Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"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."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"It works better than other products I’ve used – namely SolarWinds, which is cumbersome and error prone for web app monitoring. SCOM is not."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"The product’s auto-remediation feature helps with automation."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"Being able to make and customize management packs and send out notifications is very valuable."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"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."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"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."
"All of the areas of reporting are very bad and need to be improved."
"The solution’s initial setup is difficult."
"I would like more customized reports. People should have some customization option on the dashboards for whenever they put multiple lists into it. Beyond customizing the content, there should be the ability to customize the colors so that they can engage some priority and mark challenges separately."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"In a future release, they should add email notification alerts."
"It would be a much better product if Microsoft provided management packs with the product."
"The initial setup should be easier to complete."
"The configurations could be better. There are multiple tests where you can do something, but they can be a trigger as well. The overriding methodologies are not that easy. The configurations are difficult. The configuration and thorough day-to-day operations to get them to the level you want takes some time. It's very difficult."
