| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Consultant at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees | 3.5 | I appreciate the valuable drill-down monitoring, stable performance, and helpful support. Setup is easy, but I wish the on-premise interface were updated with modern HTML5 features, as it currently feels outdated compared to competitors. |
| Pre-Sales DBA SQL Server Engineer at a tech company with 51-200 employees | 4.5 | No summary available |
| Foglight Specialist with 1,001-5,000 employees | 3.5 | I find Foglight's infrastructure and end-user monitoring valuable, but its inability to instrument Webmethods and AS400 DB2 severely impacts ROI. Customer service is slow, and initial setup is complex. |
| Database Administrator at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | Foglight saves us time and reduces incident risk with central monitoring, replacing manual checks. Though custom agent integration was previously an issue, it's now stable and scalable. Initial setup was straightforward, freeing up our resources. |
| Expert Cloud Architect at a tech company with 5,001-10,000 employees | 4.5 | I found Dell Foglight excellent for managing virtual infrastructure, providing full visibility, optimizing performance, and reducing operational costs. It's stable and scalable, though I feel installation needs improvement, especially with external databases. |
| Senior Technical Consultant at a tech consulting company with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.0 | Foglight easily resolved my slow database performance issues by identifying root causes and advising on configuration changes, saving costs. I experienced no stability or scalability issues, but desire mobile access. |
| IT Analyst at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I find FxV valuable for session playback, which aids customer complaint resolution. However, FxM and FxV stability needs improvement, as they sometimes hang, requiring manual reboots. |
| Systems Engineer & Owner at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees | 4.0 | I value its excellent VMware environment overview and alerting, easily seeing resource consumption. However, the complex licensing and 'cartridge' concept for implementation are a significant bother. |
