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 has greatly reduced the number and duration of outages as support teams are notified immediately when something goes wrong or even before something breaks."
"It is stable."
"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."
"Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"The data lake is a very powerful feature within OpenText Operations Bridge."
"It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."
"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."
"Their technical support is incredible, immediately responsive, and even if it is not updated to Level 2 support sometimes, they chip in providing more detailed answers and options to fix the problem."
"It's very secure, because it's a legacy application."
"It alerts the operators when it is time to repair the communications and the IPLs."
"Once automatic IPL has been defined, anyone can perform an IPL with very little intervention. We know that all of the components will be started correctly."
"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 reduces the number of repetitive motions required by a human to respond to the system."
"I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."
 

Cons

"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."
"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 solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
"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."
"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 pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"The product might currently have a lot of new features, however, I don't have information about these new features, so it's possible it may require updates in that area."
"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."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"The GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming. They are working on that."
"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."
"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script.​"
"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."
"​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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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)."
"It is competitive."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"The cost is very high."
"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
"The licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
"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."
