Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"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."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
"The event correlation is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"It allows us to build dashboards for individual parts of the business. Our team members appreciate that they can just get a view of their part of the world without having to worry about anyone else's."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"This solution allows us to standardize all of the reports for monitoring the network, so it helps a lot for auditing purposes."
"The solution has improved our overrides and the ability to start services if they're stopped."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"It works better than other products I’ve used – namely SolarWinds, which is cumbersome and error prone for web app monitoring. SCOM is not."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"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 pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
"It would be a much better product if Microsoft provided management packs with the product."
"The end-user components, including the dashboards, the administration console, and the web console, need to be improved."
"The solution can be improved by expanding to cloud usage."
"The initial setup should be easier to complete."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
