"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."
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"I've found the solution to be very scalable."
"The integration with the ticketing tool makes sure that there is a record for every issue."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
"You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components."
"It is stable."
"I do not have to keep recordings. It is there and is proactive. It helps the operators, human editors, and me."
"I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."
"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 alerts the operators when it is time to repair the communications and the IPLs."
"OPS/REXX is valuable because it allows us almost unlimited flexibility in automating our system."
"It's very flexible. You can customize what you need to, which is good. For example, you can do your own coding inside the tool, make your own scripting tooling."
"Because we can define complex commands, the training of new operators is quicker. We can also put checks in place, that will prevent user errors."
"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."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."
"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."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"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."
"Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions."
"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."
"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script."
"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."
"The GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming. They are working on that."
"Some of the command sequences are too long."
"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."
"It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process."
