We performed a comparison between OpenText Operations Bridge and Zabbix 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."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 preloaded rules and ways to monitor your systems are a must."
"The most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard."
"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"It's a very good product overall."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with everything."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."
"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."
"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure."
"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."
"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."
"There is less computing power needed for scaling."
"Setup was straightforward. Initial deployment took two or three months."
"Implementation could be improved."
"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."
"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."
"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"It could be more stable."
"The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."
"The user interface could be better."
"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."
"It should be easy to modify the front end."
"There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc."
"As far as improvements, sometimes I get a bit frustrated when I move from a previous version to a new one because some configuration has changed—I need to investigate the documentation to deal with some configuration. But it doesn't take much time, so it's okay."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
