Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"It is a very stable product."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management is easily scalable."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"We can verify uptimes as another source of keeping devices in compliance."
"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."
"It provides common administration, and a Single Sign-On Platform with RBAC, which eases the cross launch between multiple tools"
"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."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"The sizing (which is difficult), the maintenance of it and the upgrade paths. This is a difficult area which is not easy to cover, as every client has a different approach of implementing the product."
"Specifically around application performance monitoring, BMC is definitely not the market leader. The Dynatraces, the New Relics and the like are more of the market leaders in that space. I would like to see them grow that space a little bit more aggressively. It has not really been their bread and butter."
"The stability of BMC TrueSight Operations Management needs improvement. My organization's infrastructure is vast and implemented based on BMC recommendations, but the solution needs to be optimized for large-capacity infrastructure."
"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."
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"There are some metrics I'd like to track that are difficult to find or implement into a tracking solution without a lot of manual work."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"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."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
