Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."BMC TrueSight Operations Management is easily scalable."
"The noise reduction for ticketing works much better than we have seen in a lot of other companies."
"I believe that the ease of use and UI is great"
"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."
"What I like best about BMC TrueSight Operations Management is that it allows you to do granular monitoring and improves VM load."
"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]."
"TSOM's ability to consolidate alerts into a single location and provide filtering of alerts is great."
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"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."
"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."
"One of the things that the TrueSight environment is missing is some of the HA abilities. The data collection server called the ISM doesn't really have the HA functionality or workload balancing. It was missing from the previous product as well. It's missing redundancy."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"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 could improve its price."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"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."
"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 want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
