We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and OpenText Operations Bridge based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's event management capabilities are fantastic. We do a best of breed. If, on the network side, they use a different tool, we pull all that data in so that we have a single console. It's kind of like the monitor of monitors. We're able to aggregate all the different types of data sets, whether it's log data, app data, OS data, infrastructure data, or network data. We're able to aggregate all those events and then correlate and be able to say we're having an event."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"It provides common administration, and a Single Sign-On Platform with RBAC, which eases the cross launch between multiple tools"
"The most valuable features of BMC TrueSight Operations Management are the blackouts and event management."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"The event management part of TrueSight Operations Management, in my experience, is probably the best in the market. You have endless flexibility. You can build your own rules, you have the MRL language, and you can implement any kind of logic on the alerts. It may be correlation, abstraction, or executing something as a result of the alerts. You have almost the whole range of options available for event management using the available customization."
"The event management tool builds correlation logic and protection algorithms into a field of events that is valuable when a data center goes down."
"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"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."
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."
"We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software."
"It is stable."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with everything."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"The dashboards are not good. We have a limited dashboard, and if we want better dashboards, we need to use other solutions like Grafana because the TrueSight dashboards are not good."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Implementation could be improved."
"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"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."
"The deployment of agents on new CI should be improved. There should be some kind of automation to directly deploy them from the console. It can maybe have some more AI functions because most of the other tools are going in that direction."
