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."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 features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"The preloaded rules and ways to monitor your systems are a must."
"It allows us to build dashboards for individual parts of the business. Our team members appreciate that they can just get a view of their part of the world without having to worry about anyone else's."
"The broad integration possibilities, I'd say, with any kind of product, are probably the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with everything."
"The level of robustness on offer is very good."
"I like the Splunk dashboard and search engine."
"The most valuable features of the solution are it is straightforward to use and the documentation is good for finding out how to get the data you are looking for."
"The correlation search functions that generate all the notables are valuable. That can get pretty complicated, and it handles that pretty well."
"We can extract the metrics we want on the dashboards. We are able to react to the incidents."
"The UI of Splunk makes it easier for our analysts to move around and see what they need to see."
"We have a one stop dashboard for health of some of our services where you can click in and it takes you to other dashboards that have custom near real-time metrics that show the application's health."
"Its huge, versatile AppBase helped me to configure and bring data from different sources to a unified platform."
"Implementation could be improved."
"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"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."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It's difficult to set up initially, and their billing model is also a bit complicated."
"Search head clustering is often temperamental in its current state and should be improved, replaced by something better, or be reverted to search head pooling."
"The solution has a high learning curve for users. It's a little complicated when you're trying to figure out all the features and what they do."
"There is improvement needed when importing from some types of data sources."
"While Splunk Enterprise Security offers valuable features, its cost is high and could be more competitive."
"Sometimes, the data does not match what we're looking for, or the tool contains incorrect data."
"Its reporting can be improved. That's the only complaint I have heard. I don't need the reporting part, but I know that other people in the organization need it."
"Endpoint access is the only issue I can think to mention, even though the endpoint access we have with Cisco is fine."
