Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."For banking and telecom solutions, it's been quite useful."
"The diagnostics and configuration are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"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."
"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."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"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."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware ​environments, including top consumers of resources."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"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."
"The interface is very old, and not very user-friendly. Most of our clients don't like the UI."
"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."
"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 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."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
