Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."It has a random transaction trace which gives our customers the ability to look at how their transaction performs."
"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."
"Deep Dive and Transaction Analysis Triage capability."
"It covers from mainframe, all the way to dotcom, for example. CA currently covers Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Office 365 monitoring."
"Measurement of response time"
"Gives us the ability to know how our application is performing in real-time."
"It's a very stable product."
"The insight it gives into the applications that it's actually applied to, and the flexibility to do many things with those metrics, and also feed your own metrics from external sources."
"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."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"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."
"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."
"The interface is getting a little old."
"The reason it's not a ten is because they don't focus enough on improving over time like other competitors do who have a more modern and complete tool."
"The APM upgrade procedure is a bit complicated with compatibility issues which can emerge like between agents and EM/Collectors."
"Our users lag how to identify the root cause with this solution. If they could come up with a more user-friendly version, that would be a good thing, since other vendors currently have better features and more user-friendly products than CA APM."
"With respect to SQL monitoring, it would be nice to have a little more information because it doesn't provide the full statement all of the time."
"Technical support is slow to respond and also asks redundant questions."
"Issue resolution needs to be faster, rather than having users wait for the next release for issues to be fixed."
"The following need improvement: 1) Integration of third-party content into app maps (e.g. data coming from beats/elastic platform). 2) Support of new application server technologies, time to adopt new versions of them. 3) Dashboarding capabilities (as with all other vendors). 4) Application architecture of the central Enterprise Manager should be developed into a cloud native architecture. 5) Mitigation of SPOF – PostgreSQL database, behind Team Center."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"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 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."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"The version compatibility needs work."
