Quest Spotlight offers valuable features like alerting, ease of setup, and configuration. Its strength lies in time-travel analysis for identifying past issues and predicting future anomalies. Users appreciate customizable alert levels and critical alerts directing to the right team. Time monitoring with graphical insights aids problem analysis. Dashboards and their drill-down capabilities are invaluable. Being SaaS, it supports integration with source controls like GitHub and GitLab, including SSH authentication.
- "The tool is a SaaS product where I just need to type a URL and start with the design process. I can integrate all elements of source control like GitHub, GitLab, etc. The tool also supports authentication-related provisions like SSH."
- "Its dashboards are most valuable. The drill-down of the dashboards is useful."
- "I consider the solution very scalable."
Quest Spotlight requires better Hyper-V support, improved pricing strategy, enhanced data storage, and advanced reporting capabilities. Customizations like backup reports are desired. The software needs to support webhooks, newer API versions, and specifications. Bugs affect cross-model changes and clone integrity. Issues with local source control exist. The mobile app had problems upgrading from version 9 to 10, although the latest version addressed some. Users expect features to document situations for specific durations.
- "The software does not support webhooks. It doesn't support advanced versions of APIs. The tool also doesn't support advanced versions of specifications. The change that we do in one part of the model is not reflected throughout the specification. There are also some mutations in the clones. I am not able to do a local source control with the product as well."
- "Some customizations of the dashboard, such as having backup reports, would be useful."
- "There's no reporting with this tool, and there really should be. They should add that into future releases."
