We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management 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."The deep-process instrumentation gave us an opportunity to understand application process performance in detail."
"Users no longer need to depend upon the console for a compatible Java version. Now, users can directly learn the version, perform all their actions, and see all of those performance-related issues."
"The configuration and the manager tool are good features."
"We are using the on-premise and cloud versions of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management."
"Stability is one of the strongest attributes of CA APM. It is very stable on all platforms."
"Being able to pull in and merge the infrastructure and application data."
"It's a very stable product."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of SiteScope is its infrastructure monitoring."
"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."
"The URL monitoring is excellent."
"The Monitor Templates functionality allowed us to spin up monitoring with .csv files pretty easily."
"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."
"It has multiple monitors that can be deployed OOTB, which includes basic system monitors for CPU, Disk, Memory, NIC's, etc."
"Being able to create your monitors for monitoring your internal URLs and databases and other things like that is valuable."
"User Experience is a BIG one. Integration of all of APM components into one swift deployment."
"The following need improvement: 1) Integration of third-party content into app maps (e.g. data coming from beats/elastic platform). 2) Support of new application server technologies, time to adopt new versions of them. 3) Dashboarding capabilities (as with all other vendors). 4) Application architecture of the central Enterprise Manager should be developed into a cloud native architecture. 5) Mitigation of SPOF – PostgreSQL database, behind Team Center."
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"You can sell licenses and install the full tool on service, you can show customers how to install, but how to use it and solve issues cannot be done without the experience."
"There are several areas that could be improved in Broadcom DX Application Performance Management. One of the main areas is user experience monitoring, which is currently not available. Additionally, they need to develop a solution that is compatible with OpenShift 4, as their current solution only works when an agent is installed within the image, which is not possible in OpenShift 4 as it removes the agent."
"One of the challenges is agent releases. So as we employ agents, they are done relatively manually. A little bit of automating of agent release would be helpful."
"With respect to SQL monitoring, it would be nice to have a little more information because it doesn't provide the full statement all of the time."
"The upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
"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."
"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."
"It may lack some features other products in the category have like more detailed transaction tracking."
"The lack of an agent means that remote monitoring requires multiple firewall ports to be opened."
"They have not kept up with browser security requirements or advances in GUIs, they switched to a corruptible database architecture instead of text config files."
"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."
"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."
"Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope could improve by adding more features, such as cloud, APM, and DevOps monitoring."
