Quest Spotlight Room for Improvement

The software does not support webhooks. It doesn't support advanced versions of APIs. The tool also doesn't support advanced versions of specifications. The change that we do in one part of the model is not reflected throughout the specification. There are also some mutations in the clones. I am not able to do a local source control with the product as well.

Some customizations of the dashboard, such as having backup reports, would be useful.

In terms of additional features, I don't have anything specific in mind. I'm not using it in clustered environments, so I don't know how well it copes with those environments. I can't really judge.

Jenkon is a Microsoft Partner, and we use Hyper-V as our virtualization base. This version of Spotlight provides additional information about “Virtualization Overhead”, but only for VMware (not Hyper-V).

Also, a wonderful “extra” of the Spotlight environment, was the ability to monitor, troubleshoot, and receive alarms directly to our mobile devices – via the Mobile Spotlight App. Unfortunately, the App broke when we upgraded from version 9 to version 10.

We have just participated in the live demonstration/training of the newest version of Spotlight (version 11.5). The good news is that both of these enhancements have been addressed in the latest version.

The pricing is too expensive. They should work on a better pricing strategy.

The solution should improve its capacity to photograph situations and conserve it for the amount time I need, whether it's a day or a week, and to be able to look it up at a later date. The storage needs to be improved.

There's no reporting with this tool, and there really should be. They should add that into future releases.
