Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."I believe that the ease of use and UI is great"
"It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
"What I like best about BMC TrueSight Operations Management is that it allows you to do granular monitoring and improves VM load."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"Its event management capabilities are very open and flexible. I haven't seen a use case scenario with a customer that we couldn't actually solve the problem for, so it's really good. There are some interesting things that happen in an enterprise network (things that people don't normally expect), and the event management product is very flexible. You can solve problems as far as your imagination can go with it."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"I like everything about this tool. I recommend this solution to anyone looking for a standalone solution with high availability meaning that can be used depending on the customers requirements."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"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."
"The solution could improve its price."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"There are some small limitations with this tool in terms of reporting dashboards that fit all of the requirements of the individual customer."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"Specifically around application performance monitoring, BMC is definitely not the market leader. The Dynatraces, the New Relics and the like are more of the market leaders in that space. I would like to see them grow that space a little bit more aggressively. It has not really been their bread and butter."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"In a large company of our size, we need multiple people in our company trained. So, I have to take the training classes. Then, I have to go and train the rest of my organization. I would prefer to say to the other people on my team, "Go to this link and..." Or, "Here's a list of training sessions that you can go to which are online and that are free." I think it would help the adoption of their product in the marketplace, personally."
"The pricing could be better."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"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."
