Ahmed Salman - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Great integrations, power flow, and good support
They need a little more self-service. Some of the places where there's still a dependency on defense logic. If those could be eliminated, that would be ideal. They've done a fantastic job eliminating a lot of those dependencies and there's a lot of self-service. However, some of the areas where we could have it connect to, for example, Splunk or ServiceNow, in a self-care version versus having to go back to their engineers, that's an area where they could do a little more. There are still a lot of engineers who get involved versus if it's a little more API-driven and self-served dashboard connections. Doing it the other way would just make life easier for users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"I've found the solution to be very scalable."
"The broad integration possibilities, I'd say, with any kind of product, are probably the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable aspect of Operations Bridge for us is its integration capabilities."
"It's a very good product overall."
"The integration with the ticketing tool makes sure that there is a record for every issue."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with everything."
"The preloaded rules and ways to monitor your systems are a must."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"Power packs."
"It is simple."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"The flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs."
 

Cons

"I know that in the next version, X1005, they're moving to more graphical overviews, which should help our senior managers."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"We need improvements in delivering quality reports from OBM and in integrating Operations Bridge with other components like UCMDB for asset discovery."
"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 could be improved."
"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."
"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"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."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"They should add CLI command modes​ and scripts for high performance."
 

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)."
"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."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"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."
"It is competitive."
"The cost is very high."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"I'm not the best person to discuss pricing, but what I do know is that it's a use-and-go structure. You use this much storage and pay this much for it. That's how it is. Every time, we continue to add a large amount of data to the environment."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
