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 infrastructure metrics, especially the CPU and memory data, are available in per second granularity for a long time, which makes it outstanding as compared to other solutions, and its licensing cost is very low for us."

"Being able to proactively identify issues on user systems."

"The solution is highly stable and always available."

"The most valuable feature is the application performance troubleshooting because Aternity is able to provide the performance from the end-user perspective. It doesn't just give the standard application logon time, etc., rather it's also able to measure the performance inside the application, the performance of specific transactions in the application, and break it down into three elements: the client time, the network time, and the server time. This gives us a lot of insights into what we need to focus on to improve the performance of an application."

"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."

"The most useful function in Alluvio Aternity is that it allows the customer to easily track and get visibility of whether the application an end-user is accessing is performing well or not."

"We have seen return on our investment with Aternity."

"It's one of those rare, genuine products that does what it says on the tin."

More Alluvio Aternity pros

"The monitoring capabilities have no limit; whatever you can imagine, you can monitor, even using URL monitors, database query monitors, and formula composite monitors, which are not common in other tools."

"It has multiple monitors that can be deployed OOTB, which includes basic system monitors for CPU, Disk, Memory, NIC's, etc."

"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's easy to template standard monitoring configurations, and automate monitoring configuration."

"System health check monitoring and email alerts after reaching threshold limits."

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

"The product's ability to monitor systems and applications and send alerts and create support tickets are the most valuable features of the product."

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

More OpenText SiteScope pros

Cons

"The biggest improvement would be the ease with which you monitor applications. It's a little clunky right now; it takes a little bit of time."

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

"Its user interface and features should be improved. They don't support new versions of certain Linux editions. That is one of the reasons why we have to move to another solution."

"I would say the reporting capabilities of this product could use room for improvement. The standard reports that are given are not the greatest, and no custom ones can be created; however, I am told that the latest version of Aternity offers this!"

"Reports were a lot easier in the older versions"

"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."

"To monitor these transactions, you need to look at it, analyze it and capture it. It requires a little bit of work, but in an environment like ours, you need it to be easier."

"The thing that I think most companies like ourselves would want would be an easier way to customize custom scripts."

More Alluvio Aternity cons

"The lack of an agent means that remote monitoring requires multiple firewall ports to be opened."

"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."

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

"There is a need to enhance the reporting feature in OpenText SiteScope. Reporting related to performance information for historical data needs improvement to provide better reporting related to application availability and end node availability."

"They need to offer better technical support, which, right now, is not helpful or responsive."

"The graphs and dashboard in the solution are areas that need improvement."

"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."

"We'll probably remove SiteScope shortly because we've been using another monitoring tool in production. SiteScope is just not something we use very much of any more."

More OpenText SiteScope cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The price for Alluvio Aternity is favorable."

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

"It's not a cheap product. There are no two ways about that. If you compare it with a couple of the other solutions operating in the space, it might be on the slightly more expensive side, but it is one of those tools where, once you've got it, you understand the true value. You will get that money back."

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

"The pricing is fair."

"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."

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

More Alluvio Aternity pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

"Licensing is a little steep."
