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.

It automates responses, preventing issues from becoming more severe
I just installed version 12.3, which actually already has a number of new features. It's going to make it easier for some of our new users. I'm old-school, I learned it the old way. I actually want to go back and implement it and start doing things the new way. As I need to train people, it's going to make it easier for them and make the learning curve much shorter. The new release addressed some shortcomings of the product. It was old-school. The learning curve was a little bit long in the beginning, but it's really come a long way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is stable."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software."
"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"The event correlation is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"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."
"We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems."
"​The service has been wonderful. I like the people that I have had to deal with. The process is very straightforward. I call or use the website."
"It alerts the operators when it is time to repair the communications and the IPLs."
"It reduces the number of repetitive motions required by a human to respond to the system."
"The performance of it is beyond exceptional. It is probably one of the best products that I have ever worked with. It is easy to use, comprehensive, and can perform almost any task you need it to."
"It allows us to respond faster to issues. If there are issues that come out, we're able to capture a message and alert somebody about it."
"It's very secure, because it's a legacy application."
"The documentation is simple, easy to follow, and use. A limited, first-time systems programmer can do it, in that it is out-of-the-box almost functional."
"If something breaks and it goes down when it's not supposed to, automation brings it right back up."
 

Cons

"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."
"I know that in the next version, X1005, they're moving to more graphical overviews, which should help our senior managers."
"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."
"Implementation could be improved."
"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."
"We need improvements in delivering quality reports from OBM and in integrating Operations Bridge with other components like UCMDB for asset discovery."
"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"Installing and upgrading the HPOM and Operations Agent software is not always easy and the process can be quite fragile. Once it is running, it is very quick and stable, but an upgrade can quite easily break something or terminate unexpectedly."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"​It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process.​"
"The further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into."
"It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it."
"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."
"Performing a stop/restart of OPS/MVS could be a little smoother. Without special coding, some undesired tasks will be started and some necessary tasks will be stopped if we have to bounce OPS/MVS during the day."
"Some of the command sequences are too long."
"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script.​"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"It is competitive."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is very high."
