Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"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 tailoring of the knowledge modules has been particularly useful as I can streamline the agents to only report on critical events."
"I use the solution to monitor servers, databases, Windows, Linux, and web services."
"It is a stable solution."
"I believe that the ease of use and UI is great"
"It is a very stable product."
"The fact that they have a very integrated relationship with Sentry Software, the Knowledge Module, is valuable... The richest feature for us is the number of Knowledge Modules that we can load into the product to add breadth of service to the customer. It enables us to move up the operational stack from hardware, to operating system, to application, and to cloud... That enables us to provide one pane of glass over all those layers - hardware, OS, app, and cloud."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"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."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"In our company, we faced some issues with the solution’s application endpoint, IP, and the physical location of the transactions."
"The solution could improve its price."
"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."
"The graphs are extremely limited. We don't have a lot of dashboard options. To make reports and dashboards more useful, we usually need to integrate some dashboard solutions."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"There are some small limitations with this tool in terms of reporting dashboards that fit all of the requirements of the individual customer."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"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."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"We are running a Webmethods stack (Software AG) and Foglight is unable to instrument. We are in a POC with Dynatrace and it was able to instrument with little effort."
"The version compatibility needs work."
