"Great for monitoring our servers"

4/5

What do you like best about Stackify APM?

The logging ability and filters that you can apply to the search. When we catch errors, we display the Stackify ID in our exception details and use it as a filter in Stackify to view the full stack trace. Clients don't care what it says, so it's nice to hide all the verbiage and they just tell us the Error ID.

Also like the alerting capabilities. Helpful when you want to address concerns before they are reported by clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stackify APM?

Not much to dislike at the moment. It took someone to show me how to review the logs. It wasn't something that was easily understood using the UI and my limited knowledge with Stackify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5

What do you like best about Stackify APM?

The ease of setting up monitoring and log tracking on our integration and production environments makes this a great tool for monitoring out REST APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stackify APM?

Getting configurations to enable more detailed stack trace collection while not slowing down a production environment is a bit of a fine art, but once you have it there is a lot of insight to be gained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
