We performed a comparison between CA Database Management for DB2 for zOS, Oracle Enterprise Manager, and Quest Foglight for APM [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."The most important features are batch reporting and the ability to create repositories, enabling automated analysis. These are valuable because they enable me to do automated analysis of trends over time and reduce the time for comparing performance between two periods to identify anomalies."
"It helps us to reduce hardware costs and to optimize processing times."
"It is very stable. We have had no issues."
"Improved monitoring and performance management."
"It takes advantage of new features of DB2."
"I think the look and feel and the accessibility to the databases, the scale of environment support."
"We use it extensively for performance tuning testing, monitoring, and configuration."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"It's user friendly."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM."
"It's easy to implement as it's made by Oracle for Oracle."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing 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."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"They need to provide a way to create and maintain performance repositories. The online tool is not perfect, but it is giving me what I need."
"Minor stability issues."
"All the information we need, we could use to have it in a more usable format."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
"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."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"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."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"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."
