We performed a comparison between OpenText SiteScope and Oracle Enterprise Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"The product's ability to monitor systems and applications and send alerts and create support tickets are the most valuable features of the product."
"The most valuable feature of SiteScope is its infrastructure monitoring."
"The Monitor Templates functionality allowed us to spin up monitoring with .csv files pretty easily."
"It's easy to template standard monitoring configurations, and automate monitoring configuration."
"It's a very flexible product so you can run a script out of it, even straight out of the box."
"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 tool has capabilities other than managing web-based applications, like URL Monitor and EPI Script. It is also easy to use the tool."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"Some of the most valuable features are its real-time performance view/dashboard, metric history, real-time monitoring and alerts, as well as quick access to Oracle's tuning and diagnostic options."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager as a tool to monitor Oracle products."
"I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Oracle Enterprise Manager was straightforward."
"The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
"The dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are."
"It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do."
"They need to offer better technical support, which, right now, is not helpful or responsive."
"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."
"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."
"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 should provide more templates for new vendor devices."
"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."
"The tool needs to support new technologies like Kubernetes. It also needs to improve scalability."
"The interface could be more friendly for basic users."
"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products."
"Technical support could be faster."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement."
