Full Lifecycle Application Performance Monitoring

One development team piloted Retrace Logging and immediately saw benefits, both from reduced I/O overhead to slow destinations and fast full-text searches for researching issues. As more teams and applications adopted Retrace, we got the additional benefit of cross-application correlation. We leveraged NLog to customize and standardize how logs were filtered and formatted. I can recommend Retrace logging for any .NET development team who is looking for a simple, cloud-agnostic logging destination.

Stackify solved the problem by having one centralized location to view log and error info… Without Retrace, we would have added 10s if not 100s of log statements in an effort to get some of the information that Retrace gave us with the push of a button.

My CEO loves that the dev team doesn’t have to do much digging to start fixing issues. Retrace has become my go-to portal for service health. Retrace allows us to get the business prepared for incoming support calls before they occur.

Previously, if an error came up we would have to dig through log files on our servers. Retrace was able to provide us with a log and error monitoring system that could work seamlessly within our clients’ cloud servers and be remotely accessible by our team, something we haven’t found in any other tracking solution.

Besides helping diagnose issues that would have been impossible without Retrace, It has made discussions around existing production issues far easier. With actual stats to work with, Retrace has taken a large amount of guesswork out of the equation.

Prefix allows us a quick view of how all of our web apis are behaving and if there any unexpected errors or performance issues we need to address. Using it in conjunction with Retrace provides even deeper insights without slowing down our production code.

By far one of the best and easiest to use profiling tools I've ever used. Most of the other tools are either too hard to setup or don't give me what I want. Prefix shows me exactly what I need to see on one screen, exceptions, SQL queries from EF, and load times. It has become a tool I use daily for software development.

I've been using Stackify's Prefix offering to help identify bottlenecks in both new and legacy websites. The ability to see SQL queries along with the various web requests is an absolute god send. When you find that request that should be using a cache but is smashing the database, those problems get solved so easily with Stackify.

Usually, within 5-10 minutes, we know what's happening. It's made our DevOps team so fast.
Without Retrace, we would likely have a lot more development time to try and figure out what a client is talking about. There would be very little, if any, data for us to look at.

Retrace made identifying bottlenecks simple and we are able to quickly fix them.
Stackify Retrace's pricing allows us to run diagnostics on more servers concurrently rather than having to constantly swap licenses around as needed.

Retrace's APM lets us monitor this and focus our development efforts where it matters most. With redundant monitoring of Azure and Retrace and the really granular early alerts we've set up in Retrace, I feel much more confident about finding critical issues before they turn into fires.
