Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
"It is a very stable product."
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"The initial setup of BMC TrueSight Operations Management was easy."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"What I like best about BMC TrueSight Operations Management is that it allows you to do granular monitoring and improves VM load."
"It provides common administration, and a Single Sign-On Platform with RBAC, which eases the cross launch between multiple tools"
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"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."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"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."
"One of the things that the TrueSight environment is missing is some of the HA abilities. The data collection server called the ISM doesn't really have the HA functionality or workload balancing. It was missing from the previous product as well. It's missing redundancy."
"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."
"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."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"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."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"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."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
