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."Provides good dashboard visualization."
"We like the alert features."
"Great capacity planning and the solution has a great GUI."
"The most valuable feature of Grafana is the ease to build dashboards from observability construction. Additionally, the page services and integration are good."
"Plugin: Connecting Grafana to multiple APIs of leading monitoring tools and alerting tools."
"We can write queries in different languages, which is beneficial for visualization."
"Grafana's best features are live monitoring and alerts."
"The solution can scale well."
"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."
"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."
"Simple deployment: The deployment uses protocols such as NetBios, SSH, WMI, SNMP, which means that any device with any of these protocols will be monitored."
"It can monitor over a 100 technologies with built-in solution templates."
"It's easy to template standard monitoring configurations, and automate monitoring configuration."
"Simplest tool for monitoring servers, web content, databases and other hardware. Its dashboard is really good."
"Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"It's a very flexible product so you can run a script out of it, even straight out of the box."
"Grafana doesn't provide anything for reporting."
"Lacks in-depth graphs and sufficient AI."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The formatting could be better."
"I find issues with Grafana. For example, I am unable to open some services there. Then, we have to open ten different tabs to get it fixed. And it's annoying when there's something going on; we want to check Grafana, and it throws four different errors."
"More dashboard is required, out-of-the-box, for OpenNMS."
"The solution should include online support."
"The solution has room for improvement with a better API to help automate the construction of the dashboards easier."
"More out of the box Cloud integration and capabilities."
"The tool needs to support new technologies like Kubernetes. It also needs to improve scalability."
"They need to offer better technical support, which, right now, is not helpful or responsive."
"SiteScope isn't productive if you want to monitor RAM or if you want to monitor some URL."
"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."
"They should provide more templates for new vendor devices."
"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."
"The graphs and dashboard in the solution are areas that need improvement."
