    Chose OpenText SiteScope
    Like I've mentioned before, SiteScope is a basic overall monitoring tool used primarily for the helpdesk here at my company. We do not use it from a detail perspective in the networking area. SolarWinds is primarily for that since it is more detail oriented. Uptime is really …

    Chose OpenText SiteScope
    Nagios can also do most of the things that HP sitescope can do, but HP sitescope is right on target when it comes to infrastructure monitoring and also cost effective which is why we selected HP sitescope. We also have teh iPhone and Android apps which are very useful for …

    As far as the interface goes Solarwinds is much prettier and intuitive but it is also a very busy interface which makes navigation difficult at times. Also setting up alerting under Solarwinds requires you access the desktop of the machine running the application whereas …

    I will begin by saying that I "inherited" SiteScope". So, it really was not my choice as to whether or not I was going to use it. Also, we were so heavily ingrained in SiteScope, that it would have taken a HUGE overhaul of our monitoring system to switch to something else.

    SiteScope is definitely well suited in an HP server environment. It is also well suited for virtual server environments. It is also well suited for those who are happy with email and text based message alerting. It may not be appropriate in other environments where monitoring physical components is critical. Because HP SiteScope does not monitor certain physical components, it does fall short of being able to be a "one stop shop solution" in regard to monitoring. It is not well suited for those looking for logic in how alerts are sent and cascade to other people or groups.

    Cons
    OpenText
    • Sitescope is particularly used for infrastructure monitoring. Other kinds of monitors cannot be set using HP sitescope.
    • Sitescope cannot have graphs like splunk which is why we have splunk as well which is an additional cost for the company.
    • We can't have a direct regex operations on data inside HP sitescope. We need to have the logs placed as a single log and then do that.

    Can't really answer this. Setup was easy and no support has really been used at this point.

    • Sitescope does exactly what it was purchased for. It may take some time to set it up but once its set up it is a rock solid product.
