Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The noise reduction for ticketing works much better than we have seen in a lot of other companies."
"I like the event management part."
"I like the deep-dive detail and end-user metrics data. The synthetic monitor is the best one. The best point of the new one is that there's no need for configuration. You can inject the Java script and start to change major developments in the application. This is a good approach, and we received all the data using this."
"What I like best about BMC TrueSight Operations Management is that it allows you to do granular monitoring and improves VM load."
"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."
"It has provided us with a single location to host all events to be viewed/monitored by our NOC. This has greatly helped them to streamline their processes."
"I use the solution to monitor servers, databases, Windows, Linux, and web services."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"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."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"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"
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"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."
"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 product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"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."
"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."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
