Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components.""It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure.""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 initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all.""The most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard.""I've found the solution to be very scalable.""We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."

"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard.""Power packs.""One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards.""I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity.""Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content.""It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers.""The power flow is great.""Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."

Cons
"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling.""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.""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.""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.""The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it.""I'm not aware of areas that need improvement.""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."

More OpenText Operations Bridge Cons →

"The product is not user-friendly.""They need a little more self-service.""ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient.""I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services.""ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others.""It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic.""It was challenging onboarding users.""There are often bugs in new releases."
