Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."I like the event management part."
"The initial setup of BMC TrueSight Operations Management was easy."
"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."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."
"Helix Innovation Studio is a very good feature. It allows us to develop our own enterprise applications and make them available for the customers."
"The tool is flexible enough to be customized based on customer requirements."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"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."
"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 stability of BMC TrueSight Operations Management needs improvement. My organization's infrastructure is vast and implemented based on BMC recommendations, but the solution needs to be optimized for large-capacity infrastructure."
"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."
"It's too complex, too many servers are required, there are too many different components in the solution, and a lot of agents are required."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"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."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"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."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"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."
