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.

Automation has improved alerts and file handling but script-based setup still needs simplification
OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence is the automation tool I use. I think OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence is good for creating complex rules because it's coding, but it takes time to learn how to use it. OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence works well if you know the syntax very well and you have experience in creating scripts or REXX syntax; it would be very good and is a good tool, but it takes time to learn, so that is for experienced staff to work with. I would rate the product a six from one to ten. I cannot think of any additional features in the next release of OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of Operations Bridge for us is its integration capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless monitoring of both Windows and Unix servers."
"The ability to integrate directly with the RIPM on top of DSM, using the event feed into OMI, the metrics feed, and features like SHA offers opportunities for faster root cause analysis."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
"We have a bunch of critical servers and applications, and we are able to monitor using this product to create a dashboard and have automatic alerts to notify the responsible team."
"It helps us to take into account all of our infrastructure, monitoring everything as one single point of truth, with flexible configuration to correlate systems and applications so our systems stay under control and in check."
"It optimizes their operations efficiency, and makes people more focused on the issue at hand instead of trying to figure out what's going on."
"The integration with the ticketing tool makes sure that there is a record for every issue."
"The performance of it is beyond exceptional."
"For the mainframe it's a really good automation tool, it's been really solid for what we needed it for, and it's been flexible and scalable across the enterprise."
"With the automation pieces we can bring this region up or take this region down, and it allows us to always meet our time critical requirements."
"OPS/MVS is doing things more efficiently than a person would do; they may make mistakes; finger checks here."
"We used to us an IBM product, but OPS/MVS has a lot more flexibility in what we can do with it."
"It reduces the number of repetitive motions required by a human to respond to the system."
"For what it was produced for, it's an excellent product; it's done everything that we wanted to do with the product and more, which has been a really big help for us."
"​The follow-up surprised me. Making sure that I am happy with what I have gone to them on. They will call after I have made changes and verify that I am happy with the changes that I did have to make. If it did not fix the complete problem, they go back over it until I am satisfied.​"
 

Cons

"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."
"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"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."
"Stability could have been better. We were running into problems sometimes where the whole system was not performing as we expected."
"The UI could be better. The ease of use, deployment, upgrades, and licensing could be better."
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."
"There is need to have more out-of-the-box support for HPE products itself."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"The new release addressed some shortcomings of the product."
"With stability, sometimes we do have problems with this product."
"The mainframe TSO side still displays green screens."
"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script.​"
"The only issue we have is when we try to integrate with common services."
"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."
"One of the things we've been wanting to do is to be able to automate off of different highlighted messages without actually knowing what the message is."
"Some of the command sequences are too long."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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