Powerful data integration, comprehensive automation, and hybrid compatibility

"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster."

"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is approximately $100 to $120 and is paid annually."
"The pricing is an eight out of ten."
"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."
"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)."
"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."
"The cost is very high."
"It is competitive."
