It consolidates all logs into one place and provides required features and functionalities

Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to do RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With LogDNA, which brings all the logs together in an interleaved stream, it allows us to take a transaction and relate it to other contextual events making the gathering of evidence for auditors and our internal RCA much more productive."

"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."

"We haven't had anything yet that we couldn't do through LogDNA."

"LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable."

"Real User Monitor does its job, and that is why we have stayed with it for so many years."

"The most useful feature of this solution is tracking, where the application's traffic is monitored, analyzed, and presented as a live session of that particular user so that, for example, everything you do in a bank application transaction can be tracked by the application."

"If you have an old-fashioned infrastructure with data center servers then this is a good solution for you."

"The most valuable feature is application performance monitoring."

"The Micro Focus technical support is quite good."

"It offers near-real-time analytics, which is helpful."

"It is a good product."

"The reporting feature is good for us."

Cons

"No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."

"Scalability could be improved; we are using it through the IBM cloud deployment and on some of the data centers that are very heavily used, there is a significant lag in the event stream, sometimes 10, 15 minutes behind, which makes the RCA impossible."

"Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue."

"Customer support needs to improve by bringing in more people who are knowledgeable about the tool, as there are very few left."

"The product needs more R&D to make it easier and more compatible with other software."

"If it is a standalone solution, however, I would not recommend Micro Focus."

"Real User Monitor needs to cover more protocols to provide more in-depth information. It could also be better at monitoring voice-related traffic. There is currently no visibility in that channel."

"I have to say that I am very disappointed with this solution. It's very heavy, and it is a nightmare to deploy and maintain."

"One area to improve is the user interface, of course. The second one is their R&D has virtually stopped building a product roadmap."

"One final complaint I have is that the roadmap from the vendor is not clear, which makes it less attractive to some customers."

"Real User Monitor needs to cover more protocols to provide more in-depth information. It could also be better at monitoring voice-related traffic."

Real User Monitoring (RUM) an End user monitoring that gives you visibility into user behavior for fast, targeted problem resolution. It monitors the performance and availability of business-critical application services for all users at all locations all the time. It automatically discovers underlying infrastructure and classifies user actions - giving you instant visibility into session and whole service health over web, cloud, and mobile user experience. It allows you to trace user experience across tiers, capture live sessions, see where customers clicked, measure response times, and see pages that caused problems. And you can easily capture and replay user sessions to create test scripts that reflect real user behavior. All this data gives you new ability to analyze which application transactions your users are performing and what application response they are experiencing. RUM currently supports over 20 application protocols and applications such as SAP, Citrix, and native mobile application monitoring on Android.
