We performed a comparison between AppDynamics 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."Autodiscovery of application topology, based on real user traffic."
"This is a stable product and we definitely plan to continue using it in the future."
"This solution not only provides answers but also provides sensor data. This allows us to quickly resolve issues that developers may take a long time to solve."
"The most valuable feature is the live reporting on the current health\performance of our application"
"AppDynamics has been stable."
"We can make custom alerts in our system for specific issues like high CPU utilization or application downtime."
"Capacity planning is, in my opinion, the most useful."
"It is a wonderful monitoring tool that manages various aspects such as system resources (CPU, RAM), mobile performance, and infrastructure monitoring."
"For the system environment, SiteScope can be useful."
"The product's ability to monitor systems and applications and send alerts and create support tickets are the most valuable features of the product."
"It can monitor over a 100 technologies with built-in solution templates."
"It has multiple monitors that can be deployed OOTB, which includes basic system monitors for CPU, Disk, Memory, NIC's, etc."
"The Monitor Templates functionality allowed us to spin up monitoring with .csv files pretty easily."
"Simplest tool for monitoring servers, web content, databases and other hardware. Its dashboard is really good."
"SiteScope has built-in flat file DB, hence it removes the dependency of an external DB for higher stability."
"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 training on the dashboards that is provided could be a little bit better, as could the use cases. They should have some good examples out there. As it is right now, I had to scour YouTube to find some stuff."
"The resolution time takes longer than expected."
"As per my experience, the drill-down feature can be improved at the class level."
"Needs more integration with applications suites, like Oracle Enterprise Server or BMC Remedy."
"I would like to see more of a unified platform. They're very, very new on the server side, machine agents. I want them to be more mature in this area."
"AppDynamics lacks integration with cloud technology. It probably isn't a good fit for emerging enterprises because it's an on-premise solution, and many newer companies are moving to the cloud. AppDynamics' on-premise technology works reasonably well, but it doesn't have cloud features."
"The solution could improve by covering more technologies. For example, it does support .NET Core applications. However, it could be a bit better."
"If AppDynamics could do a one-agent function with their actual monitoring effectiveness, it will be the greatest tool."
"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."
"SiteScope isn't productive if you want to monitor RAM or if you want to monitor some URL."
"More out of the box Cloud integration and capabilities."
"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."
"We'd like a uniform interface for monitoring our system, since that's the purpose of SiteScope."
"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."
"They should provide more templates for new vendor devices."
