Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"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."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"The product’s auto-remediation feature helps with automation."
"We have found the scalability capabilities to be okay."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"I like some of their newer features, such as maintenance schedules, because SCOM records SLA and SLO time."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process. The system tells you what the bi-weekly or monthly usage was and that enables us to report this information to the manager. It shows if there was a connectivity issue that needs to be fixed and it's easier to concentrate on what needs to get fixed. System errors, therefore, get fixed faster."
"It discovers the components automatically, which is a fantastic thing. The discovery works in an automatic way, and it has a dynamic way of discovering the components, assets, and applications. It doesn't require any manual intervention."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"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."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"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."
"Direct integration with third-party tools, like ticketing systems, is lacking but would be beneficial."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
"Of course, price is always an issue with Microsoft and could be improved."
"Stability and some performance issues exist and they need improvement."
"It would be a much better product if Microsoft provided management packs with the product."
"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."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"The GI is difficult to work with and the reporting servers are also difficult."
