We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and OpenText Operations Bridge based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two DX NetOps solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"The Global Collections are what I found to be most valuable. With the Global Collections, you're able to organize and categorize devices into "folders," or functional groups and categories, so that it doesn't matter which SpectroSERVER those devices are on."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"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."
"Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."
"The event correlation is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"We have had some issues with the spec server and the high availability replication of data. It fails over well, but it does not come back very well. We get duplicated events."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"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."
"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 service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"It is a very complicated product. It's difficult to manage. Nowadays, products are very easy to manage, deploy, and integrate, but Operations Bridge is very complicated to manage."
"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."
"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
