We performed a comparison between OpenText SiteScope and SolarWinds AppOptics 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."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."
"It has multiple monitors that can be deployed OOTB, which includes basic system monitors for CPU, Disk, Memory, NIC's, etc."
"The Monitor Templates functionality allowed us to spin up monitoring with .csv files pretty easily."
"Simple deployment: The deployment uses protocols such as NetBios, SSH, WMI, SNMP, which means that any device with any of these protocols will be monitored."
"The stability of the Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope is good."
"Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"It can monitor over a 100 technologies with built-in solution templates."
"I have found the most valuable feature is application performance management."
"The reporting of the solution is very good."
"Technical support is always live and they're supportive."
"The sum solution, NTA, and DPA."
"The product has a great dashboard."
"Some of the most valuable features of SolarWinds are the topology discovery and network performance analysis."
"The lack of an agent means that remote monitoring requires multiple firewall ports to be opened."
"We'd like a uniform interface for monitoring our system, since that's the purpose of SiteScope."
"The graphs and dashboard in the solution are areas that need improvement."
"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."
"SiteScope isn't productive if you want to monitor RAM or if you want to monitor some URL."
"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."
"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."
"It may lack some features other products in the category have like more detailed transaction tracking."
"In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products."
"I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market."
"The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward."
"The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view."
