Pros
"The initial setup was fairly easy."

More BMC Compuware Strobe Pros →

"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Diagnostics is the information reported from an application that has timed out. For example, when you're Googling, or you're booking a ticket for Burj Khalifa here, the longest tower in the world, there are situations where the system can time out. There are times when you might not receive a response on the payment gateway or you are not able to find the reservation. The customer only receives the information that the session has timed out.""For banking and telecom solutions, it's been quite useful.""The diagnostics and configuration are the solution's most valuable aspects."

More BMC Compuware Strobe Cons →

"The interface is very old, and not very user-friendly. Most of our clients don't like the UI.""The GUI and metrics of Micro Focus Diagnostics can be improved. The metrics the solution gathers can be limited and could be enhanced by giving more details.""The interface could be more user friendly."
