We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and OpenText SiteScope based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."AppDynamics is a good tool that offers excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and application topology."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's most valuable feature is the ability of the out-of-the-box to update the information, provide various metrics, and possibly include custom metrics."
"Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"The dashboards are very well-defined."
"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."
"Data monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."
"The product is easy to install, it took about half an hour. The use and the configurations are simple as well."
"For the system environment, SiteScope can be useful."
"The most valuable feature of SiteScope is its infrastructure monitoring."
"It's a very flexible product so you can run a script out of it, even straight out of the box."
"It can monitor over a 100 technologies with built-in solution templates."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText SiteScope is that it is easy to manage and user-friendly."
"The product's readymade templates are perfect. It supports us a lot when we don't have much experience with the product. The templates offers us direction to proceed."
"VM monitoring is pretty good showing good visualizations of how VMs are operating within the context of all the VMs running on the same hypervisor."
"The URL monitoring is excellent."
"The solution should add some monitoring similar to Oracle monitoring tools for databases. It has a lot of features to monitor SQL queries, and make some recommendation to resolve it. AppDynamics is just monitoring for delays and doesn't provide any recommendations for that. It's a deficiency."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."
"The application end of AppDynamics Database Monitoring needs to improve by checking which applications consume licenses."
"I have found it sometimes a bit difficult to trace the transaction all the way through to the application. I'm not sure if that problem is on the database side or on the application side, but that would be something that I would like to be improved. The traceability from the application to the database, sometimes, is a bit of a challenge. If you're using AppDynamics, with the Java agent, for instance, you need to be able to trace it through."
"I believe they need to increase their level of visibility in the infrastructure, particularly in the infrastructure monitoring section, which currently lacks visibility."
"The networking monitor function could be better, we are not getting many details from it."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring would be improved with more support for microservices architecture."
"The setup, implementation and use are clumsy and need to be refined."
"In terms of issues with Micro Focus SiteScope, some that we've run into were unintended, for example, extra executions of monitors and some false alerts when there were problems connecting to endpoints or there were issues with the application that sometimes resulted in false positives. We had a few issues with the way time zones were configured when the system time differed from the time indicated during the monitoring, but those were just little things that weren't too bad. As far as the limitations of Micro Focus SiteScope, the types of scripting files that can be executed are rather limited unless you go to some third-party plugins. These are the areas for improvement in the solution."
"Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope could improve by adding more features, such as cloud, APM, and DevOps monitoring."
"More out of the box Cloud integration and capabilities."
"It could be more reliable using a database repository instead of a log repository."
"The graphs and dashboard in the solution are areas that need improvement."
"They should provide more templates for new vendor devices."
"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."
"They have not kept up with browser security requirements or advances in GUIs, they switched to a corruptible database architecture instead of text config files."
