Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."We enjoy the multistep API tests."
"Its integration is most valuable because you can integrate it with various service providers such as AWS, .Net, etc."
"Using the data, our operation teams works with the dashboards to get their statistics, analytics, etc."
"The integration and configuration are incredibly simple. The SaaS offering is remarkably easy to set up, especially if you're coming from a Graphite environment or anything that uses a StatsD."
"Datadog has made it much easier to have a central place for people to look for logs and made it much easier to notify them of any elevated error rates or failures."
"I like that you can build out a dashboard pretty quickly. There are some things that come out of the box that you don't really need to do, which is great because they're default settings."
"It helps us better manage our logs."
"I really enjoy the RUM monitoring features of Datadog. It allows us to monitor user behavior in a way we couldn't before."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"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."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"The installation is easy for me. However, if you are new to this solution it might not be so easy."
"The parallel editing of the dashboards should not cause users to lose the work of another person."
"I would love to see more metrics or analytics in IoT devices."
"Even though it is powerful on its own, the UI-based design lacks elegance, efficiency, and complexity."
"I've found that the documentation is lacking in certain regards."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"I found the solution to be stable, I did not experience any bugs or glitches. However, some of the managing team did."
"The Log Explorer could be better. I don't think it has log manipulation as Splunk does."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"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."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
