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.""From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all.""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.""OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms.""Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets.""The event correlation is the most valuable aspect of the solution.""It allows us to build dashboards for individual parts of the business. Our team members appreciate that they can just get a view of their part of the world without having to worry about anyone else's."

"The performance of it is beyond exceptional. It is probably one of the best products that I have ever worked with. It is easy to use, comprehensive, and can perform almost any task you need it to.""It reduces the number of repetitive motions required by a human to respond to the system.""​It is an easy product to use and it is stable.""If something breaks and it goes down when it's not supposed to, automation brings it right back up.""It's very flexible. You can customize what you need to, which is good. For example, you can do your own coding inside the tool, make your own scripting tooling.""I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up.""The documentation is simple, easy to follow, and use. A limited, first-time systems programmer can do it, in that it is out-of-the-box almost functional.""It alerts the operators when it is time to repair the communications and the IPLs."

Cons
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution.""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 latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling.""pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events.""I know that in the next version, X1005, they're moving to more graphical overviews, which should help our senior managers.""The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources.""Implementation could be improved.""I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."

More OpenText Operations Bridge Cons →

"The GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming. They are working on that.""The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script.​""One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky.""Performing a stop/restart of OPS/MVS could be a little smoother. Without special coding, some undesired tasks will be started and some necessary tasks will be stopped if we have to bounce OPS/MVS during the day.""Some of the command sequences are too long.""It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it.""The further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into.""Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions."

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)."
  • "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."
