Provides you with powerful analysis of your network and business infrastructure
There are instances of imitation, like with processors. As customers, we aim to develop this area, particularly focusing on the networking facility and connectivity. The challenge lies in the connection between the DC and MDR, which is quite distant. The link between them needs to be reliable. When direct fiber isn't available, they resort to using dark fiber, which can lead to some limitations. This situation presents another layer of complexity, requiring approximately 11 feet of additional infrastructure. This is essential for ensuring that applications have minimal latency. In the event of any issues, an account is set up for cache memory to ensure that the system remains operational and can recover data from the cache as needed. Additionally, I have a secondary aspect to consider.

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

"Before RUEI came in, the users from production took hours to resolve issues, or couldn't end up finding a root cause."
"Even if you don't have a QA tool, you can automate a lot of the quality assurance functions through ORUEI."
"The customers requires redundancy work to achieve a 99.999% uptime. To accomplish this, we installed this solution into storage. This setup ensures that if one node goes down, the system remains operational through another node. So that's the core aspect of the setup. Additionally, the schedule and the rental database run on servers, and behind these servers, we have storage. This storage operates as a single storage cluster, although there might be another storage option that costs around $30."
"ORUEI lets you create a dashboard that shows you insight into the user experience."
"Customer satisfaction higher than before."
"The availability of the solution is its most valuable aspect. I can also Google anything I want and upload it on the cloud. I can do that using the mobile app. It is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to Drill down to webpage actions."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"The product has improved the way we respond to database issues as it has made us more proactive."
"Foglight Enterprise was the most scalable and easy to deploy tool."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"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."
"Our ROI has been great it has saved us many times to resolve issues before customers started complaining."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
 

Cons

"It is a bit complex for newbie."
"The application resource usage has increased due to using RUEI."
"It would be nice if the solution could be integrated with Outlook. If I'm signing any quotation, any proposal, or any of my communications, I should be able to update that Oracle application as well."
"Currently, it monitors web applications well, but ORUEI doesn't monitor mobile applications yet. It would be nice if they also added the ability to monitor mobile apps."
"There are instances of imitation, like with processors. As customers, we aim to develop this area, particularly focusing on the networking facility and connectivity.

"Licensing is very expensive for this solution."
"Complicated setup and maintenance."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"We had issues with deployment in the beginning until we had an expert guide us through the process."
"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."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"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."
"The price is expensive for us."
"We have not realized a good ROI on the product due to the fact that we were not able to monitor our core application which runs on Webmethods."
