Find out what your peers are saying about Dynatrace, New Relic, AppDynamics and others in Mobile APM."It is a one stop shop and integrated with PagerDuty seamlessly. The solution is pretty self-contained."
"The integration and configuration of New Relic is straightforward and easy."
"Support for plug-ins (RMQ, Redis etc.) is a valuable feature."
"Their technical support is pretty good and responsive. We have a real good relationship with them."
"We appreciate the way that this solution allows us to monitor the ongoing status of the UI at any given time."
"The solution is quite stable."
"It has the ability to monitor random URLs not tied to the one pinger per application (though it costs extra)."
"We have done the New Relic integration with Serverless AWS, which has helped us with monitoring, and keeping our monitoring from our on-premise part with the cloud part."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"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."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"There are certain features that are not supported in New Relic, such as CATSEARCH, which allows you to do a full-text search."
"In the next release, I'd like to see a better pricing structure."
"The APIs could be better. I would also like more APIs and features to integrate with streaming solutions, like Kinesis or Kafka."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment needs improvement on the filtering part. I would like it to go more granular on accounts."
"The customization of the start and end time is kind of cool."
"I would like to have storage monitoring. E.g., being able to monitor SANS, specifically protocols, like NFS and CIFS metrics."
"The price could improve."
"The product has good documentation for Linux, however, their documentation for Windows is lacking substantially. It's something they need to develop."
"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."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
