### "Foglight is suitable for server monitoring and software monitoring" — 3.0/5

> **Joshua** | *24 June 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Navigating through the environment overview makes it more suitable to have a quick summary of what is happening on the hosts and clusters.

The ability to host multiple VMs to be monitored on a single console makes it easy to navigate multiple environment monitoring servers and apps.

The Alarm module does its best job where you can have a report on the physical disk.
> 
> **Cons**: The Dash board is complex and doesn't have a simple GUI.
Navigating can be difficult if you are not trained to use the product.
> 
> I would say 60% good. However, the technical support team is awesome; they are always ready to help resolve issues ASAP.
