Great bug detection and fixing solution!

Kommentare: My overall experience with the Stackify Retrace is quite satisfying. I can easily afford the software for the great features it is offering. I can develop applications more efficiently and effectively. It is easy to use. I will recommend it to all the programmers or app developers out there.

Vorteile:

Stackify Retrace is an excellent application monitoring and bug fixing solution. I love the bug management system of the Retrace. It is also highly effective and efficient in fixing them. It can easily monitor in real-time how the app is working and the exact intervals at which the features of the app didn't work correctly or when the app crashed. It keeps all the logs of the app so that, it will be easier to detect and fix the failures. I found it very useful while developing .net applications. The dashboard is one of the main highlights. You can quickly get all the details like error logs, crash report, etc. in only one place.

Nachteile:

Customer response staff is very supportive and helps you to figure out your issues. But, on an incident, I got a very late response from them. I think it MUST be improved. Moreover, I find the log filtering a little tricky. Many a times, the log parameters which I don't want to see in the report were also there. It makes the analyzing process slow.

Decent idea, abysmal customer service and support

Kommentare: They are essentially no better than scammers and fraudsters, and I highly advise anyone considering this tool to look elsewhere.

Vorteile:

Before it was aquired by Netreo, the team there were very helpful in setup and support. The pricing was also much more competitive.

Nachteile:

The monitoring tool stopped collecting traces with no warning issued. I logged in to find Stackify non-functional. Customer support blamed me for not magically knowing that I needed to install the latest version, then refused a refund of the (now exhorbitant) monthly fees.

An amazing product for A to Z bug tracking and fixing

Kommentare: Our product management and testing has become more easy with the use of Retrace, kudos team !

Vorteile:

We really loved their centralized logging feature, Stackify helps us more to find bugs on the system and to take proper measures in time. The main interesting feature we noted is that we can run tests and Stackify will revert back with the accurate results, also a proper monitoring on the stack can be done using Retrace. The major advantage is that one can do all the needful activities like code profiling, monitoring and logging on the single system. We dont need to depend on any other third parties for the same.

Nachteile:

The code deployment system has lot of issues as it takes time to integrate onto to their system and the deployment takes lot of time. Rectify this issue and you will have a great tool and platform.

Finding failures is easy with Stackify

Kommentare: Stackify gives peace of mind when it becomes extremely hard to find bugs. Just go for logs and you get to exact point where the application stalled. It gives alot information about the application. It is one of many tools that .net developer must have.

Vorteile:

It gives in depth knowledge of what all is happening with our application. .net developer finds it very supportive in daily tasks. After one time setup it quiet easy to use. We debug with the help of log monitoring techniques given by Stackify.

Nachteile:

Filtering logs is not as easy with Stackify. We end up searching through many logs unwantedly sometimes. But it gives Stackify power to find everything which is also good sometimes.

Easy to get started, outstanding customer support

Kommentare: I am using Stackify to monitor a multi-tier application in AWS, and was amazed at how easy it was to immediately get all of the servers reporting data on the app with no extra configuration. Our development team has been equally pleased with how simple it has been to have the application's logs fed right to Stackify and accessible from a single dashboard for our product support team. On top of that, the communication from the company has been outstanding. Even though our app is small, they have given us all the attention in the world. The team at Stackify has even provided multiple conference calls demoing their solution to different players in our company throughout the development cycle. And not a single bit of communication we received from Stackify during our evaluation was sales-focused - they really wanted to make sure that we knew exactly what we would be getting. After initially evaluating a competitor whose products seemed overly confusing and whose costs would have exceeded our total AWS bill, Stackify was an easy choice.

Vorteile:

Very easy to use - doesn't get in the way of development with a steep learning curve. Awesome, accessible support team always at the ready, which was especially nice when we started using more of the advanced features of AWS. For example, when we were talking about writing scripts to help automate parts of our environment, they sent over some scripts to take care of automatically installing Stackify within the hour, saving me a lot of time and research. As a newbie to AWS and the cloud, this saved hours of work.

Nachteile:

Honestly, we haven't experienced a single drawback is using Stackify as an APM provider.

DevOps out of the box!

Kommentare: Until Stackify, there was no one tool to do monitoring, performance dashboards, log aggregation, and more. This same technology would come with 5 or more software/hardware products and 5 or more bills as well. Stackify does all of this 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.

Vorteile:

Log aggregation is by far my favorite feature. 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.

Nachteile:

Putting on my software engineer hat, I would like to have the ability to prescribe templates for how I want to view certain aggregations of logs for certain app stacks to better represent that stack right out of the box instead of having to select it each time.

Cheapest APM which can compete with market leaders

Kommentare: Overall all very much satisfied for choosing this tool

Vorteile:

Cost. Its very cheap and has 85% functionalities provided by the market leaders.

Nachteile:

Setting up initially can be little tough.

Easy solution to get centralized logs in a hurry.

Kommentare: Scouring the web for centralized logging solutions to use for a Java-based solution I am currently working at. I came across Stackify. Initially it was somewhat down my list of candidates - with much more flashy. But after trying a bunch we ended up with Stackify due to how easy it was to get useful logs into the system. And how well it works with Java out of the box.

