Featured Reviews

it_user592602 - PeerSpot reviewer
The vendor is willing to work with us and develop solutions for products they did not already have an integration for.
As with any new software implementation, during the integration we found a couple of minor issues when integrating certain products (such as SCOM). However, each time this happened Evanios was very quick to identify the bug we were seeing, patch it and provide the new update set for us to install. Also, during the evaluation of Evanios we found that they already had integrations with most of our larger monitoring tools, however they also stated that they would be able to create update sets to integrate certain products we used that they did not currently support. This proved to be very valuable for us because they were able to become an even better fit for our organization by creating update sets\integrations for PRTG, Quest Foglight, TIBCO and Thousand Eyes as well.

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

"Provided up to a 90% noise reduction in some our noisy monitoring tools."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with various alert-generating systems because you might have synthetic alerts or monitoring alerts for volume drops."
"The ability to manipulate events via JavaScript getting the exact data that we want."
"It's a very good product overall."
"This solution worked as an umbrella for many different types of monitoring systems, offering various tools for not only application performance management models but also user experience models and monitoring business processes."
"The broad integration possibilities, I'd say, with any kind of product, are probably the most valuable feature."
"I've found the solution to be very scalable."
"We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."
"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."
"From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software."
"The most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard."
 

Cons

"The price could be cheaper."
"We would like the ability to have an "exit" option for events when they are being processed."
"More complex correlation rules would be nice. The ability to clearly define a parent event in a correlation and nested correlations, specifically."
"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The initial setup is 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."
"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."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"We are waiting for quicker release cycles. Also containerized upgrade, so that you don't have to bring a system entirely down to make a minor upgrade, in fact, or a minor patch."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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