Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic."
"AppPulse Active allows us to very quickly produce synthetic monitoring for our applications."
"It provides a lot of customer insight, understanding the customer's needs, understanding the customer's issues, and it gives me a more proactive approach to solving a customer problem before it happens."
"The speed that you can get AppPulse out there was the brightest spot of this whole process."
"We can collect data about the user experience and see how the user is behaving with the app, or check the behavior of the app itself."
"Customer are able to develop more quickly versions in which users can see the application to correct and monetize it."
"The thing that I like about AppPulse is that it's easy application to install and an easy application to use to provide information for our customers."
"With Google Analytics, you choose what performance metrics you want to have reported, but with AppPulse Mobile, you have a global vision of what is really happening inside your app."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText SiteScope is that it is easy to manage and user-friendly."
"It can monitor over a 100 technologies with built-in solution templates."
"It's easy to template standard monitoring configurations, and automate monitoring configuration."
"Has a simple setup. It can be up and running within hours."
"The URL monitoring is excellent."
"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."
"The Monitor Templates functionality allowed us to spin up monitoring with .csv files pretty easily."
"Simplest tool for monitoring servers, web content, databases and other hardware. Its dashboard is really good."
"I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization."
"The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment."
"The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."
"I would love if AppPulse delivered more details about my users, for example, age and sex. It could split up the users into categories based on how frequently they use my product."
"Currently, the information for management teams and technical teams are in the same view, but it would be useful if we could separate these views."
"It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile."
"It could be better if you had any of the reports that the customers asked from us, for example, punctually. Unfortunately, the reporter is not that practical."
"The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
