We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Quest Foglight for APM [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The solution's event management capabilities are fantastic. We do a best of breed. If, on the network side, they use a different tool, we pull all that data in so that we have a single console. It's kind of like the monitor of monitors. We're able to aggregate all the different types of data sets, whether it's log data, app data, OS data, infrastructure data, or network data. We're able to aggregate all those events and then correlate and be able to say we're having an event."
"The event management tool builds correlation logic and protection algorithms into a field of events that is valuable when a data center goes down."
"From an administrative standpoint, what stands out in TrueSight is the ability to implement quickly. When they have a requirement to monitor something, we're able to turn that on quickly in their environment. We're able to set up new apps within a day."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"We're using native monitoring capabilities for all our server hardware, for visibility for applications, for URLs, for webpage response and accuracy, and for monitoring network throughput in a lot of particular instances. We're using lightweight protocols for pinging, for DNS, for LDAP."
"The ability of this platform to monitor the very diverse assets that we maintain around the world is its most valuable feature... We support a vast array of manufacturers' equipment, like HP, IBM, Cisco, Dell, EMC, Hitachi... We can do it all with [this] one [solution]."
"The tool is flexible enough to be customized based on customer requirements."
"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"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."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"I would like to see a little more out-of-the-box event correlation and expanded AIOps type capabilities. Where you can train your artificial intelligence operations to be able to memorize an issue once you encounter one scenario, so if you encounter that same problem, you can get to the root cause very quickly."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"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."
"The solution is overly complex."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"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."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"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."
"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."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
