Polaris is a monitoring platform, from Arisant. The vendor states ordinary monitoring products offer a variety of out-of-the-box metrics and alerts, but most of the time, IT staff has already developed custom scripts that are tailored for monitoring custom applications and databases. So in addition to offering out-of-the-box metrics and alert functionality, Polaris also provides an easy-to-use platform where users can set up custom metrics and alert definitions.N/A

Quest Software
Strengths [Foglight]
  • Monitoring, Alerting and Management of on-prem virtualization and physical servers
  • Historical trending and baselining are excellent and being able to compare a problem period against the same sets of data for a period when there was no issue is especially helpful as part of troubleshooting.
  • Ease of use for end users is appreciated
Weaknesses [of Foglight]
  • Creation and management of custom monitors is a developer level activity requiring Groovy skillset
  • Less useful for management of an environment where there is a large amount of custom implementations
  • Commitment to longevity of cartridges/packs for specific subsystems
  • Ability to create custom schedules/alerts/escalations is only available via a 3rd party product (from a former Quest developer) and is not particularly easy to manage/manipulate
  • Lack of API accessibility for external integrations to other analytics (splunk, etc.)
