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.

Quotes from Members

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

"It is stable and scalable."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"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 correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"Transparency is one of the big features, and we reduced our attempt to repair by forty percent."
"Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with other HPE products because it enables us to feed all the information into same area; whereas before it was in different sites."
"OpsBridge is powerful, comprehensive, and well suited to organizations with the budget to justify it."
"From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have; it's an amazing piece of software."
 

Cons

"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."
"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."
"The technology used is outdated, the interface is outdated, the database is outdated, everything is outdated."
"Technical support is very frustrating because we have probably 12 or 15 years’ experience with the products."
"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."
"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."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"There are pretty heavy limits on what the system can do."
"I think it could be improved with regard to response time, and getting the proper resources."
"Depending on where you land, if you get stuck in generic level-two support, then it’s quite uninspiring – that’s probably the best description."
"Installing and upgrading the HPOM and Operations Agent software is not always easy and the process can be quite fragile."
"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."
"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."
"The predictive analytics feature is very close to being integrated, but it is not fully integrated at this time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."
"The licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
"It is competitive."
"The cost is very high."
"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 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."
"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."
