"The insight it gives into the applications that it's actually applied to, and the flexibility to do many things with those metrics, and also feed your own metrics from external sources."
"This application pulls data in 15 seconds. You can imagine the enormous amount of data which streams through."
"Being able to pull in and merge the infrastructure and application data."
"It is very useful and helpful with the analysis of historical performance data."
"With the new feature CA Team Center is much easier to view the information of my user experience, with this unified vision, it was even practical for lay users to use the tool"
"Some of its valuable features include transaction traces, dashboards, and metric grouping to see combined data."
"Simplest tool for monitoring servers, web content, databases and other hardware. Its dashboard is really good."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText SiteScope is that it is easy to manage and user-friendly."
"Has a simple setup. It can be up and running within hours."
"Being able to create your monitors for monitoring your internal URLs and databases and other things like that is valuable."
"The tool has capabilities other than managing web-based applications, like URL Monitor and EPI Script. It is also easy to use the tool."
"Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"The URL monitoring is excellent."
"The product's ability to monitor systems and applications and send alerts and create support tickets are the most valuable features of the product."
"Technical support is slow to respond and also asks redundant questions."
"The interface is getting a little old."
"Needs the ability to dynamically create dashboards. Right now, we do custom dashboards. Everything is created manually."
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"As applications move to the cloud, we need more cloud-based solutions from CA APM. This is currently unavailable."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Issue resolution needs to be faster, rather than having users wait for the next release for issues to be fixed."
"The solution still needs the administrator of APM to know a lot more to configure and control everything. So it's a headache for the administrator to do the daily jobs."
"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."
"It could be more reliable using a database repository instead of a log repository."
"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."
"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."
"They should provide more templates for new vendor devices."
"The lack of an agent means that remote monitoring requires multiple firewall ports to be opened."
"Full application functionality available via the API. There are some functions you can perform managing monitors, that are only available through the UI."
"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."
