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 stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is good."
"Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"The Monitor Templates functionality allowed us to spin up monitoring with .csv files pretty easily."
"Being able to create your monitors for monitoring your internal URLs and databases and other things like that is valuable."
"The URL monitoring is excellent."
"It's a very flexible product so you can run a script out of it, even straight out of the box."
"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."
"This solution helps our application teams by allowing them to drill further into issues and perform a root cause analysis."
"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process. The system tells you what the bi-weekly or monthly usage was and that enables us to report this information to the manager. It shows if there was a connectivity issue that needs to be fixed and it's easier to concentrate on what needs to get fixed. System errors, therefore, get fixed faster."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"It takes a lot of the headache out of managing your data centers and software in other places."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"The most valuable features in SCOM are Azure monitoring and integration with Azure Monitor for monitoring Azure-hosted servers from SCOM on-premises."
"This solution satisfies all of the requirements that we need for our Windows-based systems, so if you are using the Windows platform then this is an easy solution."
"More out of the box Cloud integration and capabilities."
"Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope could improve by adding more features, such as cloud, APM, and DevOps monitoring."
"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."
"It could be more reliable using a database repository instead of a log repository."
"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."
"The graphs and dashboard in the solution are areas that need improvement."
"The lack of an agent means that remote monitoring requires multiple firewall ports to be opened."
"SiteScope isn't productive if you want to monitor RAM or if you want to monitor some URL."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"Direct integration with third-party tools, like ticketing systems, is lacking but would be beneficial."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"Stability and some performance issues exist and they need improvement."
"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
"The solution should be more user-friendly and offer a better user interface."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
