Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."It is a stable solution."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"The most valuable features of BMC TrueSight Operations Management are the blackouts and event management."
"What I like best about BMC TrueSight Operations Management is that it allows you to do granular monitoring and improves VM load."
"The tool is flexible enough to be customized based on customer requirements."
"The event management tool builds correlation logic and protection algorithms into a field of events that is valuable when a data center goes down."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"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."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"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 solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"Reporting would be an area for improvement in TrueSight... We have almost 800 customers today on TrueSight and just under 10,000 assets. We need to be able to give a customer some information. If the customer's product fails, they'll ask us, "Did it have a problem beforehand?" We have all those events and we know all the problems it had beforehand. We have to be able to give them access to that kind of reporting. That's an enhancement that we need."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"The product must provide more AI capabilities."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"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 think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"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."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"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."
