Chose OpenText SiteScope
The product offers unique out of the box monitoring templates and offers the flexibility to create our own conditions for alert generation in case of an event. It integrates well with the other Micro Focus suite applications, hence all alerts from various tools can be viewed …
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 …
Chose OpenText SiteScope
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 …
Chose OpenText SiteScope

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.

Pros
OpenText
  • Alerts can be configured as per business requirement.

  • Severity, priority of tickets which are created upon a trigger can be well defined.
  • The teams which need to be alerted can be configured in the tool itself, in case of any event.

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.
