We performed a comparison between OpenText Operations Bridge and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"The event correlation is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."
"We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."
"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."
"We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems."
"SCOM has helped us to monitor all the VMs in our environment, especially the Windows servers."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"The stability has been great."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"Being able to make and customize management packs and send out notifications is very valuable."
"The solution is used for monitoring the hardware inventory. For instance, it helps with the whole operational monitoring view for the company's infrastructure."
"The product has helped our organization with in-depth monitoring."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"The setup process can get 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."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"I know that in the next version, X1005, they're moving to more graphical overviews, which should help our senior managers."
"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 service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"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."
"In terms of features that could be improved, I would say the agent integration into the operating system. We are having difficulties integrating Linux into some of the networking devices."
"The initial setup should be easier to complete."
"The price could be improved."
"System Center just provided upgrade and update features for Windows clients, and Windows systems, and did not support Linux, Android, or iOS, and other operating systems. They need to provide better integration with other operating systems if they don't already."
"Direct integration with third-party tools, like ticketing systems, is lacking but would be beneficial."
"The solution should have more tools for monitoring the cloud engine versus on-premise."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
