We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor 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."It has good troubleshooting features."
"The most valuable feature is that it's stable. It hasn't crossed any thresholds."
"The feature that I found most valuable in Azure Monitor is its monitoring abilities. With Azure Monitor, you are able to monitor all of your cloud resources across multiple subscriptions in one dashboard and create solution-specific alerts that can trigger an email to the team responsible for that specific solution."
"The solution very easily integrates with Azure services and in one click you can monitor your resource."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"Technical support is good and helpful...The initial setup is easy."
"Log analytics and log queries are the most valuable features of Azure Monitor."
"The tool has capabilities other than managing web-based applications, like URL Monitor and EPI Script. It is also easy to use the tool."
"Simplest tool for monitoring servers, web content, databases and other hardware. Its dashboard is really good."
"It's easy to template standard monitoring configurations, and automate monitoring configuration."
"Has a simple setup. It can be up and running within hours."
"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."
"It can monitor over a 100 technologies with built-in solution templates."
"It's integrated with different monitoring tools, such as AppDynamics."
"The stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is good."
"As a younger product it still has room for feature improvement and enhancement."
"I need connectivity with cost management."
"The biggest one is probably just the user interface. There could be more advanced logging at the database level. They can also improve their query builder to allow you to search for things better, but I last used it about a year ago. They might have already changed a ton of things in the newer versions."
"The solution should have cross-connection or cross-communication between tech partners."
"They can simplify the overall complexity since you have multiple data sources in the cloud for monitoring. It's quite simple, but there are so many portals. It takes time to work with it. If they could simplify the user configuration, that would be good."
"They need to work on a more hybrid deployment that will allow us to monitor local on-premise deployments and connect to different systems. I would like to see more integration."
"In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs."
"Enhancing and reaching a level of detail that facilitates pinpointing and addressing issues at such a refined level within the application and database components would be helpful."
"It may lack some features other products in the category have like more detailed transaction tracking."
"It could be more reliable using a database repository instead of a log repository."
"The lack of an agent means that remote monitoring requires multiple firewall ports to be opened."
"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."
"The graphs and dashboard in the solution are areas that need improvement."
"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."
"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."
