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

"It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."
"It has greatly reduced the number and duration of outages as support teams are notified immediately when something goes wrong or even before something breaks."
"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"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 its ability to integrate with everything."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam is that the restoration is easy and reliable."
"It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"One person can manage parameters."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
"It is a stable product with useful snapshot and replication features."
 

Cons

"Implementation could be improved."
"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."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"The pricing could be improved."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"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 setup process can get a little bit complex."
"Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"SureBackup is sometimes a bit difficult to use."
"For our company's usage, the price of the product is considered to be one of the major drawbacks because we have a lot of infrastructure, and its services don't fit well with our needs."
"They have an integration with MS SQL, and you have to license MS SQL. This is something they need to change. They should go for an open-source database or a free SQL because you're already buying this product, and you shouldn't have to buy another product."
"Pricing can be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the application backups, particularly for Oracle and SaaS systems. Veeam Backup & Replication offers a plugin specifically designed for Oracle and SAP HANA databases. In version twelve, they introduced enhancements that allow deploying the plugin from the backup server. However, manual configuration is still required on each server to schedule the backup and specify the backup repository. Additionally, transitioning from a Windows server to a Linux server requires converting the existing model. Previously, Veeam heavily relied on Windows and Microsoft SQL databases for their solution. Fortunately, in version twelve, they introduced an enhancement by offering the option to use a Postgres SQL database, which is an open-source alternative."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups or snapshots. That's a nice functionality that Veeam doesn't have."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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)."
"It is competitive."
"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."
"It is relatively cheap."
"I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on."
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"It is not expensive and I would rate it five out of ten."
"The price of the solution is high."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication could be reduced. The customers are looking at other products because the price is higher than some of the competition."
"Its software solution has a fee."
"I don't know what the costs are for sure, but I think that it's on a yearly basis."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
