"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"

"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"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."
"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."
"Product documentation is lacking, and sometimes, incorrect. Having better documentation will allow business analysts and data center personnel to rely on the Micro Focus help desk less."
"The solution should offer better integration with other tools from a service management perspective."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."

"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"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."
"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."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
