Foglight vs. Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics

It really depends on why my colleague is evaluating Foglight. If it is for Database monitoring and management, I highly recommend it. If it is for anything else, I would encourage them to look at others in this space.

I would like to recommend it for its detailed reporting feature, which is - I should say the great feature of Veritas Netbackup IT Analytics and they succeeded to deliver that if we compare it with ManageEngine Recovery Plus or Veeam etc. Apart from that, its Ransomware resilience has proved to the world how clients got benefitted from it and how easily they managed to recover the infected data.

• Foglight allows detecting and diagnosing performance problems simplifying hybrid environments, it is a solution that has perfect features which work in a flexible and intuitive way, it allows database performance in a safe and fast way. It works perfectly with nothing else to add.

Incentivized

• Not easy to implement and need more resources to manage.
• Technical support to be improved for this, which is lagging somewhere.
• It's really very expensive.

Foglight was chosen years ago as a replacement for Groundwork. After 2.5 years of implementing Groundwork things were still not complete and the decision to go with a more formalized solution was made. Foglight installed easily and quickly nearly across the board and the full implementation for complex infrastructure was completed (with no Professional Services) by us in under 4 months. Nagios is a wonderful toolkit but you have to be ready to build what you need. It's flexibility and breadth are excellent features but with that comes the need to define things very tightly lest you embark on the project that never ends (see above about Groundwork). Dynatrace is an excellent APM tool and has advanced analytics but as a general infrastructure monitoring tool it is actually very expensive and to be honest does not have the same focus and full feature set that it does on it's APM (which to be fair is it's wheelhouse). vROPs (we also have) is a wonderful tool but focused (and rightly so) on satisfying the VMware engineers in the crowd and doesn't put itself out there too far to make things palatable for the non-engineering crowd.

It was number one due to its reporting feature, whereas it's not easy to implement but keeping in view it's reporting & cross-cloud platform functionality also this is a great option for all. Using it on a daily basis will make your life easier but doubt we need a little more resources to manage it.
