Pros
"InfoVista 5View NetFlow allows us to control the application layer and manage API connections, i.e. Facebook logins or whatever other third-party API services we require."

More InfoVista 5View NetFlow Pros →

"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end.""Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost.""Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents.""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.""With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session.""It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers.""Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."

Cons
"A little bit better documentation on the details is needed because this subject is not easy sometimes to understand, which limits the capability of the software."

More InfoVista 5View NetFlow Cons →

"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.""I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database.""I want to see mobile access application in the next release.""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.""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.""The version compatibility needs work.""I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
