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.

  • It alerted beforehand where the attention of a particular team was needed.
  • It removed the need of manual intervention every time, round the clock.
  • Once configured properly, the application needs little or no maintenance.
  • Privileges of users can be decided by the admin so the role based access helps a lot to decide the accesses.

  • A positive is that SiteScope has allowed us to be alerted and respond quicker in the event of issues.
  • A positive is that SiteScope does have reporting capabilities on monitoring history. You are able to look back and see trends of different monitors and therefore able to adjust your environment accordingly. This could potentially allow you to "downsize" different servers in regard to memory, disk space, CPU, or others.
  • A negative is that it is not a one stop shop solution. Unless you are all virtual and have no need to monitor physical components, then you will need something else along side this.
  • A negative is that there is no real true discovery. Not like others you may have sampled (i.e. Solar Winds). The plus in that 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.
