What I dislike about LogRocket is that it can sometimes be heavy and noisy, especially in complex apps:

Session replays can be slow to load or laggy at times

High data volume makes it harder to find the exact session you need without very specific filters

It can capture a lot of noise, so meaningful signals (the real bug trigger) aren’t always obvious

There’s some setup/maintenance overhead to get masking, sampling, and performance tuned correctly

Cost can scale up quickly as session volume grows

It’s powerful, but it needs careful configuration to avoid performance impact and to keep the signal-to-noise ratio high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LogRocket addresses the problem of limited visibility into real user issues in production. Rather than relying only on logs, screenshots, or vague bug reports, it provides a full replay of what the user actually experienced.

For me, this is valuable because it makes hard-to-reproduce bugs much easier to understand. It shows the exact user actions that led to the issue, and it brings frontend errors, network failures, and UI state together in one place. It also reduces the back-and-forth with product or support teams to clarify reproduction steps, which speeds up root cause analysis and helps validate fixes more quickly.

Overall, it helps me move faster from bug report to root cause to fix, especially for flaky, environment-specific, or user-behavior-driven issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

New Relic can feel complex for newcomers. The platform is powerful, but understanding all its dashboards, APM details, and configuration options takes significant time.

Many reviewers note that onboarding requires a noticeable investment, especially for teams new to observability tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of visibility into the customer journey

Problem:

E‑commerce teams often struggle to understand exactly where users encounter friction—slow product pages, checkout failures, or payment gateway delays.

How New Relic solves it:

New Relic provides end‑to‑end visibility of critical journeys like checkout and fulfillment, showing which technical issues directly impact revenue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The built-in videos were a bit fast and I had to rewatch them a few times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From not knowing their product at all, to being able to get value out of the logs and build a dashboard in about 8 hours of work is mind blowing. Their product is lean and mean... No fluff. Just straight to getting value out of my logs. This product is incredible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the website will just not load, and I have to wait quite a few times. Also, Metric Explorer sometimes crashes if it has a tad bit more data to share. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Coralogix for monitoring logs, alerting, and tracing, enhancing developer work and on-call team efficiency. It also optimizes costs with the TCO optimizer and integrates seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In our current context,

As our infrastructure or application footprint grows, storage costs increase proportionally and can become a major expense. If we need to retain data for extended periods, expect those costs to rise even further (so storage necessity is the key).

Just like other platforms, Datadog also offers numerous integrations with third-party platforms like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Jira. We leveraged on all these channels initially that lead to increased costs, as each integration added complexity and resource usage along with increase complexity implementing them. We had to strip someof them to manage cost and purpose of applications at different environment levels.

There are so many options for same purpose but without proper guidance or complete understanding of that usecase, we may en dup implement more than what is required. So purpose is key here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Datadog is helping us providing the complete picture of problem with some initial details and by giving us a single platform to monitor 50+ microservices across 40+ AWS accounts, so nothing slips through the cracks. we have some first hand information based on automation or test suits logs, we know where to check, leading to less turn around time.

2. It tackles incident management/response challenges with real-time alerts, on-call integration, and automated triage, identifying similar patterns, notes around the service and resolution documents helping us fix issues before they impact customers at large extend. Its integration to different platforms we manage (almost all) is really a value add.

3. Built-in health checks and test suites keep our systems in shape, while integrations with AWS, PagerDuty, Slack, and more make the whole workflow smooth and connected. Datadog eliminates tool silos and creates a smooth workflow for monitoring and incident resolution.

4. From service-level segregation to rich dashboards, Datadog turns most of our log data into simple insights for engineers and execs alike. Different dashboards at low level and higher level made our life easy from monitoring to presenting the data to higher-ups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s nothing to dislike. It’s the number 1 observability tool to use, implement, and monitor applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In Dynatrace, we can set up alerts based on anomalies as well as static thresholds. It can notify you before your application goes down, or when any issue occurs, helping you keep things secure. We can also set service-level boundaries for SLA, SLO, and SLI. In addition, we can create multiple dashboards for the DevOps team to keep an eye on the application’s performance. Overall, it helps you secure your application and address problems before it goes down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI and dashboard experience could be more polished and intuitive. A bit more consistency in layout and interactions would improve usability. Additionally, AI-driven observability features (such as automated root-cause analysis or smarter anomaly detection) could be further strengthened to add more proactive insights.

CubeAPM helps us quickly identify performance bottlenecks, slow transactions, and runtime issues across our applications. Earlier, it was harder to pinpoint the exact service or method causing latency, which increased troubleshooting time. With CubeAPM’s APM and runtime metrics, we now get clear visibility into request flows and system behavior, allowing us to detect and resolve issues much faster.

This has reduced downtime, improved overall application stability, and helped the engineering team move from reactive firefighting to more proactive performance monitoring. Additionally, the move away from Datadog has helped us keep observability costs more predictable while maintaining the visibility we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can take a significant amount of time and effort to train new users on its advanced functionality and full set of features. In my opinion, it’s also noticeably pricier than other APM tools I’ve worked with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My experience with IBM Instana in our organization has been largely positive. Before deploying it, we struggled to identify performance issues quickly. Since implementing it, it has helped us resolve incidents faster and has also given us real-time monitoring capabilities, which makes it easier to spot and address problems as they arise.

What I dislike about Paessler PRTG is that it can become expensive as the number of sensors increases, especially for large-scale environments. The licensing model based on sensor count may limit scalability. Additionally, the initial configuration for complex infrastructures can feel overwhelming, and advanced customization options sometimes require deeper technical knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PRTG addresses the challenge of limited network visibility and slow issue detection. It helps me by delivering real-time alerts, cutting down on downtime, and strengthening overall system reliability.

Stepping back, monitoring isn’t only about spotting problems after they appear; it’s about catching them early and preventing real business impact. 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 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.

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.
