We performed a comparison between OpenText Operations Bridge and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."
"We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."
"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."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
"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."
"We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems."
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"The most valuable features for us are the monitoring, the health explorer, and the console."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."
"The advantages of SCOM are that it is definitely user friendly and a more appropriate solution for what we need."
"I like some of their newer features, such as maintenance schedules, because SCOM records SLA and SLO time."
"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process. The system tells you what the bi-weekly or monthly usage was and that enables us to report this information to the manager. It shows if there was a connectivity issue that needs to be fixed and it's easier to concentrate on what needs to get fixed. System errors, therefore, get fixed faster."
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."
"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."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Implementation could be improved."
"The solution should be more user-friendly and offer a better user interface."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
"In terms of features that could be improved, I would say the agent integration into the operating system. We are having difficulties integrating Linux into some of the networking devices."
"The initial setup should be easier to complete."
"All of the areas of reporting are very bad and need to be improved."
"Of course, price is always an issue with Microsoft and could be improved."
"It lacks certain details that other products do better, like granular access and better application monitoring."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
