"Monitoring daily log usage for Dotnet & Ruby web application using log queries in Retrace Platform"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Stackify APM?

It's easy to configure Linux Agents in our cloud architecture with the Retrace platform since our network traffic flows through proxy servers. Since Retrace is a lightweight & powerful APM tool, it's reliable for monitoring our production servers. Its code profiling feature helps minimize complexities in our key application framework methods and ensures optimized implementations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stackify APM?

Integrating our data connectors and application triggers is quite challenging to establish between our cloud platforms and the Retrace environment. Also, it's tedious to go through the entire log files for RCA since it generates a large number of entries. All other features are good to work on for our application monitoring and exception handling requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stackify APM solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can set up error exceptions, custom alerts and consolidate log files across our environments for addressing our client's concerns directly using Retrace. Since its data processing is done as an isolated & secured process, it's easy to implement highly optimized code with our benchmarked standards. We can also create log queries easily from its drop-down list and assign a search timeframe for each query. Based on the parameters defined, Retrace monitors our Dotnet & Ruby applications and provides immediate alerts for critical issues and outages which is beneficial for us.

"Stackify Is the Best Monitor for DotNet Projects"

5/5

What do you like best about Stackify APM?

IT makes it so easy to see how long processes are taking and, more importantly, what ran as part of that process and how long each of those parts took.

"Great DevOps product right out of the box!"

5/5

What do you like best about Stackify APM?

Log aggregation was my favorite feature for quite some time and is still one of my favorites, but I am a big fan of Prefix now. The ability to profile your web app during development is a great feature. Then with Retrace you can profile your production systems as well. Beyond this, the dashboards provide the window directly to your systems, stacks and help interrelate software and hardware systems, even across multiple data centers and cloud sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stackify APM?

There aren't many things I would say I dislike. As with any system like this, there is configuration time, but Stackify does aim to have fast configuration while you are involved with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Stackify APM:

Prefix is free and is a great way to get started using one of the products from Stackify without having to incur expenses while you realize some benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stackify APM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Until Stackify, there was no one tool to do monitoring, performance dashboards, log aggregation, APM and more. This same technology would come with half a dozen or more products and even more expense several years ago. Stackify provides all of this functionality out of the box, in one package and provides you the actionable insights necessary to target problems when they happen and point you directly to where they are happening and all systems/software affected. A product like Prefix does so many things to aid development and is free! It's hard to beat that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to handle for a moderate price.

Good documentation how to integrate stackify in your business-applications. Support of standard-logging-frameworks. Can be used like a normal logger. I

The "Error-View" is one of our most used features and helps a lot to find, analyze and keep track of bugs.

The performance of the web-app is not always the best. Especially if you're changing some filters on the log-view.
