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.

Service health has been monitored and visual insights support proactive telecom operations

The installation process is the first aspect I dislike about Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence). If you do not configure it correctly, you will encounter issues in the search head. Because we use a distributed environment where each component has its own specific roles, installation is critical and requires careful attention. Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) is built with many applications. It is a compressed file, and when you extract the Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) app, you receive approximately 19 apps. Some applications, add-ons, and packages must be installed on specific components. If you do not configure an application correctly, it will not work. Sometimes we encounter issues during installation because of this complexity. I believe the installation process should be more uniform, meaning it could be deployed across all components to avoid post-installation issues. Sometimes after installation, you receive errors, and users cannot access Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence). We have experienced this type of issue due to installation errors. I believe there is currently room for improvement regarding scalability. When we create Glass Tables containing many searches, the Glass Tables sometimes fail due to memory constraints, and we receive error pages. Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) should have a lightweight version to address these concerns. I would rate current scalability as medium.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"Being able to do your queries from a single location and being able to nest all your monitors within folders is valuable."

"It's user-friendly and it's very good at monitoring the infrastructure and the applications."

More OpenText SiteScope pros

"The best feature I found in Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) is the ability to organize raw data we receive in a very particular manner as per the client's requirement, including the device name and message body."

"The modeling required to setup ITSI has been very helpful in providing us a better understanding and a logical view of our services. The modeling is flexible and can be as granular or high level as our needs dictate."

"Customers have noted the solution helps streamline incident management."

"It has saved a lot of time, made things more efficient, made budgeting easy, and made it enjoyable to learn and use as a tool."

More Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) pros

Cons

"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."

"The tool needs to support new technologies like Kubernetes. It also needs to improve scalability."

"It may lack some features other products in the category have like more detailed transaction tracking."

"Full application functionality available via the API. There are some functions you can perform managing monitors, that are only available through the UI."

"We'd like a uniform interface for monitoring our system, since that's the purpose of SiteScope."

"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."

"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."

More OpenText SiteScope cons

"Quality-of-life features have room for improvement."

"The problem becomes the price, as Splunk is an expensive product."

"Currently, Glass tables in ITSI only display metrics related to KPIs."

"The user interface visualization could be improved."

"While Splunk has existing add-ons, they are unreliable and do not provide accurate results."

"Predictive analytics, in terms of preventing incidents before they occur, still needs time to mature."

"Splunk ITSI consumes a lot of CPU resources."

"Scalability is a bit challenging, mainly if high loads are encountered. I faced several issues with high thread usage, so I would rate it around seven to eight, particularly considering that scalability is crucial yet can be premium in cost."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"Licensing is a little steep."

More OpenText SiteScope pricing and cost advice

"It is interesting. I am not involved that much lately, but if I recall correctly, you license primarily on the volume of data that you are using in Splunk ITSI, but there is no way Splunk can ever check if that is true, so that is interesting. We are not doing it, but someone can pretend to just use 10%, and it would be super cheap. It is tricky, but it is more tricky for Splunk than for us."

"Its pricing has been changed as per the market. You get a good support service with it as well. They have 24/7 customer support. There is a portal, and if you are having issues, they are available in order to resolve them. So, its pricing isn't too much."

"It depends on how big an organization is. If we have a lot of resources, the licensing needs to be upgraded. If we have a small environment, the licensing cost is definitely going to be less."

"Splunk ITSI is a premium application and comes with a premium price tag."

"Splunk ITSI is expensive."

"I wouldn't say there's been an issue with the solution's pricing because we went through the AWS marketplace and negotiated directly with Splunk."

"Splunk ITSI is expensive; however, with the appropriate use case, it justifies the cost."

"Splunk ITSI is expensive compared to other tools."
