Easy and intuitive tool for monitoring J2EE Applications

The ease of use in deployment with minimal configuration required to get it up running was very helpful! There are some other features that I would like to see added but they have not been developed yet so cannot comment further at this time (ease of integration into existing pipeline/tools). Great product from start too finish, all team members were supportive throughout our project lifecycle. We needed an easy way to track performance across multiple applications without having any code…

Pros
  • It's great because you don't really even NEED sql profiler installed locally anymore since there will already exist something built in by default suchas SQL Server Pro
Cons
  • Some little things

Great tool for monitoring microservices

The easy setup through docker containers and also the simple configuration in my application it's one of the best tools I've discovered so far. We use Jaeger to trace our Java Spring applications that are deployed to Docker containers. The visualizations are very helpful when we want to fix issues immediately and efficiently. There are some minor bugs but nothing too serious. I would not discourage anyone from trying Jaeger out - it is really powerful and easy to set up. With Jaeger we were…

Pros
  • Easy Setup
  • Great visualization capabilities.
  • Good documentation about howto implementJaegar into your own projects
Cons
  • It has no UI for monitoring/querying data

Monitoring the health of microservices in a high traffic environment

The ability to see how much time it takes from when an event in code occurs until that information gets logged at each level of granularity - down into seconds or milliseconds if needed! This makes debugging issues so easy because you know exactly where problems are occurring within your application with pinpoint accuracy!! I don't have any dislikes about this product yet but would like more detailed documentation/knowledge base available online regarding best practices around using JGroups…

Pros
  • Very simple, straightforward interface
  • Easy integration between different monitoring systems.
  • Good error reporting mechanism for troubleshooting purposes,
  • Can integrate directly via Java API; no extra dependencies required as well
Cons
  • Somewhat outdated user experience compared against competitors
