We performed a comparison between OpenText SiteScope and Prometheus 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 most valuable feature of SiteScope is its infrastructure monitoring."
"The tool has capabilities other than managing web-based applications, like URL Monitor and EPI Script. It is also easy to use the tool."
"VM monitoring is pretty good showing good visualizations of how VMs are operating within the context of all the VMs running on the same hypervisor."
"The stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is 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."
"Simplest tool for monitoring servers, web content, databases and other hardware. Its dashboard is really good."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText SiteScope is that it is easy to manage and user-friendly."
"The feature I found most valuable is the number of integrations. It is the industry standard for metrics."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Prometheus provides a flexible and adjustable querying and describing time, allowing for more responsive monitoring."
"The good thing is it integrates well with the Grafana dashboard. It comes with a UI where you see everything as a graph."
"It is an efficient solution."
"The solution can be deployed in thirty minutes."
"Prometheus gives us high availability automatically."
"The product has an easy-to-understand interface."
"The lack of an agent means that remote monitoring requires multiple firewall ports to be opened."
"More out of the box Cloud integration and capabilities."
"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."
"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."
"We'd like a uniform interface for monitoring our system, since that's the purpose of SiteScope."
"SiteScope isn't productive if you want to monitor RAM or if you want to monitor some URL."
"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."
"Prometheus can definitely improve its visualization. For example, the matrices represented in Prometheus do not have a very good visualization on their dashboard."
"I would like to see improvement in the analysis tools and customization features."
"If you are not quite technical, it can be pretty hard to understand the way it works and how to query data in Prometheus."
"If you want to collect details of metrics, you should be able to write a query for it directly. I want the product to offer better queries for the metrics."
"Setting up the rules in Prometheus can be confusing, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The primary area where Prometheus could be improved is in terms of pricing, particularly when used with managed services."
"The query language in Prometheus is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product must improve its documentation."
