A stable and clever solution, but it is very complex and it needs a lot of improvements
There are a lot of things that need improvement. Software recognition, software licensing, software compliance, data inputs, reporting, and support are some of the areas. It needs a discovery tool of its own. You have to get that from other Micro Focus products, which means you have to pay more to get those products.
Ahmed Salman - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"We have now automatic and immediate control of assets usage, and we can now better manage our assets pool and get benefits through that."
"It is stable and scalable."
"This product can be customized according to the needs of any company."
"This solution worked as an umbrella for many different types of monitoring systems, offering various tools for not only application performance management models but also user experience models and monitoring business processes."
"You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"I find the Micro Focus Operations Bridge dashboard valuable, including its instrument analysis and anomaly control features that help indicate root causes and problems with your infrastructure."
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"It's a very good product overall."
"The most valuable aspect of Operations Bridge for us is its integration capabilities."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
 

Cons

"The technology used is outdated, the interface is outdated, the database is outdated, everything is outdated."
"There are a lot of things that need improvement. Software recognition, software licensing, software compliance, data inputs, reporting, and support are some of the areas."
"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."
"Reporting has to be tackled a bit more. Conceptually, it is there and conceptually it is amazing, but somehow the module itself is suffering."
"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."
"In a future release, we would like an improved upgrade process. When you upgrade it now, it first uninstalls everything and then reinstalls all the packages, which means any customization that you've done in the directories on the surface disappears."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."
"The dashboards from OpenText Operations Bridge, when compared to those from Splunk, are less visually appealing."
"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."
"Our issues are largely support related due to where we are and the knowledge base that we have here. This issue relates both HPE in general and to the technical products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."
"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."
"The cost is very high."
"It is competitive."
"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)."
"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
"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."
