We’ve been using Foglight Suite of products for the last 3 years.
It’s a great Product suite which gives in-depth details of your Application. The Java and .NET cartridges are exceptional and is in its own class.
The product support team is also great to work with.
Cons
FTR aka Transaction recorder is not a stable Product
The FMS is a product which needs to managed with great care as any other Application.
