Featured Reviews

Ayobanji Iluyomade - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is stable and can be used for monitoring and managing events, but it does not provide application or service monitoring features
We are moving from basic monitoring to AIOps, where we can do things like self-healing. We also want to create dashboards for IT and business users to show the status of their services. We have done a couple of demos. I recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.
Ahmed Salman - PeerSpot reviewer
Powerful data integration, comprehensive automation, and hybrid compatibility
The data lake is a very powerful feature within OpenText Operations Bridge. It can integrate with any BI tool to collect AI data and perform a variety of functions. It offers hybrid compatibility and supports desktop application customization and cloud integration. Another essential capability is server automation, which became significantly easier with the software appliance for deployment. This solution also provides role-based access that enhances data privacy and security.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"TSOM's ability to consolidate alerts into a single location and provide filtering of alerts is great."
"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management is easily scalable."
"Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
"I like everything about this tool. I recommend this solution to anyone looking for a standalone solution with high availability meaning that can be used depending on the customers requirements."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"The preloaded rules and ways to monitor your systems are a must."
"It's a very good product overall."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
"The most valuable aspect of Operations Bridge for us is its integration capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard."
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"The integration with the ticketing tool makes sure that there is a record for every issue."
"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."
 

Cons

"In our company, we faced some issues with the solution’s application endpoint, IP, and the physical location of the transactions."
"The solution is overly complex."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"Reporting would be an area for improvement in TrueSight... We have almost 800 customers today on TrueSight and just under 10,000 assets. We need to be able to give a customer some information. If the customer's product fails, they'll ask us, "Did it have a problem beforehand?" We have all those events and we know all the problems it had beforehand. We have to be able to give them access to that kind of reporting. That's an enhancement that we need."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"I definitely would like to see more improvement in the self-diagnostics. I need to know when anything is not working or collecting, long before our customer finds it."
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"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 pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay license fees of between $150 and $200 per asset. There is an enterprise software license fee, and then you pay a percentage for your maintenance, and then Premier Support. For example, if you buy a two-year license for the product, then the maintenance fee is added to that for two years at X percent a year. Then there's a small fee on top of that for Premier Support..."
"The only possible additional cost that I can mention, that you might not be aware of, is that it uses Oracle partitioning, if you use Oracle. There are Oracle partitioning fees that go with that."
"We're end-of-lifeing it now. Overall, the licensing costs of BMC are a challenge for us in that they're hard costs, whereas open-source monitoring has soft costs, where it's harder to line-item."
"There is a big upfront cost when you buy the license, then there is annual maintenance. We look at, if I bought a license and paid for maintenance for five years, then average it out, what would be my monthly cost. We have had some of the competing tools come in around four dollars. This is coming in as a premium, which is why I don't have it deployed as I would like it. Therefore, we're in negotiations right now. If I can get it down to the four dollar range, I will triple my deployment in a year and a half."
"It is a large, complex product. So, there is a commitment of manpower to deploy it, as it is not a cheap product."
"Use conservative figures. In terms of hardware, monitored servers and also effort. The product is not cheap. But as with other products, you get what you pay for."
"We did a five-year, multimillion dollar deal."
"It is a relatively inexpensive solution."
"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)."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"It is competitive."
"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."
"The cost is very high."
"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."
