"Monitoring that ties into our incident management system"
"The administration piece makes it very easy to do MQ administration. It gives us a lot more flexibility and capabilities."

"It allows non-technical users to inspect their individual components within the total infrastructure without disturbing other components and without bothering the technical teams."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"The UI can be cumbersome - but we are still using the Viper interface and we have not had the time to check out the Alloy interface which is supposed to be much improved."
"One area where they could improve is with their documentation. Some sections are not up to date with new release information and providing additional samples in some areas would be very helpful."
"We are still working with the FTE/MFT subscription monitoring and reporting functionality. That is an area in which we would like to see further development taking place."

"Some of the graphics in the interface could be improved. It's pretty basic. Some interfaces are not up to what you're used to seeing on other, more Windows-like tools."
"The user interface could be sexier and more ergonomic. The competing products have similar problems."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"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."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"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."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
