"The best feature of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that it lets you find errors in synthetic jobs ahead of the users. The solution shows you all front-end metrics. You can also see JavaScript errors and jQuery errors through AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring. You can also do a correlation between the front end and the backend, or from the user to the navigator, to the backend through the solution."
"The most valuable feature is that we can see how our end-users are interacting with our application across regions."
"It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."

"I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications."
"I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."
"AppD is really cool and a unified solution for both APM and APM centric Analytics side. We can show almost all business data within the APM context from the end-user perspetive. But this process is a little bit manual. If they catch and map business journeys based on customer interaction on the browser automatically, it should be really fine."
"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."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"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 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."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"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."
"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."
