We performed a comparison between OpenText SiteScope and Splunk Enterprise Security 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."Simple deployment: The deployment uses protocols such as NetBios, SSH, WMI, SNMP, which means that any device with any of these protocols will be monitored."
"Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"It's integrated with different monitoring tools, such as AppDynamics."
"It can monitor over a 100 technologies with built-in solution templates."
"The tool has capabilities other than managing web-based applications, like URL Monitor and EPI Script. It is also easy to use the tool."
"The Monitor Templates functionality allowed us to spin up monitoring with .csv files pretty easily."
"It's a very flexible product so you can run a script out of it, even straight out of the box."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText SiteScope is that it is easy to manage and user-friendly."
"The additional vendors we've brought on board, particularly the elastic, have been quite beneficial."
"The ability to manage large amounts of generated data and to protect all devices from unauthorized use are the most valuable features."
"Compared to IBM QRadar, Splunk Enterprise Security offers faster alert resolution."
"Great platform with user-friendly interface and GUI."
"Splunk's interface is user-friendly, and it has apps and add-ons for most applications. We can easily normalize the data to make it readable and understand the logs. We easily get all the field extractions and enrichment done by using the apps and add-ons. This helps us understand the application logs because the raw data is useless unless we extract some useful information from it. These add-ons make it so much easier."
"The most valuable feature is the incident dashboard, and the extensive use of correlation searches, which isn't available with a standard Splunk search package. This feature is important to me because it enables SOC analysts to do their job more efficiently and be able to investigate or mediate incidents at a faster pace."
"The log aggregation is great."
"The solution has plenty of features that are good."
"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."
"Full application functionality available via the API. There are some functions you can perform managing monitors, that are only available through the UI."
"It could be more reliable using a database repository instead of a log repository."
"More out of the box Cloud integration and capabilities."
"They should provide more templates for new vendor devices."
"The tool needs to support new technologies like Kubernetes. It also needs to improve scalability."
"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 graphs and dashboard in the solution are areas that need improvement."
"Better directions on search head clusters."
"The upgrading process could be smoother."
"The level of scalability depends on the license you have. You can expand or reduce it based on the environment. It does cost more money to scale, however."
"Some of the terminology can be confusing, even for seasoned vets. Renaming components at this point would be a serious undertaking. However, it might be beneficial in the long run."
"Missing capability for audio/video and image processing."
"I would like some additional AI capabilities to provide additional information about things going wrong and things going well."
"We'd like Splunk to reduce false positives."
"The GUI can be improved. Splunk has always suffered from having a kind of goofy UI, it needs some updating."
