Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."It covers from mainframe, all the way to dotcom, for example. CA currently covers Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Office 365 monitoring."
"It has a random transaction trace which gives our customers the ability to look at how their transaction performs."
"Attribute decoration is a unique and very powerful feature. We can add meaningful meta information based on our internal demand."
"The executive dashboard we created gives a lot of visibility. There's no working on something for a little bit before someone knows."
"The deep-process instrumentation gave us an opportunity to understand application process performance in detail."
"Gives us the ability to know how our application is performing in real-time."
"We are able to spot issues much quicker with the use of the out-of-the-box metrics given to us by CA. But we also develop that further with the use of the EPA Agent and expand what we can give and show the business by creating our own scripts. This has allowed us to develop our own self-monitoring and before anybody else sees the issue we are on hand to solve that as quickly as possible."
"If there's something that you really need to get at that doesn't come out of the box, you can pretty easily put together some custom metrics and get those in place."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"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."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"It should be easier to install or set everything up. "
"They can make it easier to configure."
"With respect to SQL monitoring, it would be nice to have a little more information because it doesn't provide the full statement all of the time."
"Needs custom dashboards."
"The technical support is very poor."
"The front-end representation should match other competitors such as AppDynamics."
"Broadcom DX Application Performance Management could improve its supportability to the current technologies and the end-to-end correlation feature should be done automatically without custom configurations. Additionally, there should not be any configuration changes to the client-side when deploying the solution."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive and address support tickets more quickly."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"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."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"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."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
