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

Proactive monitoring has transformed compliance checks and reduces help desk tickets daily
During implementation, we identified some features that I'm not actually using today, such as advanced predictive analytics and Digital Employee Experience scoring, along with real-time self-healing at scale. The biggest friction point I hit with Workspace ONE Intelligence is the high complexity of setup, along with data overload, which presents too much information. There's also a skill gap in teams, an over-automation risk, integration challenges, licensing and cost concerns, cultural resistance, and limited real-time action adoption due to the hybrid environment's complexity. If I could change just one thing about Workspace ONE Intelligence, even something small, it would be to make automation adoption simpler and safer, which would ease my workflow.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"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."
"Foglight has been our go to monitoring tool for several years in the DB2 and Oracle space."
"We are able to capture the real time user experience of our solutions and we have an understanding of overall performance."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"I would rate Workspace ONE Intelligence nine out of ten."
"Integration is also very easy."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its tunneling capability. It is good for inventory, encryption, device location, and kiosk mode. If a device is lost, you can find it. We integrated it with a third-party tool for one-time passwords and two-factor authentication. The user-friendly interface makes device management easy."
"Workspace ONE Intelligence has significantly impacted my organization overall by shifting the operation from reactive to proactive IT, reducing the help desk load, providing a stronger security posture, improving visibility across the enterprise, automating routine IT work, especially in banking-specific contexts, enhancing employee productivity, and optimizing costs, leading to a cultural shift in IT teams."
 

Cons

"The version compatibility needs work."
"Complicated setup and maintenance."
"When we first turned on Foglight for the first time, it was like a fire hose."
"We have not realized a good ROI on the product due to the fact that we were not able to monitor our core application which runs on Webmethods."
"I recall that the lay-out was rather dull when I used this particular version of Foglight."
"We had issues with deployment in the beginning until we had an expert guide us through the process."
"Migrating to newer versions is always a challenge with Foglight."
"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."
"The biggest friction point I hit with Workspace ONE Intelligence is the high complexity of setup, along with data overload, which presents too much information."
"One area for improvement is location mapping - it uses Bing Maps instead of Google Maps, which isn't always up to date. Device enrollment can also be challenging, especially for older devices that need a factory reset."
"Support could be improved for Workspace, especially the technical part, and it needs to ensure that issues can be resolved within one or two days."
"Windows devices management needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Foglight can be expensive I would go with the pricing at a three year deal."
"Since the product split – the licensing is a bit more complex."
"The price is expensive for us."
"I recall it being a very expensive solution relative to function and stability."
"The solution is cost-effective. Workspace ONE Intelligence is neither cheap nor expensive. Compared to other tools like MaaS360, it Is more cost-effective. It costs about seven dollars per user, while others might cost $50—a big difference."
