We performed a comparison between OpenText SiteScope and Oracle Enterprise Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Simplest tool for monitoring servers, web content, databases and other hardware. Its dashboard is really good."
"The product's ability to monitor systems and applications and send alerts and create support tickets are the most valuable features of the product."
"Our experiences with Micro Focus SiteScope have been mostly positive as we can easily work with multiple monitors and different types of monitors pretty quickly. There are a lot of out-of-the-box solutions for us through Micro Focus SiteScope, so we don't have to do that much custom coding for the vast majority of requests that we get for monitoring. There are some limitations that we've run into and some problems every once in a while, but they've been relatively minor."
"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 easy to template standard monitoring configurations, and automate monitoring configuration."
"Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"Has a simple setup. It can be up and running within hours."
"It's integrated with different monitoring tools, such as AppDynamics."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"Some of the most valuable features are its real-time performance view/dashboard, metric history, real-time monitoring and alerts, as well as quick access to Oracle's tuning and diagnostic options."
"It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do."
"The dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"We use it extensively for performance tuning testing, monitoring, and configuration."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
"They need to offer better technical support, which, right now, is not helpful or responsive."
"The tool needs to support new technologies like Kubernetes. It also needs to improve scalability."
"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."
"It may lack some features other products in the category have like more detailed transaction tracking."
"Direct integration with an SMS gateway for sending critical alerts to the support SME. This will help customer investing in third party middleware solutions for SMS."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"We could use it but definitely with some effort we can streamline much better and sometimes some box here and there, like 13C you have to really wait, but there are great features. Just have to make sure it is a stable product."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager six out of 10 for affordability. It's expensive."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"The deployment is not straightforward."
