Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."We have easily created use case testing harnesses for specific flows that incorporate various message types."
"It allows non-technical users to inspect their individual components within the total infrastructure without disturbing other components and without bothering the technical teams."
"The administration piece makes it very easy to do MQ administration. It gives us a lot more flexibility and capabilities."
"It's what we use for monitoring our MQ system, so the features that they provide are just really, really good."
"Monitoring that ties into our incident management system"
"It has role-based access to queues, giving us more insights into problems."
"It takes a lot of the headache out of managing your data centers and software in other places."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"This solution allows us to standardize all of the reports for monitoring the network, so it helps a lot for auditing purposes."
"We desire a dashboard that could accumulate BOQ lengths per tenant on one screen for all tenants."
"Some of the graphics in the interface could be improved. It's pretty basic. Some interfaces are not up to what you're used to seeing on other, more Windows-like tools."
"One area where they could improve is with their documentation. Some sections are not up to date with new release information and providing additional samples in some areas would be very helpful."
"We are still working with the FTE/MFT subscription monitoring and reporting functionality. That is an area in which we would like to see further development taking place."
"The user interface could be sexier and more ergonomic. The competing products have similar problems."
"The UI can be cumbersome - but we are still using the Viper interface and we have not had the time to check out the Alloy interface which is supposed to be much improved."
"The initial setup should be easier to complete."
"All of the areas of reporting are very bad and need to be improved."
"In terms of features that could be improved, I would say the agent integration into the operating system. We are having difficulties integrating Linux into some of the networking devices."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"Stability and some performance issues exist and they need improvement."
"The GI is difficult to work with and the reporting servers are also difficult."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
