You can easily scale it for high message rates, but it's primarily a flow-monitoring tool rather than an APM.
Autopilot is a middleware-centric business transaction monitoring tool that includes a Complex Event Processor (CEP) for transaction data. Architecture AutoPilot Probes are lightweight performance measurement and monitoring tools for live applications that are executed at defined points within the…

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.

Pros

"Nastel is a world-class company that has partnership amongst other positive qualities embedded into its cultural fiber."
"You can easily scale it for high message rates."
"Very simple to use and is a very useful tool."
"Flexible environment"
"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."
"Infrastructure monitoring is the most valuable feature."
"When coupled with OMi and Service Manager, it gives a 360 degree view of the service availability and performance SLAs."
"The monitoring capabilities have no limit; whatever you can imagine, you can monitor, even using URL monitors, database query monitors, and formula composite monitors, which are not common in other tools."
"It's a very flexible product so you can run a script out of it, even straight out of the box."
"SiteScope is very intuitive and we've been able to accomplish what we want very quickly and efficiently compared to IBM."
"Being able to do your queries from a single location and being able to nest all your monitors within folders is valuable."
"Has a simple setup. It can be up and running within hours."
 

Cons

"Documentation"
"Needs to quickly implement support for all variety of servers."
"The GUI is quite basic and middleware-centric."
"Quality Assurance testing for new releases need to be more thorough"
"SiteScope isn't productive if you want to monitor RAM or if you want to monitor some URL."
"The lack of an agent means that remote monitoring requires multiple firewall ports to be opened."
"The interface of OpenText SiteScope needs improvement. It has a Java-based interface, which is slow and could be simplified for better usability."
"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."
"We'd like a uniform interface for monitoring our system, since that's the purpose of SiteScope."
"It should improve its integrations with various tools, especially service management tools."
"It could be more reliable using a database repository instead of a log repository."
"We think that AppDynamics will do this in a more satisfactory way for us and we do not have this feature with SiteScope."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"SiteScope licensing can be node based-or monitor-based. I would recommend for node-based licensing."
"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."
"Licensing is a little steep."
"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."
"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."
"You have to pay for their "solution templates". Other tools do not charge you for knowledge-based monitoring bundles."
"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."
"Depending on your requirements, there are two licensing models available. A simple point model, or an endpoint model."
