    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.)

    The cost and performance of this product are the most important considerations that we had before purchasing it. Since we deployed Lustre everything in file and data management programs has been running effectively. Documentation of clients' contacts is done effectively and the data is securely stored for future reference. The user interface is flexible and any new user can easily work with it.

    This was my first storage software since I started my role as Marketing Manager. It has always served our department well enhancing the achievement of our marketing goals. Our customer's data is securely managed under a safe database. Access to information and categorization of workloads has been simplified under the Lustre system. It can be easily maintained and the cost can be afforded by both large and small scale businesses.
