We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and OpenText SiteScope 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."It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to focus on delivery and maximizing the performance of applications and services."
"We like this searchability and availability of the data."
"In the last company where I worked about a year ago, it looked very simple."
"Good load and metrics gathering and very good analysis."
"The most valuable feature is the universality of their functionalities in all Azure services, including, software solutions."
"I am impressed by the reporting on the average eight ports that we get from this solution."
"For the system environment, SiteScope can be useful."
"The product's ability to monitor systems and applications and send alerts and create support tickets are the most valuable features of the product."
"Being able to create your monitors for monitoring your internal URLs and databases and other things like that is valuable."
"The stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is good."
"Simplest tool for monitoring servers, web content, databases and other hardware. Its dashboard is really good."
"It's a very flexible product so you can run a script out of it, even straight out of the box."
"The product's readymade templates are perfect. It supports us a lot when we don't have much experience with the product. The templates offers us direction to proceed."
"Has a simple setup. It can be up and running within hours."
"The monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors."
"Azure Monitor's integration with applications could be improved."
"Enhancing and reaching a level of detail that facilitates pinpointing and addressing issues at such a refined level within the application and database components would be helpful."
"The price could be lower but it is not a must."
"Currently, it seems it's complicated to get the correct information in terms of what to do and how things work."
"Setting up this solution is complex. It's also missing the functionality of assigning alerts."
"They should include advanced logging on the database level in the Azure pool."
"They need to work with other cloud providers - not just Azure."
"We'd like a uniform interface for monitoring our system, since that's the purpose of SiteScope."
"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."
"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."
"Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope could improve by adding more features, such as cloud, APM, and DevOps monitoring."
"It may lack some features other products in the category have like more detailed transaction tracking."
"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."
"They need to offer better technical support, which, right now, is not helpful or responsive."
"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."
