A powerful Kusto query language but the alerting mechanism needs improvement

Our company is a service integrator and we use the solution to monitor logs, metrics, and applications for customers. We have 200 users throughout our company. The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use. We can do metric monitoring, log monitoring, and prepare queries to…

Has instrument analysis and anomaly control features that help indicate root causes and problems with your infrastructure

I have experience with other solutions apart from Micro Focus Operations Bridge, for example, NetIQ Operations Center and NetIQ AppManager. I also have experience with network performance monitoring solutions, for example, Microsoft SCOM, and some open-source products, such as Nagios and Zabbix. What makes Micro Focus Operations Bridge better than others is that it works as an umbrella and includes different models for different types of monitoring. At the same time, an open-source product does not give you this kind of functionality. Instead, an open-source product only gives you classic monitoring functionalities in some areas of network performance but not for all areas of monitoring solutions or infrastructure. Microsoft SCOM, at the moment, has many new features, and it's similar to Micro Focus which focuses on network performance and traffic monitoring, so my company uses it together with Micro Focus for monitoring.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution integrates well with the Microsoft platform."

"Azure Monitor gives us the observability to check everything that we have in the cloud."

"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."

"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and support for multiple environments"

"It's a service from Microsoft, so it will scale."

"Among the valuable features of this solution, Application Insights stands out as one of the most significant. It provides insights into application performance and helps identify issues and bottlenecks."

"The most valuable features of Azure Monitor are the login analytics workspace and we can write any kind of custom queries in order to receive the data that is inserted into the login analytics workspace, diagnostic settings, et cetera."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

More Azure Monitor pros

"The most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with everything."

"It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."

"We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."

"The broad integration possibilities, I'd say, with any kind of product, are probably the most valuable feature."

"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."

"It's a very good product overall."

"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."

"The event correlation is the most valuable aspect of the solution."

More OpenText Operations Bridge pros

Cons

"No improvements are needed from my perspective."

"Setting up this solution is complex. It's also missing the functionality of assigning alerts."

"The solution should have cross-connection or cross-communication between tech partners."

"Although it's not always the case, the price can sometimes get expensive. This depends on a number of factors, such as how many services you are trying to integrate with Azure Monitor and how much storage they're consuming each month (for example, how large are the log files?)."

"We cannot use AI services with the solution."

"The process of implementation needs to be easier."

"It's really complex to retrieve or query the logs in Azure Monitor."

"Azure Monitor could improve the visualization aspect and integrate better with other third-party services."

More Azure Monitor cons

"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."

"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."

"The pricing could be improved."

"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."

"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."

"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."

"Our issues are largely support related due to where we are and the knowledge base that we have here. This issue relates both HPE in general and to the technical products."

"The initial setup is a little bit complex."

More OpenText Operations Bridge cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a pay-as-you-go model. I find it very cost-effective."

"Azure Monitor is cheaper compared to other third-party monitoring tools."

"Azure Monitor is a competitively priced solution."

"The tool is expensive."

"Its cost depends on the ingestion of the logs. It could go anywhere. For an out-of-the-box platform such as FrameFlow, you pay pretty much a fixed price and you get what you get, whereas, with something like Azure Monitor, you pay by the ingestion charge, so you can have one client who pays hardly anything for the same alerts, and another client pays loads and loads."

"I would rate Azure Monitor a two out of five for affordability."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"The product offers a pay-as-you-go model to users. The charges are to be paid according to the usage of the product."

More Azure Monitor pricing and cost advice

"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)."

"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."

"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."

"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."

"The cost is very high."