Vorteile:

* Easy to set up for Java * Intelligently collects and groups Java exceptions allows

Nachteile:

- Does not really provide any tools advanced analyses of logs - Requires some additional code to proper shut down - The logging appender itself throws connection exceptions fairly often that ends up in the general overview of how the application is doing

Easy to set up, a hit with the whole team

Kommentare: Stackify allowed us to quickly set up a centralized logging system which was easily accessible to developers, qa and product for review and analysis.

Vorteile:

It was very quick/easy to set up.

Excellent tool to track your application logs

Kommentare: It is an excellent tool to track your application logs on all the environments. It enabled to capture crash logs, error logs and capture statistics and more.

Vorteile:

Stackify Dashboard which allows me to monitior my required app at a time on single clic.k, and the error logs with app name and environment name

Nachteile:

Filters in logs search, it is bit confusing. It could have improved and enriched to be more user friendly

Azure monitoring

Kommentare: We use Stackify about 3 years for monitoring our Azure infrastructure. For last year service increased stability and functionality. It help us in our critical service monitoring and supporting.

It is a simple config change to your app and you are good to go. Very user friendly & easily to use.

Vorteile:

Filters are great. You can filter accurately by date and current hours. The software gives the ability to filter by environment and by log level. Easy to read and sort.

Nachteile:

The black UI. It would be great if the UI is more catchy. Can have the ability to trace live logs.

Retace is a must-have tool.

Kommentare: We were having performance issues in PROD but as if often the case we were not able to reproduce those issues in development. Retrace gave us a lightweight real time line of sight to our system. We simply cannot live without Retrace right now. i recommend it for every project I work on.

Vorteile:

fast, easy great support

Nachteile:

dashboard. would love a new dashboard and ability to save/bookmark timeslices for review later.

Stackify is useful across multiple departments within the company. From Development to Support.

Vorteile:

Stackify allows me to keep an eye on my services and servers from an easy dashboard. This allows me to foresee all interruptions and make adjustments before end users feel it.

Nachteile:

We recently experienced an update to Stackify that affected our system performance, but it was quickly corrected and patched.

Great tool to do error followup

Kommentare: I use the free version so I can't complain about the pricing and didn't need support up till now. I especially like the fact you can flag errors as 'resolved', 'ignore' etc. What would be helpful here is an auto update of the list when I flag one. To keep the list up-to-date, I always need to refilter it every time taking quite a bit of time (search, filter by project)...

Vorteile:

Clean and easy to do some followup.

Nachteile:

Some missing auto-refresh of the current list.

An awful product so far. APM doesn't stay running. Waste of money.

Kommentare: It was great at taking money from our budget while delivering no value.

Nachteile:

The APM constantly stops and requires human intervention or a support call to get running again. We started it this morning and it died in less than 15 minutes. This week is the final straw for this product in our environment. If it can't run all week without human intervention I'm pulling it from the app and we're going to stop wasting money on it.

Great tool, but the web app to dig into the data is not friendly.

Vorteile:

The APM dashboards and server metrics have been excellent to use. I highly recommend it to anyone using a similar software stack.

Nachteile:

UI can be slow/clunky to use. Metrics don't always show up unless collected from all servers. Dashboard feature doesn't seem complete. Can't share or give access to others with giving admin privileges.

Not too bad

Kommentare: We moved from New Relic to Stackify. There are a few things we really miss, that do not seem to be on the road map, such as error alerting based on a percentage and not a total number. It becomes apparent that we need this feature as setting a numeric limit on errors can be difficult, especially when we are more concerned about having less than a certain percentage of errors per requests. The UI can be slow at times, but it does show a ton of information and helps to quickly find the errors. The log query tooling is exceptional.

All in One place!

Kommentare: With Stackify, monitoring and analyzing all our software environments have become easier. The interactive dashboard and error logs are the tools what engineers love to actively use to improve the software quality and availability. On the application integration side, Stackify comes with a smooth one two step process. Developed wires it with application easily with predefined steps. Adding context to the issues and catagorizing audit logs will save tons of time in real time scenarios.

Development Software That You Need

Vorteile:

Very easy to use and with minimal code we can achieve more. The two key things about this software are learn how to use is very easy and we can integrate it with our website very easily.

Nachteile:

Sometimes get database connections become difficult but other than that i don't see any other problems yet

Simple Implementation, Great UI

Kommentare: We switched from logging to SQL databases and Azure Storage to Stackify Retrace. It is cheaper, fast to configure, and easy for our teams to access.

Vorteile:

Easy implementation, great usabilty

Nachteile:

Would love more automated user provisioning

Monitor and Log app for internal power users

Kommentare: Stackify replaced our old monitoring tool and I have been so happy since. The logs built and monitoring have worked well. All levels have worked to find solutions for internal users.

Very easy to setup and implement

Vorteile:

It is very easy to use, and allows us to see detailed information about what is going on in our production environment.

Nachteile:

If I had to pick a con it would probably have to be the cost per server, it isn't unreasonable but would be more palatable at a lower cost.

Title for the review

Kommentare: In general it doing its job. althogh the log and and error search is complicated and not intuitive
