"The ability to pull hosts together to show what processes are running, so it can be used for change management."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are alert management, alert generation, and event management."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"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."

"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"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."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"In our company, we faced some issues with the solution’s application endpoint, IP, and the physical location of the transactions."
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
"BMC's online documentation is often incorrect or incomplete."
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"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."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"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 would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
