Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"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."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"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."
"Having standard monitoring features and a central repository saves us a lot of time and reduces risk of incidents."
"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."
"On the cloud, we are pushing through less than half a petabyte of data. So far, it has been fairly stable because it runs on all the underlying AWS infrastructures."
"The speed of the search engine"
"Splunk allows us to find insights that we were not able to with traditional BI tools using ETL. It allows us to dig into raw events."
"We have a more secure, robust environment, which keeps the harmful software out of the zone required."
"Splunk provides immediate visibility into key business metrics and new business insights that deliver immediate value."
"Splunk's advantage is its search capability. Its search is notably faster. With Splunk, I can search easily on keywords. That is great."
"The technical support is among the best in the market."
"It has reduced the time to resolution, time to investigate, and time to troubleshoot for debugging issues."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV."
"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 think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"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."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"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."
"It is a hugely complicated product."
"The solution could improve by making it more business analysis oriented. The way it is now is designed more for developers."
"Make it easier to include roles and user controls, as it is horrible now."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive."
"It needs more thoroughly tested releases. Every new big version (6, 7, etc.) has had so many bugs that it makes me wary of customers upgrading right away."
"We find that the maintenance process could be a lot better."
"If it could be made available as a service, this would be much better than as a product."
"I feel as though a major focus of upcoming releases should be set on Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics, and I would enjoy to see more security focused add-ons and apps developed by the vendor."
