Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."It is a very stable product."
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"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 most valuable features of the solution are alert management, alert generation, and event management."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"The tool is flexible enough to be customized based on customer requirements."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"Its event management capabilities are very open and flexible. I haven't seen a use case scenario with a customer that we couldn't actually solve the problem for, so it's really good. There are some interesting things that happen in an enterprise network (things that people don't normally expect), and the event management product is very flexible. You can solve problems as far as your imagination can go with it."
"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."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"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."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"The solution could improve its price."
"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"I definitely would like to see more improvement in the self-diagnostics. I need to know when anything is not working or collecting, long before our customer finds it."
"Reporting would be an area for improvement in TrueSight... We have almost 800 customers today on TrueSight and just under 10,000 assets. We need to be able to give a customer some information. If the customer's product fails, they'll ask us, "Did it have a problem beforehand?" We have all those events and we know all the problems it had beforehand. We have to be able to give them access to that kind of reporting. That's an enhancement that we need."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"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."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"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."
