Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The most valuable feature is the fault management monitoring."
"The pricing is relatively low compared to other solutions in this area. I'd go so far as to say it's even significantly less than the competition."
"The product's ability to monitor systems and applications and send alerts and create support tickets are the most valuable features of the product."
"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."
"It's integrated with different monitoring tools, such as AppDynamics."
"It's easy to template standard monitoring configurations, and automate monitoring configuration."
"Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText SiteScope is that it is easy to manage and user-friendly."
"Being able to create your monitors for monitoring your internal URLs and databases and other things like that is valuable."
"It can monitor over a 100 technologies with built-in solution templates."
"My biggest complaint about ADA is that you have to rely on dedicated appliances."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"It may lack some features other products in the category have like more detailed transaction tracking."
"SiteScope isn't productive if you want to monitor RAM or if you want to monitor some URL."
"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."
"Full application functionality available via the API. There are some functions you can perform managing monitors, that are only available through the UI."
"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."
"They should provide more templates for new vendor devices."
"The lack of an agent means that remote monitoring requires multiple firewall ports to be opened."
"We'd like a uniform interface for monitoring our system, since that's the purpose of SiteScope."
