We performed a comparison between Grafana 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."The best thing about Grafana is the visualization. The colors and the ease of use make it very user-friendly."
"The solution can scale well."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the UI dashboard because we need to create a dashboard on Grafana to monitor our data."
"Visualisation: It is easy to create beautiful, understanding graphs, snapshots to share the graphs with people who do not have access to Grafana, and templating to create powerful graphs."
"Great capacity planning and the solution has a great GUI."
"The comparison feature is very good."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"It is a stable, reliable product."
"The Monitor Templates functionality allowed us to spin up monitoring with .csv files pretty easily."
"Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"The stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is good."
"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."
"The product's ability to monitor systems and applications and send alerts and create support tickets are the most valuable features of the product."
"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."
"For the system environment, SiteScope can be useful."
"It's integrated with different monitoring tools, such as AppDynamics."
"If there was an issue on one node, we couldn't drill down and see all the issues on other nodes."
"It's difficult to see the trends on the graph when the range is too long."
"There are some areas of network drives that are not showing as expected based on server usage."
"Lacks event management which affects our DevOps people."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"Grafana doesn't provide anything for reporting."
"Writing queries can be a bit difficult because the syntax must be maintained."
"I have a problem with Grafana in the area of documentation."
"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."
"I would be very interested in having transaction traceability included in the product, to give us a better view of what is really going wrong in a particular method and action."
"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."
"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."
"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 tool needs to support new technologies like Kubernetes. It also needs to improve scalability."
"We'd like a uniform interface for monitoring our system, since that's the purpose of SiteScope."
"They should provide more templates for new vendor devices."
