Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Diagnostics is the information reported from an application that has timed out. For example, when you're Googling, or you're booking a ticket for Burj Khalifa here, the longest tower in the world, there are situations where the system can time out. There are times when you might not receive a response on the payment gateway or you are not able to find the reservation. The customer only receives the information that the session has timed out.""The diagnostics and configuration are the solution's most valuable aspects.""For banking and telecom solutions, it's been quite useful."

"The sum solution, NTA, and DPA.""The product has a great dashboard.""Technical support is always live and they're supportive.""I have found the most valuable feature is application performance management.""Some of the most valuable features of SolarWinds are the topology discovery and network performance analysis.""The reporting of the solution is very good."

Cons
"The interface is very old, and not very user-friendly. Most of our clients don't like the UI.""The interface could be more user friendly.""The GUI and metrics of Micro Focus Diagnostics can be improved. The metrics the solution gathers can be limited and could be enhanced by giving more details."

More OpenText Diagnostics Cons →

"The solution should be more user-friendly.""In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products.""The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models.""AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view.""The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward.""I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "Mostly, it's a perpetual license. We don't have any customers using the subscription right now—it's mostly a perpetual license that the customers purchase. The licensing is based on the number of elements, whereas other solutions are node-based."
  • "I believe the current licensing cost is reasonable."
  • "Since it's a negotiable rate, I would rate the pricing as a five out of five."
