Application Manager Software

The UI was a bit of a learning curve, but once I navigated around a bit, it's very easy now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This makes supporting customers so much easier. In the past we'd have to ask them to try and screenshot what they were seeing, or ask them to try to do a screen recording, but that was a huge pain point when working with technology-challenged customers. If they were already frustrated, asking them to learn to do something new to help us solve the issue wasn't a great customer experience. Now, we can see what they see, and it makes troubleshooting a breeze! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The current two-factor authentication (2FA) in Better Stack only supports Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) methods, which are susceptible to phishing attacks. I believe that including support for WebAuthn methods, such as YubiKey or other physical keys, would enhance security significantly. This would be particularly important for security-focused individuals, although it is not critical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Better Stack to independently monitor my self-hosted services. It provides instant notifications when issues arise, helping me respond swiftly. The clear UI simplifies configuration without extensive documentation, and the status pages keep me informed about service statuses efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While New Relic offers powerful observability features, there are a few areas that could be improved. The pricing model can become expensive for organizations with high data volumes or multiple users, as costs scale quickly with ingestion and retention. Additionally, data retention beyond the default period often incurs extra charges, which can be limiting for teams that need long-term historical analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

New Relic helps solve the challenge of end-to-end visibility across complex application environments. In modern distributed systems, it’s easy for performance issues to go unnoticed until they impact users. New Relic addresses this by providing real-time monitoring, distributed tracing, and detailed error analytics, which allow us to quickly identify bottlenecks and resolve issues before they escalate.

There are only a few things that I was not satisfied with Datadog, those are.

Cost is somewhat high; we have to pay even we utilize the resources or not.

And the main con is the customer support; they only deal via email, and we have to dump the log data into their storage. They first analyse the logs and come back to us; it will typically take 24-36 hours, which has an impact on the clients. Also, they only come on a call on production issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wide range, like we need to sit in front of the servers or app all the time. If there is any error, it will send an email or notifications regarding the error. So no need to worry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it was keeping the duplicate logs and it was redundant and using double tokens for some service, we couldn't find why exactly it was happening, otherwise rest was good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is providing centralized logging system which make easy to debug any issue when there are a lot of microservices and it is having pagerduty support too, which enables to get alert whenever something is breaking. Otherwise we need to go to logs in k8s pods and setup other system to preserve the logs and keep them centralized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s a lot of information packed into the dashboards, and it takes a while to get comfortable with where everything is and what each view actually means Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Instead of manually digging through logs or bouncing between different tools, it ties everything together and points me toward the actual root cause. That alone saves a ton of time during incidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I cannot complain about AppSignal, possibly the problem is with us that we still need to add more integrations, for example with error reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance monitoring and log analysys Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have any major complaints, but one aspect that could use improvement is the internal documentation and the number of manual steps involved in workflows. If there were more structure and clearer guidance in these areas, I believe productivity could be enhanced even more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Last9 is solving the problem of unreliable, difficult-to-understand systems in modern distributed architectures. As applications grow more complex, it becomes harder to maintain uptime, identify the root cause of failures, and ensure that services meet reliability goals. Last9 addresses this by providing structured SLO (Service Level Objective) management, real-time observability, and automated insights into system performance.

For me, this has been extremely beneficial because it helps me:

Detect issues early before they become customer-impacting incidents.

Reduce time spent on debugging, since Last9 surfaces the exact services or dependencies causing reliability risks.

Track reliability in a measurable way through SLOs instead of relying on subjective judgments.

Focus my efforts on what truly matters, thanks to clear error budgets and actionable alerts.

Deliver more stable releases, ensuring better user experience and fewer production escalations.

Overall, Last9 helps turn reliability from a reactive activity into a proactive, data-driven process — which boosts my efficiency and confidence in managing high-scale systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have nothing negative to say about the operational performance of Pandora FMS's features, I believe it is software that offers a top quality digital security system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

By using the digital features and resources of Pandora FMS, I have managed to free my networks and virtual systems from all kinds of viruses and security risks, now I can protect my data and carry out my online activities without any problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We did not experience any issues with Atatus we could dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Atatus when investigating and troubleshooting issues with our LIVE instance of our web platform.

