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.

Achieve seamless incident response with valuable monitoring capabilities and reliable alerts

There are multiple features related to OpenText SiteScope monitoring that I have found to be very useful, such as SSL monitoring. If SSL is present as a file in a server, then OpenText SiteScope is a very effective tool to monitor when that certificate expires. It provides comprehensive information related to SSL certificates and log monitoring. If any kind of required keyword monitoring is present in the log file, OpenText SiteScope has excellent functionality for monitoring. It is very easy to configure and obtain the correct information related to end-user requirements. The agentless monitoring feature of OpenText SiteScope is particularly impressive and easy to configure and gather information from. According to the operations team perspective, there is no impact related to resource management from the agentless monitoring. It demonstrates very low resource consumption related to its functionality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is being able to monitor the productivity of every employee in the company as well as third-party, outsourced companies that work on our behalf."

"The most valuable features for us are the Incident Management dashboard, Application Status dashboard, and Activity Analysis UI."

"The dashboards of this platform are the most valuable, especially the Desktop Health dashboard."

"From my experience, this reduces the troubleshooting time by 70 or 80 percent."

"The degree to which Aternity customer support is proactive is off the charts."

"Other features we use heavily are the WiFi analyzer, the Skype for Business analyzer, and the troubleshooting functionalities. We also use the Device Health quite religiously here for troubleshooting devices that are unhealthy, when we're talking about things like high CPU or memory consumption, or file system problems within the users' workstations."

"The most valuable feature is the application performance troubleshooting because Aternity is able to provide the performance from the end-user perspective. It doesn't just give the standard application logon time, etc., rather it's also able to measure the performance inside the application, the performance of specific transactions in the application, and break it down into three elements: the client time, the network time, and the server time. This gives us a lot of insights into what we need to focus on to improve the performance of an application."

"The detailed level of information you are able to get on the complete environment all of the way down to a specific machine."

More Alluvio Aternity pros

"It's a monitoring tool that's deeply integrated with Performance Center, allowing us to put a load on it and see all the information we need, and it's an inexpensive solution."

"It's integrated with different monitoring tools, such as AppDynamics."

"There's no agent you need installed on the servers. In our environment, we have some servers out of our control so we cannot manage them. We use SiteScope to monitor the availability, the resources on the servers, etc. This allows us to do this job without installing agents so there's no need to take care of anything on the server."

"Being able to create your monitors for monitoring your internal URLs and databases and other things like that is valuable."

"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."

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

"The biggest benefit I see from OpenText SiteScope is that it is a very professional tool, and it helps me greatly."

"The product's readymade templates are perfect. It supports us a lot when we don't have much experience with the product. The templates offers us direction to proceed."

More OpenText SiteScope pros

Cons

"I would say the reporting capabilities of this product could use room for improvement."

"Aternity does provide performance numbers, the data. However, it doesn't tell you what you can do about it. It just presents the facts. How to interpret the data, and how to draw conclusions from a lot of the data, requires knowledge and experience. That's the part that I would hope Aternity can continue to explore and give us that kind of capability."

"Riverbed is costly in the Indian market; I would rate the pricing for Alluvio Aternity as a higher price."

"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."

"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."

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

"I would improve the dashboard, the presentation player."

"I’d like to be able to build monitors easier. That has to be an easier process, and they need to make the program less complicated."

More Alluvio Aternity cons

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

"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."

"If you're considering Sitescope as your sole or primary monitoring tool, I suggest you take a look around - there are better options for you."

"They should provide more templates for new vendor devices."

"The lack of an agent means that remote monitoring requires multiple firewall ports to be opened."

"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."

"May require a dashboard for the data collected"

"The graphs and dashboard in the solution are areas that need improvement."

More OpenText SiteScope cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding cost, compared to other solutions, Aternity is pretty low. It's definitely lower-cost than others that we looked at, like Nexthink."

"In my opinion they are asking a lot for their SaaS solution, but I also know that that's the direction they're going... The current, on-prem solution is probably a fair price."

"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."

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

"It's not a cheap product. There are no two ways about that. If you compare it with a couple of the other solutions operating in the space, it might be on the slightly more expensive side, but it is one of those tools where, once you've got it, you understand the true value. You will get that money back."

"The pricing is fair."

"Our management squeezed Aternity pretty hard on the pricing, in my opinion a little too much. I advise negotiating for sure, but I do think it left kind of a sour taste in Aternity’s mouth that we were being so pushy despite the fact that we were only purchasing a small number of licenses."

"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."

More Alluvio Aternity pricing and cost advice

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

"You have to pay for their "solution templates". Other tools do not charge you for knowledge-based monitoring bundles."

"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."

"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."

"Licensing is a little steep."

"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."

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