Monitoring end-user activity has improved visibility into device and application performance

In my opinion, Riverbed can make Alluvio Aternity better by having the same Aternity agent help in security, such as antivirus or EDR, which would be useful, allowing customers to avoid having multiple agents installed on their endpoint machines. Deploying multiple agents can use the processor and utilize memory, so it's better to go with one agent. If one agent can do end-user activity monitoring and act as an EDR, then it would be better for the end-user, allowing easy avoidance of installing multiple agents on their machines.

Proactive monitoring has reduced response time and has improved capacity planning accuracy

Regarding areas for improvement, there may be minor issues, but I have not faced any significant issues with OpenText SiteScope because I have a team that uses this product daily. As a monitoring dashboard user, I do not have any negative feedback. A feature that could be added is direct integration with a ticketing tool, as it would help operation teams directly detect alarms and alerts happening in our infrastructure. Direct integration with a ticketing tool such as Remedy would be a good feature. OpenText SiteScope has some limitations, especially with integration between OpenText SiteScope and Remedy, which must be done through middle software. There are also limitations for cloud monitoring as well as for Docker and Kubernetes.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The data collected by the agents on each end point is the most valuable feature for us."

"Alluvio Aternity provides predictive analysis and trend analysis for IT teams to evaluate the performance of hardware and applications."

"As a financial institution, we have a lot of applications that are either written internally or bought from a vendor and customized for us. Having a tool that lets us monitor specific transactions in those applications allows us to focus on the transactions that are important to the business."

"The implementation was pretty straightforward."

"The most valuable feature for me is being able to monitor the productivity of every employee in the company as well as third-party, outsourced companies that work on our behalf."

"The two most valuable features for us are its abilities to validate the customer experience and to measure performance before and after upgrades."

"All of it, but it depends on who the end user is. The folks that support the applications, like the signatures that we've developed, it gives them feedback on their application performance."

"The item we use the most and what upper management wants is the SLA reports, as they provide a good summary of how the applications are performing over time from month to month."

More Alluvio Aternity pros

"The most valuable feature of SiteScope is its infrastructure monitoring."

"The products have been able to deliver the service to our business, which is to ensure that the applications that depend on our servers are always available."

"I would rate the stability of OpenText SiteScope as excellent."

"They can create workflows for approval processes, which is very useful to support paperless digitalization, allowing effective collaboration between many parties including approvers, reviewers, and engineering documents being signed, annotated, and marked up using this system."

"The biggest benefit I see from OpenText SiteScope is that it is a very professional tool, and it helps me greatly."

"SiteScope has built-in flat file DB, hence it removes the dependency of an external DB for higher stability."

"When coupled with OMi and Service Manager, it gives a 360 degree view of the service availability and performance SLAs."

"The stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is good."

More OpenText SiteScope pros

Cons

"Riverbed is costly in the Indian market; I would rate the pricing for Alluvio Aternity as a higher price."

"The licensing model doesn't suit the market we are in and has room for improvement."

"Their technical support structure is terrible. I would give them a rating of 2/5."

"I would improve the dashboard, the presentation player."

"Signature development process requires deep technical expertise in the application and in the use of their studio tools that help you create it."

"The dashboards and navigatability of the platform could use improvement. It often takes five or six clicks to drill down to exactly what you want to see."

"It is definitely a premium solution; it is not an inexpensive product. We have to ensure that we are getting the most out of it in order to justify the cost."

"Right now, the user information being displayed by Aternity is received from AD. Ideally, we would like to see integration with other sources for user information, like other databases, so we are not limited to AD."

More Alluvio Aternity cons

"Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope could improve by adding more features, such as cloud, APM, and DevOps monitoring."

"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."

"I think that the scalability needs to be worked on a bit. We can scale fine horizontally, but we’d like to scale less horizontal and be more compact."

"We'd like a uniform interface for monitoring our system, since that's the purpose of SiteScope."

"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."

"It could be more reliable using a database repository instead of a log repository."

"More out of the box Cloud integration and capabilities. Currently there's one for Amazon."

"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."

More OpenText SiteScope cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding cost, compared to other solutions, Aternity is pretty low. It's definitely lower-cost than others that we looked at, like Nexthink."

"We always try to reduce costs and purchase the Alluvio Aternity Essentials license."

"Our management squeezed Aternity pretty hard on the pricing, in my opinion a little too much. I advise negotiating for sure, but I do think it left kind of a sour taste in Aternity’s mouth that we were being so pushy despite the fact that we were only purchasing a small number of licenses."

"Pricing is a bit high. Don't take that as the "be all, end all"."

"It’s a little on the costly side, but if you license intelligently, accounting for your various hosts connecting in through VDI or terminal servers, you can make it well worth your money."

"In my opinion they are asking a lot for their SaaS solution, but I also know that that's the direction they're going... The current, on-prem solution is probably a fair price."

"The solution's price is pretty comparable to the industry."

"The pricing for the users and agents is reasonable compared to other solutions and vendors."

More Alluvio Aternity pricing and cost advice

"SiteScope licensing can be node based-or monitor-based. I would recommend for node-based licensing."

"Depending on your requirements, there are two licensing models available. A simple point model, or an endpoint model."

"The pricing or licensing cost for Micro Focus SiteScope is often bundled with other things, so the cost for each individual would be difficult to calculate. Pricing could be $2,000,000 a year. My company pays for technical support because it's part of the contract with Micro Focus SiteScope. You buy the licenses, but you're also paying for the support. With Nagios, it's much more bare-bones as far as paying for licenses and the software itself, and my company didn't have to use as much Nagios support yet in one or two years because there weren't too many problems using Nagios, and it's much more cost-effective, so that's one of the reasons why my company is migrating to Nagios from Micro Focus SiteScope."

"You have to pay for their "solution templates". Other tools do not charge you for knowledge-based monitoring bundles."

"It is expensive. I don't like its licensing. I don't like anything where you have to license it by individual licenses. I'm not a fan of that, but that's just me."

"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten on a scale where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"Licensing is a little steep."

"The product's pricing should be lower since there are many open-source products that can do the same job with better user interfaces. The tool's pricing is yearly and you need to pay for support."
