The new pricing models lack clarity in communication, bundling services that we may not actually need, leading to unnecessary costs.

Valuable Features

OpenText AI Operations Management enhances IT efficiency with integration, event correlation, automation, anomaly detection, scalability, and customizable dashboards.
SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability provides comprehensive monitoring, proactive insights, and rapid troubleshooting for efficient multi-location network management.
This integration ensures that when monitoring systems alert and subsequently resolve, tickets are automatically created and closed.

It has an alerting engine where I can define thresholds and configure custom alerts, which can also be integrated with ITSM or a ticketing system to auto-create tickets.
Solutions Architect at Cognizant
Smart Alerts in SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability has been really helpful for our team.

Featured Reviews

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.
Kalyan Kothali - PeerSpot reviewer

Unified dashboards have improved hybrid infrastructure monitoring and support daily operations
The dashboard and reporting can be improved. The way the dashboards are being configured and presented in SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability has certain challenges. The look and feel and ease of configuring are areas where we see difficulties. There are certain limitations where we are not able to select the range or live details. Specifically, I want to have a trend analysis on certain thresholds, but those are tricky and we are not able to do that. We are currently downloading that and then using Excel to represent it. Those kinds of features are missing as of now. AI features in SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability, we only started this in 2024. We are still stabilizing the environment. AI is the next thing, so we did not start looking into that yet. Even the dashboards that we are trying to build to understand the trend analysis in SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability show always the live information. What is the current state, how many monitors, how many are green, how many are amber, where we have warnings, what are at risk, is the live information that we could build from the dashboard. When trying to analyze the thresholds or how much increase we need to make, or what the trend is happening, getting into those details is difficult. Building those kind of reports is a tricky one. We struggle a lot in that area.
