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.

Achieve seamless incident response with valuable monitoring capabilities and reliable alerts

There are multiple features related to OpenText SiteScope monitoring that I have found to be very useful, such as SSL monitoring. If SSL is present as a file in a server, then OpenText SiteScope is a very effective tool to monitor when that certificate expires. It provides comprehensive information related to SSL certificates and log monitoring. If any kind of required keyword monitoring is present in the log file, OpenText SiteScope has excellent functionality for monitoring. It is very easy to configure and obtain the correct information related to end-user requirements. The agentless monitoring feature of OpenText SiteScope is particularly impressive and easy to configure and gather information from. According to the operations team perspective, there is no impact related to resource management from the agentless monitoring. It demonstrates very low resource consumption related to its functionality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From my experience, this reduces the troubleshooting time by 70 or 80 percent."

"Customer service is the best I have ever encountered from a software vendor."

"It is a tool that helps me check users' computers really quickly without having a help desk administrator logging in and doing analysis. Anyone who has access to Aternity, including our support team, can log onto Aternity and do a quick, basic analysis."

"We have pictures from the backend, from a network or a server perspective, but we didn't have any user data; collecting that data manually was pretty time-intensive and relatively inaccurate, and with Aternity, we now have the data."

"The ability to monitor crash and health event issues at a user level"

"The most valuable features for us are the Incident Management dashboard, Application Status dashboard, and Activity Analysis UI."

"The user experience it provides is the most valuable feature for us."

"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."

More Alluvio Aternity pros

"SiteScope is very intuitive and we've been able to accomplish what we want very quickly and efficiently compared to IBM."

"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."

"Instead of executing jobs multiple times, I can configure it once, schedule, and apply it on multiple servers in sequence. It allows me to create scripts and automate several processes, making tasks simpler and more efficient."

"My advice to other people considering SiteScope as a solution in this category of tools is that I think SiteScope is a good product."

"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."

"I find OpenText SiteScope itself to be uncomplicated and deserving of a ten out of ten due to its simplicity."

"Simplest tool for monitoring servers, web content, databases and other hardware."

More OpenText SiteScope pros

Cons

"I would like to see more granular performance counters collected and viewable from the endpoints. That would be great."

"Largely, once you get the product and you have it set up and get it installed, the relationship management after-sales leaves a lot to be desired."

"It all comes in pretty nice looking charts and things, but we have a hard time pulling out hard data, which is usually what you'll need if you're trying to be actionable."

"For me, the biggest problem is the price. It is not so much about how much it costs. It is about Aternity only giving you 12 months upfront. So, you got to purchase it for 12 months. A lot of our customers are on a per-user-per-month type billing. They are all OPEX rather than CAPEX. It would be a lot better for our customers if there was an option available for OPEX so that it is billed on a monthly basis than a yearly basis. They've got only Windows agents. They don't actually have mobile agents. It would be a lot better if they could also integrate Android and iOS because then we can start pulling steps and performance management out of users' mobile devices. That's the biggest addition I would suggest at the moment. A lot of our customers have desktops as well as tablets or mobile devices. We should be able to monitor that stuff as well."

"The other place for improvement, as an on-prem, non-SaaS customer, is that the system administration and management in Aternity are very difficult. They've even told me that most of their support calls come in due to configuration and system administration on their on-prem. Their on-prem solution is not easy to use."

"The only thing I can say which has been frustrating are the Tableau workspace/dashboard options out-of-the-box, at least prior to version 8."

"Reliability: Issues interfering with the deployment and use of the product has made its use reduced in scope."

"Being able to add custom monitoring to dashboards would be nice. Right now, if you want to monitor the value of a registry key on your systems, to get that added into the dashboard you have to reach out to Aternity so they can start looking for that value. It would be interesting if that were more of a self-serve function."

More Alluvio Aternity cons

"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."

"The installation was a bit of a challenge. It took us almost two weeks to get it up and running."

"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."

"SiteScope isn't productive if you want to monitor RAM or if you want to monitor some URL."

"Easy to setup, but I’m not able to recommend this product any longer because there hasn’t been any real investment in enhancements that allow for cloud or container monitoring."

"More out of the box Cloud integration and capabilities."

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

"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."

More OpenText SiteScope cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable for the value that it gives because it does allow you to measure the cost ramifications of direct productivity loss for spends in both your infrastructure and on endpoints."

"If the scale of your monitoring will be to go everywhere in an organization, a site license is key."

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

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

"Its licensing cost is very low. That's one of the reasons why we have kept it for so long. We get more than a 70% discount on the maintenance licenses. Its cost is very low for us, but if you buy it new, it would be much more expensive at the retail price."

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

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

"The price for Alluvio Aternity is favorable."

More Alluvio Aternity pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"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."

"Licensing is a little steep."

"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."

"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."

"When Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope has introduced approximately eight years ago and there was not very much competition making the price high. However, when comparing the price of Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope now to other tools, they should reduce the price. It is similar to a legacy tool at this point."
