Find out what your peers are saying about Dynatrace, New Relic, AppDynamics and others in Mobile APM."It is very stable. The improvements that they keep making just make the tool more useful."
"The main benefit is being able to pinpoint problems."
"Our company gets quick response times and qualified responses from technical support, so that is good."
"The NeoLoad plugin is awesome, and it gets results from load tests correlated with test scenarios."
"It is a 100 percent stable solution...Dynatrace is a highly scalable product since it is a SaaS-based application."
"Automatic instrumentation of new services and technology without the need to install specific agents or modules."
"You get a good insight into what is going on inside your code."
"We have improved performance by 50% and determined conflicts in the application to eliminate errors."
"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."
"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."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"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."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"Infrastructure monitoring could be improved."
"There are a lot of features that could be added that would make this a very useful solution, but it is getting there."
"The dashboarding process and creating measures and metrics, it needs to be made a little bit easier and more simplified. "
"If there was something that could be done at a local developer's station, something like, "Hey, here's a hint, this thing looks like it might not be optimized," or the like. I think more development features, to hedge that performance would be good."
"Cloud monitoring and reporting need improvement, as well as how to manipulate data and export it to share with business executives."
"One thing I'm missing and that is the JMX from the MBeans, it's missing completely."
"I have not had very positive experiences with tech support in the last year. I found them to be arrogant, rude, not solving my problems, and not interested in solving my problems."
"This solution needs more powerful database monitoring capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"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."
"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."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
