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.

SiteScope - Helpdesk Loving It!!
We looked at introducing it as a general overview monitoring system. We started out in the network area for simple monitoring of network bandwidth, ping and smnp monitoring. From there we plan to expand it to server monitoring; CPU, disk space, memory, and overall performance monitoring. Last for the virtualization and cloud monitoring. We have been in the virtualization area for years and slowly moving into the cloud.

Best infrastructure monitoring tool that companies can use
We are using HP sitescope as one of the monitoring tool for alerts along with splunk. We use it along with shell scripts that will be triggered through Sitescope and send alerts based on the response. Splunk is not designed particularly for infrastructure monitoring and with Sitescope we have default monitoring for CPU processes, memory etc. We also do JVM monitoring with Sitescope which is difficult to do with splunk.
We are currently using HP Sitescope mostly to emulate a user using VuGen LoadRunner Scripts to log into our website to ensure our products are online. We also are using some of the monitors to verify services are running.

While not a "one stop shop", HP SiteScope is a highly customizable monitoring and alerting solution.
In my previous role, HP SiteScope was critical for us in our business. We mainly used it for monitoring, alerting, and notifying on the different servers and I.T. infrastructure equipment. It was definitely a necessity to have SiteScope up and running at all times so that we would be alerted in the event of another system or server having an issue or a problem.
SiteScope was mainly used by the I.T. Infrastructure team. However, other internal teams did make use of its specific alerting capabilities as SiteScope is very customizable.
The main business problem that SiteScope addressed was "how do we get alerts, notifications, and/or emails when there are true issues in our environment?" SiteScope was flexible enough to satisfy being the answer to this question. I will say this, that it, in and of itself, was not the sole solution, but rather a piece of our overall greater monitoring and alerting solution.
