More CA Harvest Software Change Manager Pros →

"It's a very good product overall.""The most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard.""You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components.""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 Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance.""We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches.""The broad integration possibilities, I'd say, with any kind of product, are probably the most valuable feature.""Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."

Cons
"Password complexity is not enforced by the tool.""Technical support for this solution is very good, although they can still use improvement in some regards.""Security features can be improved."

More CA Harvest Software Change Manager Cons →

"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.""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.""Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling.""The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources.""The initial setup is a little bit complex.""The setup process can get a little bit complex.""The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it.""Implementation could be improved."

  • "The licensing model for Micro Focus Operations Bridge is unit-based so it can be one device or ten devices depending on your situation or model. Cost-wise, it's much more if you have more devices and features such as infrastructure monitoring, analytic dashboard, and business dashboard in your model."
