It's easy to setup and the plugins are easy to write. When we need to, the threshold is easy to change.
It's easy to setup and the plugins are easy to write. When we need to, the threshold is easy to change It would be nice to have a centralized client-settings management. At the moment, the client settings have to be changed individually. I've used it since 2011. The deployment of the new server…

Unified monitoring has improved event handling but needs stronger AI automation and modern dashboards
OpenText AI Operations Management could benefit from a fully integrated AI system, which we call AIOps. A fully integrated AI operations system would be valuable in the future. Additionally, the UI experience could be more comfortable. We are not using predictive features in OpenText AI Operations Management such as anomaly detection. In the future, we may be able to operate with our customer, but we need to decide this collectively. You need to see the big picture and understand what the customer's pain points are to find the right tuning. Normally, predictive features can be more useful, but this is an end-to-end solution that needs to be customized. You need to understand the exact customer needs. The predictive analytics feature is very close to being integrated, but it is not fully integrated at this time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to setup and the plugins are easy to write."
"OpenText AI Operations Management has an agent system where you can directly add plugins and collect metrics and logs, and it is really difficult to collect these kinds of things such as metric data with other systems, but it is easier with this platform."
"It is stable."
"My customers are happy and satisfied with the monitoring capabilities that give them a more precise picture of company performance."
"I rate OpenText Operations Bridge as a solid nine on a scale of one to ten."
"Compared to other products on the market today, I think it's the best in terms of architecture and capabilities."
"We have a bunch of critical servers and applications, and we are able to monitor using this product to create a dashboard and have automatic alerts to notify the responsible team."
"It's a very good product overall."
"In Micro Focus OBM, everything was controlled at the node level and now everything can be controlled at the console level."
 

Cons

"Deploying an agent leaves much to be desired."
"The advancement of this solution seems to have stalled."
"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."
"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."
"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 pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"There are pretty heavy limits on what the system can do."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"The product and the UI need updating. Everything about the user experience needs updating."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
"The cost is very high."
"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
"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."
"It is competitive."
"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."
