It's easy to setup and the plugins are easy to write. When we need to, the threshold is easy to change.
It's easy to setup and the plugins are easy to write. When we need to, the threshold is easy to change It would be nice to have a centralized client-settings management. At the moment, the client settings have to be changed individually. I've used it since 2011. The deployment of the new server…

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's easy to setup and the plugins are easy to write."
"I've found the solution to be very scalable."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
"The core manager also allows for the creation of a custom dashboard, and users can use the cache from the dashboard which can include images."
"It's highly stable; it's worked well for me for eight to ten years and I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches."
"We now have a consolidated dashboard that shows availability and performance across key business services, enabling cost optimization, scalability, and efficiencies as we transform multiple monitoring teams into one working off a single console with all the data in one place."
"Once it is in there, it's extremely robust."
"We ended up with HPE because there we saw how we would develop this level automation that we're heading for, without the amount of work getting just ridiculous."
"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."
 

Cons

"Deploying an agent leaves much to be desired."
"It can be cumbersome to get up and running. And it's very expensive."
"I see room for improvement in the licensing scheme area. It's getting more complex day by day."
"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."
"Stability could have been better. We were running into problems sometimes where the whole system was not performing as we expected."
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."
"The installation instructions are a mess to the point where the advice given to us by other HPE people has been to not follow the instructions, but to follow the VMEs instead."
"There is need to have more out-of-the-box support for HPE products itself."
"The product and the UI need updating. Everything about the user experience needs updating."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
"The cost is very high."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"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."
