Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"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."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"The solution is scalable. If you want to monitor more you have to buy more licenses, but you can add on. We don't plan to increase usage."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is real-time alerts."
"The product’s auto-remediation feature helps with automation."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"The stability has been great."
"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."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"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."
"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 “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
"System Center just provided upgrade and update features for Windows clients, and Windows systems, and did not support Linux, Android, or iOS, and other operating systems. They need to provide better integration with other operating systems if they don't already."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
"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."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
"It could use some system enhancements, such as better dashboards."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"The solution’s initial setup is difficult."
