"With Google Analytics, you choose what performance metrics you want to have reported, but with AppPulse Mobile, you have a global vision of what is really happening inside your app."
"The thing that I like about AppPulse is that it's easy application to install and an easy application to use to provide information for our customers."
"AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications."
"It provides a lot of customer insight, understanding the customer's needs, understanding the customer's issues, and it gives me a more proactive approach to solving a customer problem before it happens."
"Customer are able to develop more quickly versions in which users can see the application to correct and monetize it."
"It identifies transactions and flows of the operations that our customers use with our mobile application."
"We can collect data about the user experience and see how the user is behaving with the app, or check the behavior of the app itself."
"It has multiple monitors that can be deployed OOTB, which includes basic system monitors for CPU, Disk, Memory, NIC's, etc."
"It's easy to template standard monitoring configurations, and automate monitoring configuration."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText SiteScope is that it is easy to manage and user-friendly."
"SiteScope has built-in flat file DB, hence it removes the dependency of an external DB for higher stability."
"Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of SiteScope is its infrastructure monitoring."
"The stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is good."
"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."
"Currently, the information for management teams and technical teams are in the same view, but it would be useful if we could separate these views."
"The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment."
"I would love if AppPulse delivered more details about my users, for example, age and sex. It could split up the users into categories based on how frequently they use my product."
"The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."
"It could be better if you had any of the reports that the customers asked from us, for example, punctually. Unfortunately, the reporter is not that practical."
"It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile."
"I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization."
"The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."
"The lack of an agent means that remote monitoring requires multiple firewall ports to be opened."
"Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope could improve by adding more features, such as cloud, APM, and DevOps monitoring."
"The graphs and dashboard in the solution are areas that need improvement."
"It may lack some features other products in the category have like more detailed transaction tracking."
"More out of the box Cloud integration and capabilities."
"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."
"In terms of issues with Micro Focus SiteScope, some that we've run into were unintended, for example, extra executions of monitors and some false alerts when there were problems connecting to endpoints or there were issues with the application that sometimes resulted in false positives. We had a few issues with the way time zones were configured when the system time differed from the time indicated during the monitoring, but those were just little things that weren't too bad. As far as the limitations of Micro Focus SiteScope, the types of scripting files that can be executed are rather limited unless you go to some third-party plugins. These are the areas for improvement in the solution."
"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."
