Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."For banking and telecom solutions, it's been quite useful."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Diagnostics is the information reported from an application that has timed out. For example, when you're Googling, or you're booking a ticket for Burj Khalifa here, the longest tower in the world, there are situations where the system can time out. There are times when you might not receive a response on the payment gateway or you are not able to find the reservation. The customer only receives the information that the session has timed out."
"The diagnostics and configuration are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"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."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"The interface is very old, and not very user-friendly. Most of our clients don't like the UI."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"The GUI and metrics of Micro Focus Diagnostics can be improved. The metrics the solution gathers can be limited and could be enhanced by giving more details."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
