User Testimonials
	Micro Focus AppPulse Suite (discontinued)	OpenText Business Process Monitor
Likelihood to Recommend	Discontinued Products From my point of view, when we are working with a medium package project, this Micro Focus AppPulse Suite is very useful and effective at finding problems in our activities and codes and isolating them. But when we are working on large-size projects or backend performances, it works slowly to detect issues. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	OpenText It is really good to have Business Process Monitor for being proactive with monitoring critical business services. And it is even more recommended along with APM. However, you will still need some training in order to configure them as they are sophisticated tools.

Pros	Discontinued Products Monitoring user web activities from the user's point of view. Gives status details as clear dashboard formats. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	OpenText Being proactive in monitoring critical business services. Uses pre-saved scripts using Vugen. Almost all protocols are supported by it.

Cons	Discontinued Products It's getting slow when we work with large projects. At first it's hard to find some features. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	OpenText It depends heavily on Vugen so it would be great to give more courses on writing scripts in the Business Process Monitor trainings. When issues arise, we don't have insights into if the issue is from the script itself or if it is a real issue. Here you lose trust in determining which is right until you interfere personally. As an example, one day I got an alert from a business server and the issue was that the script didn't finish successfully and thus it kept the session opened. So the next schedule of the script will fail, not because there is a real issue on the business service, but because you need to go yourself open the application, close all pages, then log out so that the script will continue to monitor.

Support Rating	Discontinued Products Overall the support is good. Most of the hard situations passed smoothly because of the support team. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	OpenText No answers on this topic

Return on Investment	Discontinued Products With effective dashboard, it describes everything easily. Easy to setup and have some difficulties to handle. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	OpenText Proactive. Monitors critical services by simulating every step you could use and get alerts for performance issues and availability issues. Has almost all the needed protocols to write a script.
