We performed a comparison between OpenText Operations Bridge and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software."
"The integration with the ticketing tool makes sure that there is a record for every issue."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"It is stable."
"It's a very good product overall."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We deployed the solution from new and completed the upgrades."
"The ability to customize the views and dashboards is nice. SolarWinds also allows us to access the data via the API. That's probably the feature I liked the most."
"What I've found most valuable about the solution is that it's scalable."
"The connectivity of the solution is very good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerts."
"Technical support is very helpful with our upgrades."
"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"The solution ranks as one of the top five monitoring tools."
"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."
"Installing and upgrading the HPOM and Operations Agent software is not always easy and the process can be quite fragile. Once it is running, it is very quick and stable, but an upgrade can quite easily break something or terminate unexpectedly."
"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."
"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."
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."
"Our issues are largely support related due to where we are and the knowledge base that we have here. This issue relates both HPE in general and to the technical products."
"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."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"The solution's network discovery and node addition processes need more work."
"We are looking to change away from this solution because of the documentation and the solution doesn't have enough integration in our country. The documentation is too weak."
"It would be nice to have a test to check if you can access a particular device via API without installing it and waiting for a poll cycle. You should have the capacity to initiate a test to see if it was reachable and get the results almost immediately."
"There needs to be more integration of widgets, especially for reporting purposes."
"I think Solar Winds NPM needs to create a profile with documentation responsibility."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve the graphics of the interface and more customized reporting."
"The dashboard of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"SolarWinds needs to be improved such that it is on par with the leading products in the market."
