We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management 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."With the new feature CA Team Center is much easier to view the information of my user experience, with this unified vision, it was even practical for lay users to use the tool"
"The deployment was easy."
"It is very useful and helpful with the analysis of historical performance data."
"We understand for APM, it has the ability to drill down and do the end-to-end monitoring that we are looking for."
"If there's something that you really need to get at that doesn't come out of the box, you can pretty easily put together some custom metrics and get those in place."
"WAS GC monitoring enhanced our application performance and DB SQL performance."
"We are using the on-premise and cloud versions of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management."
"Product performance is awesome. It's covering all aspects of the application; good database metrics and internal application metrics. Just tons and tons of data."
"The stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is good."
"It's integrated with different monitoring tools, such as AppDynamics."
"Our experiences with Micro Focus SiteScope have been mostly positive as we can easily work with multiple monitors and different types of monitors pretty quickly. There are a lot of out-of-the-box solutions for us through Micro Focus SiteScope, so we don't have to do that much custom coding for the vast majority of requests that we get for monitoring. There are some limitations that we've run into and some problems every once in a while, but they've been relatively minor."
"Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"It can monitor over a 100 technologies with built-in solution templates."
"SiteScope has built-in flat file DB, hence it removes the dependency of an external DB for higher stability."
"The URL monitoring is excellent."
"The product's ability to monitor systems and applications and send alerts and create support tickets are the most valuable features of the product."
"Lacks some integration between all the tools."
"System incident analysis and performance monitoring need improvement."
"Technical support is slow to respond and also asks redundant questions."
"The stability could be more reliable."
"The integration with CA Spectrum is quite difficult to create, and it is also only one way, only being used to view alarms coming from CA APM."
"As applications move to the cloud, we need more cloud-based solutions from CA APM. This is currently unavailable."
"We need more capabilities to analyze the information that tools collects; for example, using artificial intelligence, or something like that."
"The interface is getting a little old."
"The graphs and dashboard in the solution are areas that need improvement."
"They need to offer better technical support, which, right now, is not helpful or responsive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
