"It is a stable solution."
"The ability to pull hosts together to show what processes are running, so it can be used for change management."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"It is a very stable product."
"The tool is flexible enough to be customized based on customer requirements."
"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."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"In our company, we faced some issues with the solution’s application endpoint, IP, and the physical location of the transactions."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"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."
"We were somewhat limited in TrueSight due to some of the RBAC controls not quite being what we wanted as far as delegating out administrative privileges for implementation. But because we were able to turn requests around pretty well, that burden wasn't too heavy."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"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."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"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."
"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."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
