Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."TSOM's ability to consolidate alerts into a single location and provide filtering of alerts is great."
"It is a very stable product."
"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"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 solution's event management capabilities are fantastic. We do a best of breed. If, on the network side, they use a different tool, we pull all that data in so that we have a single console. It's kind of like the monitor of monitors. We're able to aggregate all the different types of data sets, whether it's log data, app data, OS data, infrastructure data, or network data. We're able to aggregate all those events and then correlate and be able to say we're having an event."
"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We can verify uptimes as another source of keeping devices in compliance."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"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."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"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."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"We were somewhat limited in TrueSight due to some of the RBAC controls not quite being what we wanted as far as delegating out administrative privileges for implementation. But because we were able to turn requests around pretty well, that burden wasn't too heavy."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"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."
"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"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 version compatibility needs work."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"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 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."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
