We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability 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."Its diverse set of features available on the cloud is of significant importance."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"It has multiple monitors that can be deployed OOTB, which includes basic system monitors for CPU, Disk, Memory, NIC's, etc."
"VM monitoring is pretty good showing good visualizations of how VMs are operating within the context of all the VMs running on the same hypervisor."
"It can monitor over a 100 technologies with built-in solution templates."
"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 product's ability to monitor systems and applications and send alerts and create support tickets are the most valuable features of the product."
"The stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is good."
"The tool has capabilities other than managing web-based applications, like URL Monitor and EPI Script. It is also easy to use the tool."
"For the system environment, SiteScope can be useful."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"The auto-discovery isn't nearly as good. That's a big portion of it. When you drop the agent onto the JVM and you're trying to figure things out, having to go through and manually do all that is cumbersome."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"Elastic Observability is reactive rather than proactive. It should act as an ITSM tool and be able to create tickets and alerts on Jira."
"It may lack some features other products in the category have like more detailed transaction tracking."
"The lack of an agent means that remote monitoring requires multiple firewall ports to be opened."
"It could be more reliable using a database repository instead of a log repository."
"You can use OpenText SiteScope for small or middle environments. But if you want to monitor a large environment, it is not scalable. If you can monitor a large environment with OpenText SiteScope, it can be a valuable product."
"Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope could improve by adding more features, such as cloud, APM, and DevOps monitoring."
"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."
"SiteScope isn't productive if you want to monitor RAM or if you want to monitor some URL."
