We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management and OpenText SiteScope 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."If there's something that you really need to get at that doesn't come out of the box, you can pretty easily put together some custom metrics and get those in place."
"I found the solution's end-to-end analysis and flexibility most valuable."
"The most valuable features are the low overhead, the ability to monitor production on 24/7 principle, the ability to decrease time to discover the point of failure in the IT infrastructure or the application environment in a short period of time, reporting for analyzing the performance of the application for improving the code optimizing process."
"Being able to pull in and merge the infrastructure and application data."
"Deep Dive and Transaction Analysis Triage capability."
"WAS GC monitoring enhanced our application performance and DB SQL performance."
"We understand for APM, it has the ability to drill down and do the end-to-end monitoring that we are looking for."
"The executive dashboard we created gives a lot of visibility. There's no working on something for a little bit before someone knows."
"Has a simple setup. It can be up and running within hours."
"The URL monitoring is excellent."
"Being able to create your monitors for monitoring your internal URLs and databases and other things like that is valuable."
"VM monitoring is pretty good showing good visualizations of how VMs are operating within the context of all the VMs running on the same hypervisor."
"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 most valuable feature of SiteScope is its infrastructure monitoring."
"For the system environment, SiteScope can be useful."
"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 initial setup is complex."
"Documentation needs to be centralized."
"Broadcom DX Application Performance Management could improve its supportability to the current technologies and the end-to-end correlation feature should be done automatically without custom configurations. Additionally, there should not be any configuration changes to the client-side when deploying the solution."
"Upgradability to it is a project instead of a patch. If it was actually an automated process to where it just fed updates to our product that would be great. Now, we have to spin up an effort to actually upgrade the solution."
"System incident analysis and performance monitoring need improvement."
"The upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
"They can make it easier to configure."
"I think as we're all moving forward to automated deployments, it'd be nice to have that out-of-the-box with this product."
"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."
"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."
"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 graphs and dashboard in the solution are areas that need improvement."
"It may lack some features other products in the category have like more detailed transaction tracking."
"Micro Focus Voltage SiteScope could improve by adding more features, such as cloud, APM, and DevOps monitoring."
"SiteScope isn't productive if you want to monitor RAM or if you want to monitor some URL."
"They should provide more templates for new vendor devices."
