Monitoring end-user activity has improved visibility into device and application performance

In my opinion, Riverbed can make Alluvio Aternity better by having the same Aternity agent help in security, such as antivirus or EDR, which would be useful, allowing customers to avoid having multiple agents installed on their endpoint machines. Deploying multiple agents can use the processor and utilize memory, so it's better to go with one agent. If one agent can do end-user activity monitoring and act as an EDR, then it would be better for the end-user, allowing easy avoidance of installing multiple agents on their machines.

Technical Solution Architect at Vodafone

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The advanced dashboards allow operations teams the ability to focus on outliers."

"We're now able to get a real measurement of user productivity."

"We have pictures from the backend, from a network or a server perspective, but we didn't have any user data; collecting that data manually was pretty time-intensive and relatively inaccurate, and with Aternity, we now have the data."

"As a financial institution, we have a lot of applications that are either written internally or bought from a vendor and customized for us. Having a tool that lets us monitor specific transactions in those applications allows us to focus on the transactions that are important to the business."

"The application response time. That's what our business has been having a problem with."

"While it also provides desktop metrics, the main thing we use it for is monitoring our applications."

"The most valuable feature is the alerting. As soon as we click on an incident, it takes us directly to the problematic PC. It's a direct solution. We click on an alert and it takes us to the incident details. The details show in different colors, in a graphical representation, and I like that the most."

"It's all about being proactive and solving problems before they're big."

More Alluvio Aternity 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."

"Agentless data collection supporting a big number of monitor metrics."

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

"I would recommend the product."

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

"The most valuable feature of OpenText SiteScope is that it is easy to manage and user-friendly."

"SiteScope is very intuitive and we've been able to accomplish what we want very quickly and efficiently compared to IBM."

"I find OpenText SiteScope itself to be uncomplicated and deserving of a ten out of ten due to its simplicity."

More OpenText SiteScope pros

Cons

"The thing that I think most companies like ourselves would want would be an easier way to customize custom scripts."

"It is definitely a premium solution; it is not an inexpensive product. We have to ensure that we are getting the most out of it in order to justify the cost."

"To monitor these transactions, you need to look at it, analyze it and capture it. It requires a little bit of work, but in an environment like ours, you need it to be easier."

"The process of doing the application recording is a bit cumbersome."

"I would like to get more granular detail. In regards to defining the applications and activities upfront, that can be challenging. Simplifying that would be a big win. One of the things that I know they are already working on is a verbose mode."

"They've additionally added some great color coding, but they need to explain better and drive down further on the meanings of this workflow."

"I would say the reporting capabilities of this product could use room for improvement. The standard reports that are given are not the greatest, and no custom ones can be created; however, I am told that the latest version of Aternity offers this!"

"Their technical support should be improved in terms of response time. Its stability should also be better. We are currently using version 10, and its stability is not so high. The server crashes from time to time and needs to be restarted. Sometimes, you also have problems with applications."

More Alluvio Aternity cons

"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."

"More out of the box Cloud integration and capabilities. Currently there's one for Amazon."

"They need to offer better technical support, which, right now, is not helpful or responsive."

"Micro Focus SiteScope is a little slow to load when I go to load it up, and it's not as intuitive as some of the other programs, such as SolarWinds."

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

"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."

"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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair."

"It’s a little on the costly side, but if you license intelligently, accounting for your various hosts connecting in through VDI or terminal servers, you can make it well worth your money."

"I thought the price for Alluvio Aternity was reasonable, but we had difficulty selling it in our market due to the minimum number of agents required for deployment, which I believe was around 500."

"The solution's price is pretty comparable to the industry."

"If the scale of your monitoring will be to go everywhere in an organization, a site license is key."

"You have to purchase it for 12 months, which is an issue because a lot of our customers are on a per-user-per-month type billing. There are a few additional costs. A lot of customers only get the essential licenses, and then they get what they call the application add-ons on top. They have to pay depending on how many customers and applications they want to monitor."

"Its licensing cost is very low. That's one of the reasons why we have kept it for so long. We get more than a 70% discount on the maintenance licenses. Its cost is very low for us, but if you buy it new, it would be much more expensive at the retail price."

"The price for Alluvio Aternity is favorable."

More Alluvio Aternity pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"Licensing is a little steep."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."
