We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:

More CA Harvest Software Change Manager Pros →

"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all.""The preloaded rules and ways to monitor your systems are a must.""We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches.""The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events.""It has greatly reduced the number and duration of outages as support teams are notified immediately when something goes wrong or even before something breaks.""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.""You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components."

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

More CA Harvest Software Change Manager Cons →

"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events.""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.""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.""The initial setup is a little bit complex.""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 initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it.""I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
