Offers reliable Ops Agent and logging transport feature with easy third-party integrations

As part of our company, we implemented several changes in our log analytics pattern, including the storage and procurement process. Earlier, before implementing the solution, our company was able to procure only one year of data, but later, we came to the three-year mark. Around 15-20% reduction has been witnessed in the total analytic consumption of our company. The aforementioned result was possible because the solution allowed the creation of a dashboard where factors like storage costs, proportion of logs, and logs presence in a storage bucket or BigQuery can all be checked. Earlier all logs were stored in a raw storage, but currently our company is able to move logs in table bucket that contributes towards cost savings.

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

"Offers a valuable logging transport feature"

"It's easy to use."

"The cloud login enables us to get our logs from the different platforms that we currently use."

"The features that I have found most valuable are its graphs - if I need any statistics, in Kubernetes or Kong level or VPN level, I can quickly get the reports."

"The most valuable feature is the multi-cloud integration, where there is support for both GCP and AWS."

"Provides visibility into the performance uptime."

"Our company has a corporate account for Google Cloud and so our systems and clusters integrate really well."

"We find the solution to be stable."

More Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) pros

"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."

"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 most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard."

"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."

"Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."

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

"The preloaded rules and ways to monitor your systems are a must."

"We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems."

More OpenText Operations Bridge pros

Cons

"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."

"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."

"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."

"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace."

"It could be more stable."

"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."

"It could be even more automated."

"The process of logging analytics can be improved"

More Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) cons

"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."

"The initial setup is a little bit complex."

"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."

"I know that in the next version, X1005, they're moving to more graphical overviews, which should help our senior managers."

"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."

"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 of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."

"Reporting has to be tackled a bit more. Conceptually, it is there and conceptually it is amazing, but somehow the module itself is suffering."

More OpenText Operations Bridge cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost could be lower."

"We have a basic standard license without any additional costs."

"The cost of using Stackdriver depends on usage."

"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 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."

"It is competitive."

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

"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)."

Overview

Real-time log management and analysis

Cloud Logging is a fully managed service that performs at scale and can ingest application and platform log data, as well as custom log data from GKE environments, VMs, and other services inside and outside of Google Cloud. Get advanced performance, troubleshooting, security, and business insights with Log Analytics, integrating the power of BigQuery into Cloud Logging.

Built-in metrics observability at scale

Cloud Monitoring provides visibility into the performance, uptime, and overall health of cloud-powered applications. Collect metrics, events, and metadata from Google Cloud services, hosted uptime probes, application instrumentation, and a variety of common application components. Visualize this data on charts and dashboards and create alerts so you are notified when metrics are outside of expected ranges.

Stand-alone managed service for running and scaling Prometheus

Managed Service for Prometheus is a fully managed Prometheus-compatible monitoring solution, built on top of the same globally scalable data store as Cloud Monitoring. Keep your existing visualization, analysis, and alerting services, as this data can be queried with PromQL or Cloud Monitoring.

Monitor and improve your application's performance

Application Performance Management (APM) combines the monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities of Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring with Cloud Trace and Cloud Profiler to help you reduce latency and cost so you can run more efficient applications.

OpenText Operations Bridge – SaaS is enterprise event and performance management software. With automated discovery, monitoring, and remediation, it fast-tracks your move to full-stack AIOps across multicloud and on- premises environments.
