Find out what your peers are saying about Dynatrace, New Relic, AppDynamics and others in Mobile APM."The synthetic alert is the most valuable feature in New Relic APM. I also like the time travel feature and find traceability useful in the solution. New Relic APM also has good response times."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"They instrument up from the bottom to the top – every piece of code - they have a very perfect read of what’s being done, and how long it’s taking."
"It gives insights to non-technical people about what technical issues are most important, how much it impacts customers, and potentially, where we should be targeting our development teams when they have time."
"It has a simple initial setup."
"We appreciate the way that this solution allows us to monitor the ongoing status of the UI at any given time."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It is easy to track and easy to follow."
"It has in-depth analysis using developer code for someone whose not traditionally a developer."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"We would like a dashboard feature to be created for this product. This would allow us to monitor both the front and back-end of our UIs performance, and then report on it."
"In addition, its difficult to have a predictive tool to see how the application would behave in the future when it basically only shows the historical data."
"They need to improve the alerting and dashboarding as these are the key features in DevOps."
"The connectivity between legacy and newer cloud applications is not great."
"The initial setup can be made easier. Like Mixpanel, New Relic can also have a step-by-step guide for the setup process."
"The deployment process could be improved."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"There has been some problem with the agent, and it is just not working well. It is not able to record information with the application server. They have been able to fix the issue, but it took quite a long time. This is the main issue in the APM products and also in New Relic. The mobile application monitoring has been pretty difficult to set up and also quite expensive. It should be a little bit easier and cheaper. Because it is pretty difficult and expensive, many customers don't take it."
"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."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"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."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