It provides nice drill down into problems on multiple levels in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a bit overwhelming at first, but not least due to the good documentation, you can quickly get up to speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Netdata, I have centralized monitoring without relying on my own infrastructure. It greatly facilitates monitoring because I no longer depend on my own server being online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found anything to dislike about Dash0 so far. Any minor issues I have are already planned to be addressed in the upcoming roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dash0 has enabled us to centralize observability across our services, removing the hassle of juggling multiple tools. With its unified dashboard for metrics, traces, and logs, identifying and resolving performance issues has become much more straightforward and efficient. Since adopting Dash0, our mean time to resolution (MTTR) has decreased, and both our engineering and product teams now benefit from enhanced visibility. The platform also removes the need to manually piece together data from Prometheus, Grafana, and other sources—everything is seamlessly integrated, responsive, and actionable in a single location. This has led to quicker debugging, deeper insights, and greater confidence in our deployments across all environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One aspect I find less appealing about SquaredUp is that setting up new data integrations or creating custom visualizations can occasionally take longer than anticipated, particularly when working with more uncommon data sources. Additionally, there is a noticeable learning curve at the beginning as you try to understand how to fully utilize all the available features. However, once everything is configured, the platform performs very well. It just requires some patience to get things set up exactly as you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SquaredUp has helped address the challenge of scattered and siloed data. Previously, I had to switch between several different tools just to get a comprehensive view of system health and performance. Now, with everything consolidated into a single platform featuring clear, real-time dashboards, my data visibility has greatly improved. I can identify issues more quickly, recognize trends with greater ease, and share insights with others without the hassle of exporting or explaining raw data. Managing systems has become much more proactive for me, rather than simply reacting to problems as they arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fundamentally, it is very expensive. We have a lot of instances in the cloud, and we cannot run it on all installations, as that would far exceed our budget. Compared to the range of functions, the price is certainly justified, but as a standard monitoring tool on all instances, it is unfortunately too expensive, at least in our environment.

Clear Server & Application Monitoring. Help for error diagnosis, the tools can see very deep into the code, and the AI advisors are often very targeted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing as such, only it requires sometime in the initial set up. Thats it. After that its smooth operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After the implemention of the Rakuten SixthSense Observability, the monitoring of logs, data & metrices have become quite smooth as everything is visible in a single glass of pane. The RCA has become very quick & MTTR has also decreased a lot. The teams are happy & productivity has risen up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, the dashboard and UI felt a bit overwhelming, with lots of data and a steeper learning curve compared to lighter tools. Pricing can also be high for smaller teams, and integrations with less common tools are limited. But once I got used to it, the dashboard became very insightful and made my work much easier. Overall, there’s not much to dislike

instant delivers great visibility and smooth monitoring across services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its AI features are a big help, making daily work much easier, and the integration part is also very simple.

I’ve used IBM Instana and it really helps a lot. It makes logs and server monitoring easy, and when something goes wrong it quickly points me to the core issue. In complex environments, it gives clear visibility so I can find the root cause fast. I also use it to check the health of services, ports, and clusters in a simple way, which saves me time. Overall, it makes monitoring smooth and helps me keep systems running without hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None. It just takes a bit of time to get used to, especially if your team is new to automation tools. But thanks to the helpful and responsive support team, we were onboarded pretty quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Manually handling SAP Basis tasks like transport management and system refreshes used to take up a lot of our time. IT-Conductor solves this by automating those processes, which has improved system stability and freed up our team to focus on more strategic work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the network calls erroring out while trying to stream data to be a problematic issue, even though it hasn't impacted functionality significantly. Additionally, I'm not satisfied with LaunchDarkly's observability feature—its lack of robustness and insight, coupled with the high cost, doesn't meet my expectations. The integration of Observability and Session Replay feels overly coupled, and I don't appreciate its interference with the console. Finally, the pricing model is complicated, especially the context counting method, which makes it difficult to forecast costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use LaunchDarkly for feature flagging, making our process more configurable with a helpful UI and easing complex flag evaluations, improving workflow by easily searching contexts for toggling flags for specific users or projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I run into “out of scope” issues when adding a debugging condition, and I don’t always understand why.

It can be frustrating in the moment, but the Lightrun support team responds so quickly that I can just reach out and get an answer right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used Lightrun to identify a NullPointerException.

At first, I only knew the general area where it was thrown, but not the exact cause.

By using Lightrun snapshots, I was able to narrow it down to the specific line where the exception occurred and inspect the object’s state.

This revealed that the issue was caused by broken data in the environment.

After fixing the data, the custemer was able to work normally again, without needing to wait for a future release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
