Foglight for Databases Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Senior IT Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 1,001-5,000 employees4.5I primarily use Quest Foglight for monitoring databases like Oracle, SQL Server, and SAP HANA. Its powerful workload analysis tool helps with performance bottlenecks. Although integration of PI across all platforms would be beneficial, it's still valuable.
Global Head of Engineering for Cloud Operations at SAI Global Compliance3.5We use Quest Foglight for monitoring databases like Postgres, SQL Server, and MySQL in our SaaS applications. Its profiler identifies problematic queries, though Postgres monitoring needs improvement. Unlike Idera, it offers valuable cross-platform support, enhancing visibility significantly.
IT engineer at a government with 1,001-5,000 employees5.0We use Quest Foglight for Databases to monitor various systems, finding its SQL Performance Investigator particularly valuable for detailed diagnostics. It improves our efficiency, although a Spanish version and better update communication would enhance usability for non-English speakers.

Technical Manager at METS4.5We use Quest Foglight for SQL Server and auction, valuing its Workload Analysis feature for monitoring various databases from a single console.
