Micro Focus Diagnostics (discontinued)

I would say on 90% of our agent installs everything works without any modification. If the application however makes a large use of memory based cache and analysis that classes will need to be excluded from instrumentation or it will impact performance.

Incentivized

• Agent level customization - For highly performant applications we can easily exclude instrumentation, yet still receive the benefit of historical tracking on common data points like CPU, Heap and GC cycles.
• Support - In the 5+ years working with the product any HP solution engagements have been quick to provide a needed configuration solution.
• Agent Diversity - Have used the product across 6+ differing middleware technologies comprising dozens of version (both middleware and java) combinations.
• Agent installation - With its ability to support a silent type install, automating was a simple task.

Incentivized

• The product does offer a lot of functionality - This can lead to a cluttered user interface and does take some time to become comfortable and proficient in its use.
• Data Volume - We have had some issues in balancing the desire to keep all data and consuming infrastructure storage.

Incentivized

While it has been several years since using BMC Patrol I like that HP doesn't require me to have a custom module added for every different type of product I would like to instrument.

Incentivized

• Performance Tuning - Product is fully integrated to provide baseline and drift across releases.
