Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"It is a very stable product."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management is easily scalable."
"What I like best about BMC TrueSight Operations Management is that it allows you to do granular monitoring and improves VM load."
"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"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."
"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"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."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"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."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"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."
"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."
