Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events.""It is stable.""The broad integration possibilities, I'd say, with any kind of product, are probably the most valuable feature.""We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems.""You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components.""The integration with the ticketing tool makes sure that there is a record for every issue.""From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software.""The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."

"The solution has plenty of features that are good.""The most valuable feature of Splunk Enterprise Security is website activity monitoring.""Internal tracking is helpful because we do not like to deal with multiple ticketing systems, and I am not a fan of ServiceNow. We are able to keep everything internal and utilize Enterprise Security.""Splunk's schema on demand is incredibly useful. I do not have to worry about what my users will need when we onboard their data.""Splunk is a user-friendly solution.""UBA, User Behavior Analytics, is a key feature.""The correlation search functions that generate all the notables are valuable. That can get pretty complicated, and it handles that pretty well.""To get visibility from your network devices, servers, and security devices is a great feature."

Cons
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement.""Reporting has to be tackled a bit more. Conceptually, it is there and conceptually it is amazing, but somehow the module itself is suffering.""The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA.""I know that in the next version, X1005, they're moving to more graphical overviews, which should help our senior managers.""Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling.""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 pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies.""The initial setup is a little bit complex."

More OpenText Operations Bridge Cons →

"My company could benefit from doing more Splunk training with Splunk consultants teaching us how to use it.""The administration of the cluster and app deployment to indexers or search heads can be done only using ssh access and command line, there is no GUI tools for that.""We'd like Splunk to reduce false positives.""They should make data onboarding easier.""Over time I will have more requirements and I can foresee the solution could improve the search algorithm to run and output the data faster.""I'd like to see more integration with more antivirus systems.""The UI can be improved. Dashboards and reports can be better in terms of graphics.""The product must improve insider threat detection."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
  • "It is competitive."
  • "Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
  • "The licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
  • "The cost is very high."
  • "As OpsBridge is a suite of products bundled together, you may find yourself paying for software functionality that you don't actually use, e.g. Real User Monitor (RUM)."
