Customization Options: SiteScope offers a wide range of customization options, including custom monitors with custom thresholds, timing, polling, and more. Several users have praised the extensive customization capabilities of SiteScope, allowing them to tailor the monitoring system to their specific needs.
Alerting Capabilities: Users appreciate the ability to receive specific and data-filled alerts through email and text message capabilities. They also like that SiteScope allows for the inclusion of variables within these messages to provide a clear understanding of the alert. Many reviewers have mentioned this as a valuable feature that helps them stay informed about critical events in real-time.
Ease of Use: Despite its depth of customization options, SiteScope is considered easy to use by many users. They mention a short learning curve and feel that they can quickly master the system. This user-friendly interface has been highlighted by several reviewers as an advantage when it comes to effectively managing and monitoring their applications.
Limitation in monitoring physical components: Some users have expressed dissatisfaction with SiteScope as it does not monitor certain physical components such as power supplies, failed hard drives, and array controllers. This limitation may not meet the user's monitoring needs.
Lack of cascading alerting: Several reviewers have mentioned that the alerting system in SiteScope is an all or nothing type and does not offer the capability to configure alerts in a tiered manner. This lack of cascading alerting can be limiting for users who require more flexibility in their alert setup.
Absence of mobile application: Users have pointed out that SiteScope does not have a mobile application, which limits the options for receiving alerts to email and text messages unless integrated with another application. The absence of a dedicated mobile app may be seen as a drawback by some customers.
Users of the software have made several recommendations based on their experiences.
First, many users recommend the software as a reliable and stable solution for workflow automation and performance monitoring. They have found it to be an essential tool in managing their infrastructure and monitoring systems. With its active functionality, it has proven to be a valuable asset in their daily operations.

SiteScope Event Based Monitoring Platform For IT Infrastructure, Applications And Services

SiteScope- Does it live up to expectations? Find out below!
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 and routed to the correct teams from a central Monitoring Server.

SiteScope - Helpdesk Loving It!!
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 only used for knowing whether sites are up so we've transitioned that to SiteScope. Splunk is advanced and needs a lot more attention to maintain.

Best infrastructure monitoring tool that companies can use
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 monitoring on mobile devices as well.
- SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor
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 SiteScope does not. The Alerting is also much more difficult to setup correctly on SolarWInds where SiteScope is a breeze.

While not a "one stop shop", HP SiteScope is a highly customizable monitoring and alerting solution.
- SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor, SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor, WhatsUp Gold and VMTurbo Operations Manager
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 does not have a discovery option. Not like others you may have sampled (i.e. SolarWinds). The plus is that you monitor exactly what you want with no plethora of other junk you may not want. The "negative" is that you must set up all the monitors. I know I did mention the templates and copy/paste features, although it can be streamlined, it is still a manual process for each server. SiteScope is all a very manual process while others crawl your network and discover stuff.
