We performed a comparison between Broadcom DX Application Performance Management, Oracle Real User Experience Insight, and Quest Foglight for APM [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...there is a very easy way to deal with it by adding more servers to the application."
"It's a very stable product."
"The way these tools show the information is very useful. this is a tool that records information from Java and .NET applications, and obtain information about how many times an method has been call in a period of time (usually 30 sec), how many times respond in this span of time or is delayed or stall."
"For the most part, we run constantly without any issue at this point because of APM."
"Enables me to monitor multiple servers, applications, resources, and users"
"Helps the development team to fine-tune and proactively manage the application."
"If there's something that you really need to get at that doesn't come out of the box, you can pretty easily put together some custom metrics and get those in place."
"I found the solution's end-to-end analysis and flexibility most valuable."
"The customers requires redundancy work to achieve a 99.999% uptime. To accomplish this, we installed this solution into storage. This setup ensures that if one node goes down, the system remains operational through another node. So that's the core aspect of the setup. Additionally, the schedule and the rental database run on servers, and behind these servers, we have storage. This storage operates as a single storage cluster, although there might be another storage option that costs around $30."
"The availability of the solution is its most valuable aspect. I can also Google anything I want and upload it on the cloud. I can do that using the mobile app. It is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to Drill down to webpage actions."
"ORUEI lets you create a dashboard that shows you insight into the user experience."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"Issue resolution needs to be faster, rather than having users wait for the next release for issues to be fixed."
"Broadcom DX Application Performance Management could improve its supportability to the current technologies and the end-to-end correlation feature should be done automatically without custom configurations. Additionally, there should not be any configuration changes to the client-side when deploying the solution."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Stability could actually be helped because it is a wrapper or an agent on our system. If we are having a bad day in production or if other resources are being utilized, then we will get get gaps in our monitoring system."
"The upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
"I think as we're all moving forward to automated deployments, it'd be nice to have that out-of-the-box with this product."
"User interface - CA is moving towards HTML5, but still a lot is Java, old fashioned, non-customizable and not user friendly. It’s look and feel is still too technical."
"The upcoming changes for the deployment process of the agent will help a lot, in that others have gotten to that point first."
"Currently, it monitors web applications well, but ORUEI doesn't monitor mobile applications yet. It would be nice if they also added the ability to monitor mobile apps."
"There are instances of imitation, like with processors. As customers, we aim to develop this area, particularly focusing on the networking facility and connectivity. The challenge lies in the connection between the DC and MDR, which is quite distant. The link between them needs to be reliable. When direct fiber isn't available, they resort to using dark fiber, which can lead to some limitations. This situation presents another layer of complexity, requiring approximately 11 feet of additional infrastructure. This is essential for ensuring that applications have minimal latency. In the event of any issues, an account is set up for cache memory to ensure that the system remains operational and can recover data from the cache as needed. Additionally, I have a secondary aspect to consider."
"It would be nice if the solution could be integrated with Outlook. If I'm signing any quotation, any proposal, or any of my communications, I should be able to update that Oracle application as well."
"The application resource usage has increased due to using RUEI."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"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."
