Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."I like the event management part."
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
"The event management tool builds correlation logic and protection algorithms into a field of events that is valuable when a data center goes down."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of BMC TrueSight Operations Management are the blackouts and event management."
"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is the dashboard presentation server."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"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"
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"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."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"BMC's online documentation is often incorrect or incomplete."
"The sizing (which is difficult), the maintenance of it and the upgrade paths. This is a difficult area which is not easy to cover, as every client has a different approach of implementing the product."
"I would like them to improve the deep-dive details, tracing, and data agents in this product. We have EUEM, an end-user experience monitoring appliance. This one's quicker than the current one, and reporting side and filtration side are very bad. There are many details we look at and explain what we receive information in the current one, but we cannot have historical data like we do with EUEM. We cannot have a powerful point to look for specific traffic from a specific application and a specific browser. We don't have it in the new one. The current BMC also needs to add the thing that control versions."
"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"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."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"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."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
