We performed a comparison between Alluvio Aternity 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 dashboard is very effective."
"The ability to quickly utilize the dashboard to gather information is valuable from a DXI perspective."
"We've looked at the Digital Experience Management Quadrant (DEM-Q) to see how our digital experience compares to others who use the solution. We have used that to see how we are trending and it gives us some insight into areas that we might need to focus more on. That's helpful."
"Desktop monitoring, and being able to understand the performance of applications that runs on the desktop."
"The most valuable feature is the alerting. As soon as we click on an incident, it takes us directly to the problematic PC. It's a direct solution. We click on an alert and it takes us to the incident details. The details show in different colors, in a graphical representation, and I like that the most."
"The most valuable feature of Alluvio Aternity is the compiling and displaying of end-user data so that we can utilize it to troubleshoot proactively."
"We could resolve issues that they had been facing for months or years. They had been having the same issues, the same performance problems, whether it was Excel taking a long time to load, or network instability, or voice call problems, and we would fix it in minutes, in front of them in a meeting, with absolute confidence. It would just blow their minds."
"Aternity easily provides visibility of all the endpoint machines to my clients."
"The stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is good."
"It's easy to template standard monitoring configurations, and automate monitoring configuration."
"Simplest tool for monitoring servers, web content, databases and other hardware. Its dashboard is really good."
"Simple deployment: The deployment uses protocols such as NetBios, SSH, WMI, SNMP, which means that any device with any of these protocols will be monitored."
"Being able to create your monitors for monitoring your internal URLs and databases and other things like that is valuable."
"The Monitor Templates functionality allowed us to spin up monitoring with .csv files pretty easily."
"For the system environment, SiteScope can be useful."
"It's integrated with different monitoring tools, such as AppDynamics."
"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."
"I think the workflow needs improvement"
"Their technical support should be improved in terms of response time. Its stability should also be better. We are currently using version 10, and its stability is not so high. The server crashes from time to time and needs to be restarted. Sometimes, you also have problems with applications."
"Reports were a lot easier in the older versions"
"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."
"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."
"Aternity doesn't currently provide metrics about actual employee experience of all business-critical apps. It's something you have to build out. It's not 'canned' that way and there is a lot of configuration that you have to do to the environment to collect the data you want to collect and that is important to you."
"Reliability: Issues interfering with the deployment and use of the product has made its use reduced in scope."
"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."
"More out of the box Cloud integration and capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"It may lack some features other products in the category have like more detailed transaction tracking."
"They should provide more templates for new vendor devices."
"We'd like a uniform interface for monitoring our system, since that's the purpose of SiteScope."
"The graphs and dashboard in the solution are areas that need improvement."
