Review on Elastic APM by Adam Matthews

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Web Performance Analyzer for tracking live website page speed

You can see your errors, exceptions, logs all in one dashboard with easy configuration to track apps performance & load time.It helps me find out any problematic point or issue quickly.Its very cool app that provides great data but it lags sometimes when there's so many users accessing it simultaneously. I don't know what causes this problem as they say "performance". The lag time occurs once and then goes away automatically after sometime. It gives us more user friendly interface. We manage our development team smoothly by identifying problems in their work easily.The software helps solve our issues in faster ways comparing to manual effort. As i stated before the problem occurs only occasionally which makes me think of server overloading. But we are using cloud service which works well with large traffic without causing overload to my servers. I love that it's easy to set up, use and understand. It has helped us identify issues with our applications in near real-time so we can address them before they affect users. The UI needs work - there are some things which have been difficult or impossible to figure out without documentation. We're able to see where problems are occurring within our apps. This helps us prioritize what fixes need to be made first.
