OpenText Business Process Monitor vs. OpenText Operations Bridge

It is really good to have Business Process Monitor for being proactive with monitoring critical business services. And it is even more recommended along with APM. However, you will still need some training in order to configure them as they are sophisticated tools.

Any customer who is looking for a unified monitoring solution with event Management and also looking for AIOPs. Good coverage of technologies coverage, however if any customer looking for better dashboarding solution then it may not fit. thou MF got BVD but it seems like more complex

• Being proactive in monitoring critical business services.
• Uses pre-saved scripts using Vugen.
• Almost all protocols are supported by it.

Incentivized

• The software includes several user-friendly features, such as a customized dashboard, drag-and-drop event management, and an integrated knowledge base.
• If you are considering purchasing a product, keep Micro Focus Operations Bridge in mind before making a purchasing decision.
• In addition, the purpose of the product is comprehensive, which means it will benefit your business in many ways.

• It depends heavily on Vugen so it would be great to give more courses on writing scripts in the Business Process Monitor trainings.
• When issues arise, we don't have insights into if the issue is from the script itself or if it is a real issue. Here you lose trust in determining which is right until you interfere personally. As an example, one day I got an alert from a business server and the issue was that the script didn't finish successfully and thus it kept the session opened. So the next schedule of the script will fail, not because there is a real issue on the business service, but because you need to go yourself open the application, close all pages, then log out so that the script will continue to monitor.
