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.

Second, some users suggest that Micro Focus is a highly demanded tool in the market for experienced individuals. They recommend starting with this software as a stepping stone for a career in automation and believe it offers a reliable future.

Lastly, users highly recommend the software as a good enterprise product for monitoring production-grade applications. They advise implementing it alongside the OMi solution for optimal results. However, some users also suggest considering alternate solutions, indicating that there may be other options worth exploring.

SiteScope unified console is a powerful tool for operators to easily detect warnings and alerts grouped by its hierarchical organization with real-time status displaying continuously the whole health map.

Currently, the SiteScope front end only runs in internet explorer. Some configurations, integrations, and troubleshooting are complex to manage and perform.

It can be used to monitor the uptime and availability of the URLs in the production and non production environments and detailed reports of the URL availability can be extracted to check, monitor the performance of the URL in variety of regions from where it is accessed.
It requires specific knowledge of integration with the other Micro Focus tools for alerts generation and routing to correct focal points, so needs to improve a little on the UI part of the tool as it is a licensed tool and needs to ace the game for many free tools are also available in the market, which can do the job.

For a general overall monitoring purpose, SiteScope does it for you. SiteScope offers an overview in multiple areas, best used for helpdesk monitoring. Good insight for application, database, media, network, server, virtualization, and cloud. We setup a general monitor for our helpdesk with network and virtualization basic stats.

HP sitescope is mostly used if we need infrastructure monitoring. And in most companies, we have many servers and need to monitor their health and so Sitescope is a good buy for all such scenarios. It is not very useful when we want to have dashboards and depictions based on the data from Sitescope. We can't index the logs and create regex operations from those logs like we do in other monitoring tools.

SiteScope is very well suited to emulate users to log into sites. Any product can tell you whether a service is running but SiteScope can also perform performance metriocs on response tiles and alert if you fall above or below a threshold depending on how you set up the monitor.

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.
