Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."I like it that one can match IPs with the application name."
"The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code)."
"Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability."
"As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues."
"The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly."
"Transaction Tracing is the most useful. Being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable."
"We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integration with their other systems. It's easy to understand and it points out the relevant problems in the enterprise."
"The product's ability to monitor systems and applications and send alerts and create support tickets are the most valuable features of the product."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText SiteScope is that it is easy to manage and user-friendly."
"There's no agent you need installed on the servers. In our environment, we have some servers out of our control so we cannot manage them. We use SiteScope to monitor the availability, the resources on the servers, etc. This allows us to do this job without installing agents so there's no need to take care of anything on the server."
"The Monitor Templates functionality allowed us to spin up monitoring with .csv files pretty easily."
"It has multiple monitors that can be deployed OOTB, which includes basic system monitors for CPU, Disk, Memory, NIC's, etc."
"The stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is good."
"Has a simple setup. It can be up and running within hours."
"It's a very flexible product so you can run a script out of it, even straight out of the box."
"We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods."
"The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well."
"Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported."
"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."
"I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now."
"They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker."
"The technical support is not very good and should be improved."
"It would be great if the solution could offer fixed bundles and more features."
"They should provide more templates for new vendor devices."
"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."
"It could be more reliable using a database repository instead of a log repository."
"The lack of an agent means that remote monitoring requires multiple firewall ports to be opened."
"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."
"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."
"Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope could improve by adding more features, such as cloud, APM, and DevOps monitoring."
"They need to offer better technical support, which, right now, is not helpful or responsive."
