"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"The broad integration possibilities, I'd say, with any kind of product, are probably the most valuable feature."
"It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."
"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."
"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 correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"This application should be made easier to use because it usually needs training and it is not easy to operate."
"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."
"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 service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"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."
"We are waiting for quicker release cycles. Also containerized upgrade, so that you don't have to bring a system entirely down to make a minor upgrade, in fact, or a minor patch."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
