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

"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."
"Before RUEI came in, the users from production took hours to resolve issues, or couldn't end up finding a root cause."
"Customer satisfaction higher than before."
"ORUEI lets you create a dashboard that shows you insight into the user experience."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to Drill down to webpage actions."
"Even if you don't have a QA tool, you can automate a lot of the quality assurance functions through ORUEI."
"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."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware ​environments, including top consumers of resources."
"It was easy and saved costs."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"Our ROI has been great it has saved us many times to resolve issues before customers started complaining."
"Over all in my organization, this product helped us to maintain health, risk and efficiency of the virtual infrastructure."
"Foglight is the best overall solution we use, but it doesn't do everything we need or doesn't provide the best solution to everything we want to monitor."
"Foglight is an awesome tool and it is able to instrument and integrate easily with any monitoring tool."
 

Cons

"It is a bit complex for newbie."
"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."
"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 application resource usage has increased due to using RUEI."
"Licensing is very expensive for this solution."
"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."
"I recall that the lay-out was rather dull when I used this particular version of Foglight."
"The price is expensive for us."
"We had issues with deployment in the beginning until we had an expert guide us through the process."
"We had stability issues for FTR. The player used to get hung while running the robot scripts."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"The upgrade process could use some fine tuning. I have done an upgrade of the system as well as addedupdated agents, and sometimes that process is a bit cumbersome, and does not go as planned."
"The version compatibility needs work."
