space, without having to refactor my applications since that can be quite time-consuming and costly.

Unified monitoring has improved event handling but needs stronger AI automation and modern dashboards
OpenText AI Operations Management could benefit from a fully integrated AI system, which we call AIOps. A fully integrated AI operations system would be valuable in the future. Additionally, the UI experience could be more comfortable. We are not using predictive features in OpenText AI Operations Management such as anomaly detection. In the future, we may be able to operate with our customer, but we need to decide this collectively. You need to see the big picture and understand what the customer's pain points are to find the right tuning. Normally, predictive features can be more useful, but this is an end-to-end solution that needs to be customized. You need to understand the exact customer needs. The predictive analytics feature is very close to being integrated, but it is not fully integrated at this time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It gives you full 360-degree visibility into your entire infrastructure."
"This is a must-try product."
"ExtraHop is far ahead of anything comparable in the industry."
"It's a must-have solution for large IT Operations, providing the ability to analyze infrastructure and application-related performance and data from the wire perspective."
"We have been able to improve the mean time to resolution by several hours in some cases."
"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."
"You cannot hide from the wire; all truth lives in the packets, and ExtraHop gets them to talk!"
"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."
"The preloaded rules and ways to monitor your systems are a must."
"I rate OpenText Operations Bridge as a solid nine on a scale of one to ten."
"You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
"It optimizes their operations efficiency, and makes people more focused on the issue at hand instead of trying to figure out what's going on."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"In Micro Focus OBM, everything was controlled at the node level and now everything can be controlled at the console level."
"We have worked now almost two years with OpsBridge and it is a very stable system."
 

Cons

"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."
"We've had some struggles getting it to see everything that we want to see. Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the security part. They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
"Additional out-of-the-box solutions and use cases would be nice."
"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."
"The improvement that would make the most impact would be expanding on the new EXA big data back end."
"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"Implementation could be improved. We also need training and a good partner in order to install and configure it."
"The product might currently have a lot of new features, however, I don't have information about these new features, so it's possible it may require updates in that area."
"There are a lot of locked files, about a thousand. You cannot always find the correct information to solve an issue."
"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."
"The past year has not been very good in terms of technical support; there were long waits before replying, and very often we find the solution ourselves before the support engineers do."
"I know that in the next version, X1005, they're moving to more graphical overviews, which should help our senior managers."
"Initial setup and deployment has been fairly complex. There are specialized skills and expertise required to run deployments."
"I see room for improvement in the licensing scheme area. It's getting more complex day by day."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is higher than other solutions, but with such good features, I think it's worth it."
"The pricing is fair considering the value provided."
"The price of this solution for our environment is about £650,000 ($855,000 USD) for three years."
"The cost is very high."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"The licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
"It is competitive."
"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."
"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
"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)."
