Good technical support, and efficient for working with business data
We use this solution for working with data. The most valuable feature of this solution is the efficiency. This application should be made easier to use because it usually needs training and it is not easy to operate. We have been using this solution for fourteen years. The stability of this…

Powerful data integration, comprehensive automation, and hybrid compatibility
The data lake is a very powerful feature within OpenText Operations Bridge. It can integrate with any BI tool to collect AI data and perform a variety of functions. It offers hybrid compatibility and supports desktop application customization and cloud integration. Another essential capability is server automation, which became significantly easier with the software appliance for deployment. This solution also provides role-based access that enhances data privacy and security.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the efficiency."
"The broad integration possibilities, I'd say, with any kind of product, are probably the most valuable feature."
"You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with everything."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"I rate OpenText Operations Bridge as a solid nine on a scale of one to ten."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"It has greatly reduced the number and duration of outages as support teams are notified immediately when something goes wrong or even before something breaks."
"From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software."
 

Cons

"This application should be made easier to use because it usually needs training and it is not easy to operate."
"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."
"The creation process is not as easy as expected, requiring multiple steps and can be quite complex."
"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."
"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."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"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 cost is very high."
