It is hugely configurable.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all.""OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms.""We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."

"Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred.""The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages.""The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation.""The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature.

Cons
"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources.""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 setup process can get a little bit complex.""The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA.""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.""Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling.""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.""The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."

More OpenText Operations Bridge Cons →

"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap.""Should have more YouTube webinars.""There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert.""The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use.""The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."

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."
