Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, ServiceNow, Microsoft and others in Event Monitoring."We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."
"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."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
"You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components."
"We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems."
"The preloaded rules and ways to monitor your systems are a must."
"I like how, with Parallels, you can either boot into Mac or Windows to get better control over the resources of the laptops since you're sharing the resources in dual mode."
"Parallels Desktop integrates seamlessly with macOS. It works better than VMware on Apple operating systems."
"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."
"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."
"I know that in the next version, X1005, they're moving to more graphical overviews, which should help our senior managers."
"It is a very complicated product. It's difficult to manage. Nowadays, products are very easy to manage, deploy, and integrate, but Operations Bridge is very complicated to manage."
"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."
"There may have been some issues with device drivers on my Mac. Similarly, there are some issues with transferring data from Parallels to the Mac."
"The biggest challenge is compatibility between VMware and Parallels because the two systems are incompatible. It can be challenging if you are switching between Windows and Mac. I recommend sticking with one product because there isn't good compatibility between the different products."
