Great Monitoring Product for your Custom Apps

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Stackify Retrace from other similar products?

I have not researched similar products too much as we have been very happy with Stackify. It allows us quick insights when things go wrong.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

We use the log monitoring the most. Getting into the logs and getting to the errors very quickly is important. Once other aspect we use a lot as the development teams the server monitoring. This allows the development team to get insights into potential hardware issues that typically only our systems team gets.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The storage costs are creeping up so we have to balance between having enough data on the server and keeping costs at a reasonable level.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you take the time to implement it correctly, it will provide business value and quick response to any issues that arise in an application. It is not a difficult implementation but you want to be sure you are taking the time to add the code so that errors, and the like are sent to stackify. It will allow non-tech folks to identify issues quickly without the need to involve engineering for the discovery.

Pros

Reliable
Performance Enhancing
Includes Product Enhancements
Friendly Negotiation
