Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."IBM's main value lies in its integration with its own technologies, which can be seen as a benefit in environments where IBM products are extensively used."
"The solution is very stable. We never had any issues with stability."
"It's integrated with different monitoring tools, such as AppDynamics."
"For the system environment, SiteScope can be useful."
"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 URL monitoring is excellent."
"It's easy to template standard monitoring configurations, and automate monitoring configuration."
"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."
"Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"Simplest tool for monitoring servers, web content, databases and other hardware. Its dashboard is really good."
"The installation process is difficult, requiring continuous support and specialist expertise due to our limited knowledge of managing it effectively."
"The user interface was not good."
"We'd like a uniform interface for monitoring our system, since that's the purpose of SiteScope."
"Direct integration with an SMS gateway for sending critical alerts to the support SME. This will help customer investing in third party middleware solutions for SMS."
"Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope could improve by adding more features, such as cloud, APM, and DevOps monitoring."
"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."
"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."
"They should provide more templates for new vendor devices."
"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."
