Application Performance Management
Comparison of Application Performance Management features of Product A and Product B
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.
Custom monitors with custom thresholds, timing, polling, and many other configuration options.
Custom ways to alert and notify. Of course you have email and text message capabilities, but SiteScope also allows for specific messages and variables within those messages to be sent out so that your alert is data filled and you can know exactly what is going on and why you received that specific alert.
Monitor templates for quick and rapid deployment of one's standard set of monitors. Easy ability to "copy" and "paste" monitors so there is no need to re-create from scratch.
Scripting. SiteScope also allows for custom scripts to be called from specific alerting triggers. This allows for HUGE and POWERFUL customization and automation through SiteScope. You can easily have scripts that "take action" on a specific alert so you don't have to!!
Very easy to use in my opinion. Learning curve is very short and you can master this system fairly quickly for all of the depth of customization that it offers.
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.
