OpenText Operations Bridge vs. Zenoss

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

Overall I would say that we have been very happy with Zenoss. It has been a great server monitoring tool. There are certain aspects that we would like to expand into, such as Capacity Planning, Network Performance Monitoring, and log analysis. We have coupled Zenoss logs with Splunk for external log management, but would like to start using some of the built-in analysis tools.
