Good monitoring and alerting capability, and it is easy to deploy
This solution is good for configuration management. The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training. ManageEngine is easy to deploy. It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network. The alerting capability is good and it will send out emails.

Drill-down monitoring shows us the entire transaction chain, from the front end to back end. It needs HTML5 interface.
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. If you try to compare SaaS and on-premise Foglight versions you can see differences in UI-design. It's my subjective experiences, but SaaS version looks more modern. Hope this helps

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The technical support is good."
"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"Capacity on database and file servers. I found the algorithms to forecast growth and concerns particularly intuitive."
 

Cons

"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"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."
"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 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."
