Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The most valuable features of BMC TrueSight Operations Management are the blackouts and event management."
"TSOM's ability to consolidate alerts into a single location and provide filtering of alerts is great."
"Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is a very stable product."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"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 solution has a very good business event manager tool."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"The solution could improve its price."
"The graphs are extremely limited. We don't have a lot of dashboard options. To make reports and dashboards more useful, we usually need to integrate some dashboard solutions."
"The one piece that I would love to see is a general-purpose, configurable agent which would be a framework that you can deploy on anything, whether it be Java or anything else. It would allow you to easily deploy it on a platform that they support."
"We have a unique use case because BMC typically sells this solution into enterprises that are deploying it within their IT, versus to a managed services provider like us where we're supporting thousands of customers. Multi-tenancy and the scalability have been challenges along the way, as we've grown... If anything could have gone better as we were ramping this up and adding a lot of volume to it, I would say it's the scalability. That would be one thing that could be improved."
"The sizing (which is difficult), the maintenance of it and the upgrade paths. This is a difficult area which is not easy to cover, as every client has a different approach of implementing the product."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"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."
"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."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"The version compatibility needs work."
