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

"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."

"The URL monitoring is excellent."

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

"Has a simple setup. It can be up and running within hours."

"Managing SiteScope is not as difficult as its reveal."

"Instead of executing jobs multiple times, I can configure it once, schedule, and apply it on multiple servers in sequence. It allows me to create scripts and automate several processes, making tasks simpler and more efficient."

"The Monitor Templates functionality allowed us to spin up monitoring with .csv files pretty easily."

"For the system environment, SiteScope can be useful."

More OpenText SiteScope pros

"We can automate routine tasks. We're able to create alerts, reports, scheduled searches, et cetera. It's helping us to save time."

"Having worked closely with Splunk support engineers, I've observed their high capabilities in resolving issues."

"The root cause analysis is very helpful for us."

"ITSI's KPI and correlation search aspects are powerful, and the service creation suits the project well. It allows for good segregation of the monitoring solution, and up-to-date quick-time monitoring. We're notified quickly when something goes wrong."

"The solution has been stable."

"Our mean time to detect is down to five minutes."

"The most valuable features are the service analyzer and Glass Tables."

"One of the excellent features is the service analyzer, which is truly impressive."

More Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) pros

Cons

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

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

"Monitor mobile health status too."

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

"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."

"Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope could improve by adding more features, such as cloud, APM, and DevOps monitoring."

"Easy to setup, but I’m not able to recommend this product any longer because there hasn’t been any real investment in enhancements that allow for cloud or container monitoring."

"Licensing is a little steep. Since HP's acquisition of the product, licensing is done on a points-per-monitor basis, and with literally hundreds of nodes and application monitors available, costs can get steep."

More OpenText SiteScope cons

"From my perspective (since I don't have administrator or developer access to Splunk ITSI), we could have a better user interface."

"ITSI is an almost perfect tool, but there is room for improvement in a few features like the deep dive and multi-KPI alerts. We're using most of the features like service API, coding searches, and aggregation, but our team members hardly use multi-KPI and deep dive. We don't use the multi-KPI or deep dive because everything is available in the service KPI. I don't think this feature is necessary."

"Occasionally, we have faced some slowness, which we reported to Splunk, and those issues were promptly resolved."

"It is pretty okay. I am not sure whether the current release has already moved to the new framework where instead of the glass tables, we can directly use the Dashboard Studio. It would be nice to have that integrated into the same framework."

"We're getting alerts with delays of maybe five minutes, however, we'd like to see real-time alerting in the future."

"Splunk ITSI lacks out-of-the-box solutions for enterprise users."

"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."

"It was an intimidating tool for us to jump into at the beginning."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Licensing is a little steep."

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

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

More OpenText SiteScope pricing and cost advice

"Splunk ITSI is a pay-per-use service that is priced fairly based on the amount of data we use."

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

"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."

"Pricing was pretty good, and it is possible to just add on the features we want."

"Splunk ITSI is expensive."

"The pricing of Splunk is a bit high."

"It would have been good if the product cost was much lower."

"Splunk ITSI is an expensive tool, and we need to purchase the utility license."
