We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management 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."If there's something that you really need to get at that doesn't come out of the box, you can pretty easily put together some custom metrics and get those in place."
"The CA tools allow to me to get into detailed transactions for custom ranking, and be able to make predictions. It also gathers data. Some other tools may be good at one area, but not good overall, including the mainframe."
"It is very useful and helpful with the analysis of historical performance data."
"I found the solution's end-to-end analysis and flexibility most valuable."
"For me, the most valuable feature is being able to check memory patterns. We check them when we do load testing or soak testing to see if there are any memory leaks."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is its user interface."
"The time it takes to track problems in applications is the most valuable return that we have from this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is its very light model with monitoring of servers and network items."
"The product's ability to monitor systems and applications and send alerts and create support tickets are the most valuable features of the product."
"The most valuable feature of SiteScope is its infrastructure monitoring."
"There's no agent you need installed on the servers. In our environment, we have some servers out of our control so we cannot manage them. We use SiteScope to monitor the availability, the resources on the servers, etc. This allows us to do this job without installing agents so there's no need to take care of anything on the server."
"It's a very flexible product so you can run a script out of it, even straight out of the box."
"Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"It's integrated with different monitoring tools, such as AppDynamics."
"The URL monitoring is excellent."
"Being able to create your monitors for monitoring your internal URLs and databases and other things like that is valuable."
"The APM upgrade procedure is a bit complicated with compatibility issues which can emerge like between agents and EM/Collectors."
"The integration with CA Spectrum is quite difficult to create, and it is also only one way, only being used to view alarms coming from CA APM."
"It should be easier to install or set everything up. "
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"CEM needs to be simplified, because it causes too many interruptions in our daily work."
"The product displays some graphics and sometimes we want to have some different metrics in the same graphic but it doesn't display in the same scale, so it's quite complicated to see the metrics. If the product would be able to manage a double scale, it would be perfect."
"Support could be much better."
"They can make it easier to configure."
"They should provide more templates for new vendor devices."
"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."
"We have four or five data centers around North America where we have it deployed into a single or a two-server primary backup type of deployment. All those are made available under a single GUI provided by Micro Focus that allows you to put them all together. A room for improvement would be an appliance or a server that would manage all of our other servers so that I don't have to remember to log on to all different servers and data centers. I could manage them from a single location."
"More out of the box Cloud integration and capabilities."
"You can use OpenText SiteScope for small or middle environments. But if you want to monitor a large environment, it is not scalable. If you can monitor a large environment with OpenText SiteScope, it can be a valuable product."
"Sometimes in a huge environment, I think the documentation does not provide the required calculations so you can't know what the required set up should be. You need to test."
"Full application functionality available via the API. There are some functions you can perform managing monitors, that are only available through the UI."
"The tool needs to support new technologies like Kubernetes. It also needs to improve scalability."
