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."Azure Monitor is really just a source for Dynatrace. It's just collecting data and monitoring the environment and the infrastructure. It is fairly good at that."
"I am impressed by the reporting on the average eight ports that we get from this solution."
"It's a service from Microsoft, so it will scale."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the alert system, which can be set according to our metrics. The integration is smooth."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Log analytics and log queries are the most valuable features of Azure Monitor."
"Data exporting is easy, and this tool works seamlessly with other solutions. It's a stable and low-priced solution."
"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 stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is good."
"It's a very flexible product so you can run a script out of it, even straight out of the box."
"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."
"It has multiple monitors that can be deployed OOTB, which includes basic system monitors for CPU, Disk, Memory, NIC's, etc."
"The tool has capabilities other than managing web-based applications, like URL Monitor and EPI Script. It is also easy to use the tool."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText SiteScope is that it is easy to manage and user-friendly."
"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."
"Has a simple setup. It can be up and running within hours."
"This solution has fewer features than some of its competitors, so adding more features to it would make it better."
"It might not have all of the capabilities we will need."
"In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs."
"have used multiple products like Webex and PRTG. Some features could be added. Azure Monitor should add SMS and APIs. We have very limited access to Azure Monitor. I usually get alerts on my phone when they are integrated with Slack. I am not always available, but my team is. Sometimes, I am traveling and don't have access to my email, but I have Slack and other third-party projects that send me instant messages if a sensor goes down."
"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."
"Azure Monitor is not user-friendly, and the interface is not exciting. Switching between the dashboards is not easy."
"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"The solution's monitoring feature has limitations for analyzing multiple metrics."
"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."
"They should provide more templates for new vendor devices."
"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."
"The lack of an agent means that remote monitoring requires multiple firewall ports to be opened."
"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."
"Sometimes in a huge environment, I think the documentation does not provide the required calculations so you can't know what the required set up should be. You need to test."
