Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is stable.""The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events.""Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets.""It's a very good product overall.""The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus.""It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure.""From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software.""The event correlation is the most valuable aspect of the solution."

"Its dashboard is valuable. If you have a good knowledge of how to create a dashboard, you can create any dashboard related to cybersecurity. If fine-tuned, the alarms that are triggered for instant review are also very valuable and useful.""The level of robustness on offer is very good.""The ability to rapidly diagnose problems in production and non-production, across hundreds of log files, is the most valuable feature.""This solution helps us increase our productivity.""It is very scalable.""It has a big user base, so the community is useful.""I like the ease with which dashboards can be created.""Deployment server for deploying changes in one go."

Cons
"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources.""The setup process can get a little bit complex.""Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling.""The initial setup is a little bit complex.""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.""The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it.""Installing and upgrading the HPOM and Operations Agent software is not always easy and the process can be quite fragile. Once it is running, it is very quick and stable, but an upgrade can quite easily break something or terminate unexpectedly.""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."

More OpenText Operations Bridge Cons →

"The UI can be improved. Dashboards and reports can be better in terms of graphics.""The historical data extraction needs improvement. I would like the capability of taking data and having it trend longer.""The product was difficult to back up the first time.""We'd like to have the number of devices covered under the license to be increased.""The GUI could be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have. The layout is a little restrictive where you can’t resize all the panels to exactly how you would like them without tweaking some XML code.""Its interface and usability can always be improved.""The tool itself is very difficult to configure. It's great for its number of inputs, for the different types of systems devices, and things that it could collect information from. To actually make good use of it, you need a fairly dedicated team of people that have some reasonably good programming or modeling skills to be able to do the things that you need to do with it. Whereas a lot of the other tools are better packaged for that, and so require a lot less training and a lot less dedication.""The GUI can be improved to include some of the capabilities that other BI solutions have."
