We performed a comparison between Datadog 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."Datadog documentation on web pages has improved a lot and is pretty easy to follow and find."
"The performance of Datadog is good."
"Datadog is providing efficiency in the products we develop for the wireless device engineering department."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the elastic container service."
"The solution's SaaS model is easy to manage and works well in single- or multi-cloud environments."
"The dashboards and the performance of the software have been great."
"It provides more cloud data. They tend to just get the way a service would be designed on the cloud."
"The most valuable features are the dashboards and the reporting."
"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."
"For the system environment, SiteScope can be useful."
"The most valuable feature of SiteScope is its infrastructure monitoring."
"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."
"Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"It's integrated with different monitoring tools, such as AppDynamics."
"The stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is good."
"I would like testing for data in the future."
"Stability of the product has been a concern for us outside of the primary monitoring agents."
"Lately, chat support has a longer waiting time."
"The logging could be improved in the future."
"Deploying the agents is still very manual."
"We have contact with many customers that cover many areas, so we have cases where the infrastructure administration could be improved."
"Their security features could be improved. We looked at their Security Monitoring feature but it was early in its development. Datadog are just getting into the security space so I'm sure this will improve in the future."
"I would love to see support for front-end and mobile applications. Right now, it is mostly all back-end stuff. Being able to do some integration with our front-end products would be awesome."
"SiteScope isn't productive if you want to monitor RAM or if you want to monitor some URL."
"They should provide more templates for new vendor devices."
"It could be more reliable using a database repository instead of a log repository."
"The tool needs to support new technologies like Kubernetes. It also needs to improve scalability."
"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."
"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."
"More out of the box Cloud integration and capabilities."
"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."
