We performed a comparison between OpenText Operations Bridge and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Operations Analytics solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."
"It is stable."
"From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software."
"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"I've found the solution to be very scalable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"Good for log collection and log management."
"The breadth of the data sources that Splunk can ingest data from is broad and deep and it does an exemplary job at handling structured data."
"You can run reports against multiple devices at the same time. You are able to troubleshoot a single application on a thousand servers. You can do this with a single query, since it is very easy to do."
"It is the best tool if you have a complex environment or if data ingestion is too huge."
"The alerts are very effective."
"The most valuable feature is the log aggregation, being able to scan through all of the logs."
"The visibility is amazing with easy dashboard creation."
"Splunk Enterprise Security helped us with faster detection of threats."
"The pricing could be improved."
"In a future release, we would like an improved upgrade process. When you upgrade it now, it first uninstalls everything and then reinstalls all the packages, which means any customization that you've done in the directories on the surface disappears."
"I know that in the next version, X1005, they're moving to more graphical overviews, which should help our senior managers."
"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
"Implementation could be improved."
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."
"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."
"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."
"It requires a significant amount of relatively complex architecture once you push past the single server instance."
"They can incorporate the SOAR solution within the actual product so that we do not require two different products, two different installations, and two different pricing methods. In regards to UBA, I am familiar with the UBA that existed two years ago. I am not updated about it today, but two years ago, UBA required such an amount of data that from a cost perspective, it was not worth it. When you compare it to what you get out of the box with Microsoft Sentinel without additional costs, there is no match."
"We'd like to have the number of devices covered under the license to be increased."
"The monitoring aspect of Splunk could be improved. We have to do some queries to get as much information as CrowdStrike or other solutions provide. If you run a big query, you will see a delay. That is the only concern we have because it will take some time if you query large data sets."
"Their technical support sucks."
"The product is relatively expensive."
"The product's price may be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Splunk is very expensive. The license is based on the volume of the logs ingested. I was responsible for managing the contract with our service integrator. I don't know the precise details of the competing solution, but I have heard that Splunk is more expensive than others. I don't know what the going rate is on the market, but I think there are at least two competitors that are less expensive. We have experienced a few issues with our service providers in terms of log filtering and ingestion, so we continue to pay a bit more per day for our logs."
