We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor 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."Azure Monitor is very stable."
"The solution works well overall. It's easy to implement and simple to use."
"The most valuable feature is that it ensures our servers are up."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the alert system, which can be set according to our metrics. The integration is smooth."
"The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use."
"Log analytics and log queries are the most valuable features of Azure Monitor."
"We like this searchability and availability of the data."
"The feature that I found most valuable in Azure Monitor is its monitoring abilities. With Azure Monitor, you are able to monitor all of your cloud resources across multiple subscriptions in one dashboard and create solution-specific alerts that can trigger an email to the team responsible for that specific solution."
"The most valuable feature of SiteScope is its infrastructure monitoring."
"The stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is good."
"It has multiple monitors that can be deployed OOTB, which includes basic system monitors for CPU, Disk, Memory, NIC's, etc."
"The product's ability to monitor systems and applications and send alerts and create support tickets are the most valuable features of the product."
"It's integrated with different monitoring tools, such as AppDynamics."
"Our experiences with Micro Focus SiteScope have been mostly positive as we can easily work with multiple monitors and different types of monitors pretty quickly. There are a lot of out-of-the-box solutions for us through Micro Focus SiteScope, so we don't have to do that much custom coding for the vast majority of requests that we get for monitoring. There are some limitations that we've run into and some problems every once in a while, but they've been relatively minor."
"Simplest tool for monitoring servers, web content, databases and other hardware. Its dashboard is really good."
"SiteScope has built-in flat file DB, hence it removes the dependency of an external DB for higher stability."
"We encounter some difficulties in monitoring the operating system on its own."
"They should include advanced logging on the database level in the Azure pool."
"Automation related to gathering metrics from more applications could be improved."
"They need to work on a more hybrid deployment that will allow us to monitor local on-premise deployments and connect to different systems. I would like to see more integration."
"The default interface should be improved."
"I need connectivity with cost management."
"The monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors."
"It's really complex to retrieve or query the logs in Azure Monitor."
"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."
"Full application functionality available via the API. There are some functions you can perform managing monitors, that are only available through the UI."
"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."
"They need to offer better technical support, which, right now, is not helpful or responsive."
"It may lack some features other products in the category have like more detailed transaction tracking."
"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."
"The graphs and dashboard in the solution are areas that need improvement."
"We'd like a uniform interface for monitoring our system, since that's the purpose of SiteScope."
