Software Asset Manager Lead at Boeing at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Product Line Manager at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees
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.

"We have now automatic and immediate control of assets usage, and we can now better manage our assets pool and get benefits through that."
"We are constantly using this product and we are constantly improving this product."
"It is stable and scalable."
"HPE helped us aggregate, and we now have all these layers in one layer, so we are looking at the service from the core of it, not from a resource perspective or from an IT, servers-based perspective."
"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 helped us to increase transparency of our line of business, as well as both transparency and visibility of the IT department within the company."
"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."
"In Micro Focus OBM, everything was controlled at the node level and now everything can be controlled at the console level."
"My customers are happy and satisfied with the monitoring capabilities that give them a more precise picture of company performance."
"OpsBridge is powerful, comprehensive, and well suited to organizations with the budget to justify it."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."
 

Cons

"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 technology used is outdated, the interface is outdated, the database is outdated, everything is outdated."
"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."
"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."
"Technical support is very frustrating because we have probably 12 or 15 years’ experience with the products."
"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."
"There are a lot of locked files, about a thousand. You cannot always find the correct information to solve an issue."
"There is need to have more out-of-the-box support for HPE products itself."
"Topology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"The technical support is normally very good, but occasionally patchy."
"The pricing could be improved."
"With support, you have to apply some changes which require a restart. That is in fact unacceptable."
"Stability could have been better. We were running into problems sometimes where the whole system was not performing as we expected."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"It is competitive."
"The cost is very high."
