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."
"The event correlation is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"It's a very good product overall."
"We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems."
 

Cons

"This application should be made easier to use because it usually needs training and it is not easy to operate."
"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"The deployment of agents on new CI should be improved. There should be some kind of automation to directly deploy them from the console. It can maybe have some more AI functions because most of the other tools are going in that direction."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"Reporting has to be tackled a bit more. Conceptually, it is there and conceptually it is amazing, but somehow the module itself is suffering."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"It is a very complicated product. It's difficult to manage. Nowadays, products are very easy to manage, deploy, and integrate, but Operations Bridge is very complicated to manage."
"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
"The cost is very high."
"It is competitive."
"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
