Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Transaction Tracing is the most useful. Being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable."
"Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability."
"I like it that one can match IPs with the application name."
"Browsermetrix, which is real-user monitoring via JS injection and linked back to TTW via cookie. It allows us to see the experience of every user hitting our sites and analyze performance by region, browser, etc."
"As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues."
"The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integration with their other systems. It's easy to understand and it points out the relevant problems in the enterprise."
"Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive"
"There's no agent you need installed on the servers. In our environment, we have some servers out of our control so we cannot manage them. We use SiteScope to monitor the availability, the resources on the servers, etc. This allows us to do this job without installing agents so there's no need to take care of anything on the server."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText SiteScope is that it is easy to manage and user-friendly."
"The stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is good."
"It can monitor over a 100 technologies with built-in solution templates."
"The URL monitoring is excellent."
"SiteScope has built-in flat file DB, hence it removes the dependency of an external DB for higher stability."
"Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"It's a very flexible product so you can run a script out of it, even straight out of the box."
"Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported."
"It would be great if the solution could offer fixed bundles and more features."
"Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update."
"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."
"The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well."
"We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods."
"They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker."
"I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now."
"Full application functionality available via the API. There are some functions you can perform managing monitors, that are only available through the UI."
"They need to offer better technical support, which, right now, is not helpful or responsive."
"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."
"You can use OpenText SiteScope for small or middle environments. But if you want to monitor a large environment, it is not scalable. If you can monitor a large environment with OpenText SiteScope, it can be a valuable product."
"Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope could improve by adding more features, such as cloud, APM, and DevOps monitoring."
"The lack of an agent means that remote monitoring requires multiple firewall ports to be opened."
"It may lack some features other products in the category have like more detailed transaction tracking."
"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."
