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."Technical support is helpful."
"Among the valuable features of this solution, Application Insights stands out as one of the most significant. It provides insights into application performance and helps identify issues and bottlenecks."
"The solution works well overall. It's easy to implement and simple to use."
"The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use."
"Log analytics and log queries are the most valuable features of Azure Monitor."
"Azure Monitor gives us the observability to check everything that we have in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the universality of their functionalities in all Azure services, including, software solutions."
"Azure Monitor is useful because of the useful application insights and telemetry, such as metrics and logs."
"It has multiple monitors that can be deployed OOTB, which includes basic system monitors for CPU, Disk, Memory, NIC's, etc."
"SiteScope has built-in flat file DB, hence it removes the dependency of an external DB for higher stability."
"The Monitor Templates functionality allowed us to spin up monitoring with .csv files pretty easily."
"The URL monitoring is excellent."
"Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"For the system environment, SiteScope can be useful."
"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."
"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."
"We cannot use AI services with the solution."
"The solution should have cross-connection or cross-communication between tech partners."
"I need connectivity with cost management."
"The default interface should be improved."
"They should include advanced logging on the database level in the Azure pool."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors."
"Lacks information including details related to where problems lie."
"SiteScope isn't productive if you want to monitor RAM or if you want to monitor some URL."
"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."
"The tool needs to support new technologies like Kubernetes. It also needs to improve scalability."
"More out of the box Cloud integration and capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"The graphs and dashboard in the solution are areas that need improvement."
"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."
