"This solution helps prove that, if we move to cloud, we'll still be as effective as we are on-premises."
"We get complete, hop-by-hop visibility into the internet and we can know how much latency is taking place from one hop to another. That way, we know whether a particular hop belongs to the ISP, or that it is something owned by our own client's office, or is something to do with the SaaS network."
"A lot of times one of the AppNeta transactions showed that there is an issue, whereas everything seemed to be working properly. Once we dug into it, we realized that it really was highlighting a problem that otherwise we would not have seen."
"The solution's technical support is very good."
"The main feature that we use is what they call Delivery, which is the testing of network paths end-to-end."
"Delivery and experience are valuable. The usage in terms of the traffic application captures and other similar things is also valuable."
"The product helps us understand networks and user experience. It helps us to understand the issues."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"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."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"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."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"I think some of the product's documentation has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"I would like to see some advanced dashboard features. It could also be integrated with third-party tools. For example, an integration with a reporting solution would be helpful. Out-of-the-box, there are few dashboards or reports. What it does have is useful, but there should be additional dashboards."
"AppNeta by Broadcom needs to add more features to its dashboards. It also needs to work on providing out-of-the-box reports."
"Instead of integrating with other people, they should expand their interior capabilities."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. That's one of the biggest pain points for me. I have shared this feedback with them multiple times, but they're limited to some extent. That's one area where I've seen a problem."
"They should try and make diagnostics run a bit quicker. When the problem occurs on a network, AppNeta runs automatic diagnostics on the end-to-end path. The path it was testing only to the destination, it now runs the same test to all of the devices and all the intermediate devices. Depending on the number of intermediate devices, it can take several minutes to run. If we're trying to find or diagnose a problem that only lasts two or three minutes, it may be that the diagnostics is still running by the time the problem is cleared. The only thing, which I have also mentioned to AppNeta in the past, is that there should be much faster and much more lightweight diagnostics, which can be completed within 30 seconds or one minute, rather than in 5 to 10 minutes."
"Having to deal with configuring the end devices using a USB stick is a bit cumbersome. It would be nice if there was a better way of handling that."
"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."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"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."
