We performed a comparison between OpenText SiteScope and Splunk Enterprise Security 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 tool has capabilities other than managing web-based applications, like URL Monitor and EPI Script. It is also easy to use the tool."
"It's a very flexible product so you can run a script out of it, even straight out of the box."
"SiteScope has built-in flat file DB, hence it removes the dependency of an external DB for higher stability."
"The stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is good."
"Has a simple setup. It can be up and running within hours."
"The URL monitoring is excellent."
"For the system environment, SiteScope can be useful."
"Being able to create your monitors for monitoring your internal URLs and databases and other things like that is valuable."
"The solution has proven to be quite stable."
"I am satisfied with the support."
"The stock analysts and security people use one single dashboard (one single location) to check our logs."
"Alerts when a server is malfunctioning, monitors external attacks, and takes action to stop spreading viruses."
"Integration with the cloud is pretty important and good for us. We found the integration with a lot of tools, not all tools yet, valuable. It does make the transfer of data, log files, and other things easier for us."
"It can log more logs than other solutions. It's a good way to troubleshoot problems."
"It is user-friendly. It is more effective than other solutions. The support and help for troubleshooting and the documentation from Splunk make it very effective."
"We are much faster finding and addressing issues with Splunk."
"They need to offer better technical support, which, right now, is not helpful or responsive."
"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."
"More out of the box Cloud integration and capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"SiteScope isn't productive if you want to monitor RAM or if you want to monitor some URL."
"Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope could improve by adding more features, such as cloud, APM, and DevOps monitoring."
"We'd like Splunk to reduce false positives."
"More control with Splunk Cloud as it seems a bit limited. I used to manage an on-premise instance of Splunk Enterprise and really liked having more control over it."
"Splunk Enterprise Security could improve in automation, flexibility, and providing more content out of the box."
"The complexity could be worked on so that it's even easier and faster."
"We usually have to follow up with technical support on our open cases."
"Their technical support sucks."
"An improved user interface along with multi-tenancy support would be beneficial."
"The solution could improve by increasing the performance. We have run into problems when large amounts of data are processed."
