Intel VTune Amplifier Reviews & Product Details

VTune is the most advanced profiler on the market. VTune helped us to optimize our code and found bottlenecks easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface might look complicated and requires some special knowledge and practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vtune has a graphical user interface and command line option. It enables users to analyze the application remotely as well. Time spent in each thread and memory usage can be easily monitored using Vtune. So it helps the developer to find micro-level design issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up the tool is a little complicated and the user interface is confusing. We might need to spend some time to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Tool provides remote and local performance profiling with simple and interactive graphical interface with many options for remote data collection on Linux via SSH.

- Advanced lightweight hotspots analysis tool which provides several collection levels of information.

- Tool has ability to show kernel stack as continuation of user stack which makes debugging simpler.

- Supporting by many processors, provides many search options for binary, symbol options and also supported by Fedora latest version.

- Always up to date with latest technology and OS in the market.

- Tool supports many languages to analyze its performance with different syntax in code with many of them like C++, Java, .net, Python.

- Tool also used in many software and hardware environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Nothing as such which has not covered in this tool. Most of the normal developer debugging options are provided and which makes developer life very easy.

- Sometimes application generates errors about thread/execv access despite the fact that executable being run does indeed have read and execute privileges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say it is always up to date with the latest technology and OS in the market and always sends updates and emails about the technology improvements it has made. In terms of other technology, it supports many languages to analyze performance with different syntax in code and can also be used in many software and hardware environments.

Hmm you know there aren't many things I don't like about it - I would say it took me a while to figure out how to use it but that is more personal and less feedback for the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are very few profilers available which provide deep insight into a C/C++ written software over Linux. CPU hotspots can be identified easily. Best feature that I like is that it obtains how the process is using different cores of CPU e.g. is it optimally utilizing all the cores of CPU or latching onto one core all the time. Apart from that how much time thread context switching is taking, how much time went into IO and by which thread. This enables fine tuning the application parameters. Moreover it provides ample amount of trial time. The trial time given to the users is also sufficient. Visual graphs and charts for different performance metrics are easy to interpret, though having all the required details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was not able to do live profiling of a process running on a remote Linux VM. I had to take the dump and read via app in local system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is self-understandable, and the documentation is clear enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I could dislike, but I would consider if the application performs faster, that would be more beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of first use! and short time taken to arrive at the final result and hassle free correction of bottlenecks encountered. Most importantly able to clearly communicate issues to peers not having to waste much time in explaining the issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The navigation could improve a bit but not very important and made much more user friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, doesn't require special background. I was able quickly find memory leak and some CPU overload in specific modules I've choose to tune. It also doesn't add too much load on the process. Was easy to use it while simulation - under load tests in order to get leaks reproduced. Once reproduced, it let you keep session and get back on its analyze later Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would be great have some way to automatically mark static memory allocations in order to avoid false alarms. Would be good have clear wizard for each kind of use: group correct metrics per each of needed experiences, so user will not have learn each metric and if he really needs it.

Compare to all other available profiles in the market Vtune is the best and flexible and easy to use with the Visual studio. It helps me to find critical sections of the software code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up the tool need some attention! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Memory profiling and individual function report is finest feature which I have used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far nothing which I wanted to use but vTune does not provide Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
