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.""For banking and telecom solutions, it's been quite useful.""The diagnostics and configuration are the solution's most valuable aspects."

More OpenText Diagnostics Pros →

"The most valuable features are monitoring and reporting.""Once you set the threshold on your environment, it feels very real-time""There are alerting mechanisms in place to let us know, for example, if a device is not responding to a ping test and is probably not going to work.""One notable feature of this software is its page speed setup, which is highly commendable. Additionally, the metrics it provides are also impressive."

Cons
"The interface could be more user friendly.""The interface is very old, and not very user-friendly. Most of our clients don't like the UI.""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 →

"Technical support could use some improvement.""Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI.""I would like to see better integration with other products.""Some of the functions could improve by making them easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "This price of this solution is reasonable."
  • "The license was paid yearly and included technical support."
  • "While I wouldn't describe it as excessively expensive, if you require specific and reliable monitoring, SolarWinds can be a suitable option. The advantage is that SolarWinds offers a free version as well. If you don't heavily rely on its monitoring capabilities and are content with its basic features, the free version could suffice for your needs."
