We performed a comparison between Dynatrace, Oracle Real User Experience Insight, and Quest Foglight for APM [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The stability is rock solid. We put a lot of stress on it."
"Reduced incidents, as alert monitoring aids in quicker resolution of events."
"Helps us in understanding what elements on the page contribute to load time and the primary areas to focus on for improvement."
"Our customers are now able to control their infrastructure with a single tool, and can easily check the connections with all components."
"You can see every step a transaction goes through, which servers it hits, and what technology it uses."
"The technical support has always been responsive."
"Automation and anomaly detection has helped reduce MTTR and MTBF."
"The most valuable function is the ability to replay a customer session."
"The customers requires redundancy work to achieve a 99.999% uptime. To accomplish this, we installed this solution into storage. This setup ensures that if one node goes down, the system remains operational through another node. So that's the core aspect of the setup. Additionally, the schedule and the rental database run on servers, and behind these servers, we have storage. This storage operates as a single storage cluster, although there might be another storage option that costs around $30."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to Drill down to webpage actions."
"The availability of the solution is its most valuable aspect. I can also Google anything I want and upload it on the cloud. I can do that using the mobile app. It is very helpful."
"ORUEI lets you create a dashboard that shows you insight into the user experience."
"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."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"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."
"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."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"There was complexity to AppMon and getting everything set, but more specifically getting the dashboard setup."
"I would like to see income monitoring for the servers and infrastructure monitoring."
"The analytics feature provides us some information, but is limited for now. We want to see how we can consume the data further down and have analytics guys look at the datacenter information."
"I would like to see Dynatrace be more user-friendly. Sometimes there are too many options to use from, which is good, but it can become confusing on how to proceed."
"The user interface is complicated, but recent web versions are getting better all the time."
"If the user interface were made more intuitive then it would really benefit the product."
"C language integration requires manual implementation through the SDK, which is rather difficult and time consuming."
"I would like to have something more along the lines of the old DC RUM, because we have lot of clients with old technologies, legacy technology, and we really want to integrate it with Dynatrace so that they can use just one single product. So, it needs better integration with legacy products."
"Currently, it monitors web applications well, but ORUEI doesn't monitor mobile applications yet. It would be nice if they also added the ability to monitor mobile apps."
"There are instances of imitation, like with processors. As customers, we aim to develop this area, particularly focusing on the networking facility and connectivity. The challenge lies in the connection between the DC and MDR, which is quite distant. The link between them needs to be reliable. When direct fiber isn't available, they resort to using dark fiber, which can lead to some limitations. This situation presents another layer of complexity, requiring approximately 11 feet of additional infrastructure. This is essential for ensuring that applications have minimal latency. In the event of any issues, an account is set up for cache memory to ensure that the system remains operational and can recover data from the cache as needed. Additionally, I have a secondary aspect to consider."
"The application resource usage has increased due to using RUEI."
"It would be nice if the solution could be integrated with Outlook. If I'm signing any quotation, any proposal, or any of my communications, I should be able to update that Oracle application as well."
"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."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"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."
"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."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"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."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
