It had a fairly easy-to-use dashboarding feature for end-users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It mostly took output from scripts, logs, etc and graphed them. We spent several months and 3rd-party consultants to integrate it with our monitoring system, but never would work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Foglight for Windows based servers (typically Oracle EPM services are on these with an OBIEE or SmartView front end for reporting) and traditional Linux/Unix platforms and both versions have exceeded my expectations in terms of its instant alerting capability with a visual interface unlike any other server monitoring application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest, very little to dislike as it also tells you which processes (including its details, ports being used etc) are causing a resource contention in the server. However, while it serves to report this information consistently well, the capability to remediate the problem through the tool itself is a bit limited. However, this is not a major negative as most monitoring tools (free or paid software) need the remediation outside of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a beast of a product and sometimes finding what you're looking for was though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's great at monitoring performance and has a great alert system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is an expensive product, couple that with that fact that it is time consuming and moderately difficult to get running and you have software that just isn't good for smaller companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the best thing about this product i like most is "Real-time email and alerts" because it provides some really good help to fix problems and issues on time. Even most tools provide reports to some extent but this tools have some nice interface for history reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost is expensive. But with the features we get things sort out. I will recommend please train your technical team on it before using it so that investment on this can bring maximum return. Little improvement in customization modules is needed. Currently available system works perfectly but improvement will add more power to it. If you have no issue with cost you gonna like it.

This is a great end-user monitoring tool that helps capture both performance and content for every transaction by each and every user. It provides a great facility to replay what the user has gone through during their web session, which greatly helps in detecting problem areas and troubleshooting defects. Also, it collects full data from the network and browser, which is useful in tracking user activity, keyboard/mouse, and navigation events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is tough to learn for naive users, and organizations need to provide sessions before starting with it. It is good for large organizations where there are large web applications in production, and monitoring and analyzing them is a daily hectic task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As we host a number of customer servers and databases, Foglight is a great monitoring tool to alert us for performance degradation and capacity planning, this allows us immediate alerting to our support team as well as our customers. Foglight has become our support teams first point of call for any reported performance issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took a while to to get everything configured and setup, the networking confirmation isn't as straight forward as we had hoped, and the user interface is a bit unfriendly to use and could do with a redesign. There are too many different variations of the Foglight product which makes it difficult to configure and expensive to cover all systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
