Cons
"Currently, the information for management teams and technical teams are in the same view, but it would be useful if we could separate these views.""The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment.""The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime.""I would love if AppPulse delivered more details about my users, for example, age and sex. It could split up the users into categories based on how frequently they use my product.""The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi.""It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile.""I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization.""It could be better if you had any of the reports that the customers asked from us, for example, punctually. Unfortunately, the reporter is not that practical."

"I want to see mobile access application in the next release.""They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV.""It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment.""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.""The version compatibility needs work.""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."
