Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"I like the deep-dive detail and end-user metrics data. The synthetic monitor is the best one. The best point of the new one is that there's no need for configuration. You can inject the Java script and start to change major developments in the application. This is a good approach, and we received all the data using this."
"We're using native monitoring capabilities for all our server hardware, for visibility for applications, for URLs, for webpage response and accuracy, and for monitoring network throughput in a lot of particular instances. We're using lightweight protocols for pinging, for DNS, for LDAP."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"I like the event management part."
"I like everything about this tool. I recommend this solution to anyone looking for a standalone solution with high availability meaning that can be used depending on the customers requirements."
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"The ability to track performance of an application or application suite over time is extremely valuable to our business partners and for our application development team with near real time results."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"I would like to see a little more out-of-the-box event correlation and expanded AIOps type capabilities. Where you can train your artificial intelligence operations to be able to memorize an issue once you encounter one scenario, so if you encounter that same problem, you can get to the root cause very quickly."
"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"The product must provide more AI capabilities."
"In a large company of our size, we need multiple people in our company trained. So, I have to take the training classes. Then, I have to go and train the rest of my organization. I would prefer to say to the other people on my team, "Go to this link and..." Or, "Here's a list of training sessions that you can go to which are online and that are free." I think it would help the adoption of their product in the marketplace, personally."
"BMC's online documentation is often incorrect or incomplete."
"My only complaint from Foglight for monitoring is that you only get a plot for five minute average for metrics like CPU and Memory, on the application side I can see metrics more quickly at 15 seconds for metrics like active sessions, heap. I would like to see the same for CPU and memory."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"I want to see a new interface that contains HTML5 features. The current version of Foglight (on-premise edition) is so fusty in comparison with leaders of Gartner APM Quadrant - i.e. Appdynamics, NewRelic, Dynatrace."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
