It is designed for developers at organizations of all sizes and provides bug tracking, data aggregation and automatic alerts. The solution provides an activity dashboard where developers can track the performance of code deployments in real time. The dashboard also monitors specific web pages like login pages and shopping carts to track average load times. Developers can share these dashboards with coworkers. Retrace aggregates application and server logs and supports search capabilities for troubleshooting. The solution identifies new errors in the code and how often they are occurring. Alerts are sent to developers when error rates are high. The application is compatible with ASP.net and JAVA web applications. Retrace helps users monitor the performance of applications by combining server metrics tools including server monitoring, application framework metrics and log monitoring.

Its very cheap and has 85% functionalities provided by the market leaders. > > **Cons**: Setting up initially can be little tough. > > Overall all very much satisfied for choosing this tool ----- ### "Stackify has saved us so much time and resources" — 5.0/5 > **Joel** | *27 March 2017* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to drill down into an issue is phenomenal, you can spend your time wisely with this feature. Focus on your biggest problems first right? So, start on the dashboard and just start diving in on the top issues from there. You get to see what went wrong, and all of the calls and requests to the server by simply drilling down, it makes sure that my small dev team is spending their time on the issues that will have the biggest day to day impact for our users. > > **Cons**: Slight learning curve, but with any robust software that is always the case. Thankfully, the support staff is willing to go through extensive deep-dives into explaining how the software works. > > Not only was the set-up great by the Stackify support staff, but the data that we were able to extrapolate from the information provided helped reduce pages error and slow loading on over 30% of our internal .net ERP. We are extremely thrilled to have this software working, and with the great historics that it provides, if the server ever has a fault, I don't have to worry about tracking down what caused the crash before getting the server back up again. With Stackify I can just go through the logs of the user sessions at anytime, so I can look through what happened later, instead of making sure that I nailed down the issue before rebooting the server and losing info about what 'currently was causing the hangup'. Thanks for the great software guys. ----- ### "Some really good, some really bad." — 2.0/5 > **Kevin** | *27 March 2017* > > Initial impressions were great, we installed it on our staging and then production web servers. It provided an interesting look into the actual site performance without all the server noise. After some time both environments had sites that exhibited issues with the stackify agent. High page load times, timeouts, and general app instability was seen on some, but not all web apps on the server. These issues seemingly appeared out of no-where so perhaps it was an auto-update but we couldn't spend the time troubleshooting. The only quick solution was remove the stackify software from those servers. The uninstall did not clean up after itself and left header information from stackify on all sites and all files seemed to remain in the installation directory. Tech support supplied incorrect remediation information for the header information issue and it caused the server downtime while the VM snapshot was reverted. Googling turned up the correct way of removing their changes. Overall I'd say the beneficial insights gained into the app performance provided by the service were negated by the downtime and headaches created by the agent. Also we lost quite a bit of trust by the dev team in our efforts to provide them a stable platform for their applications. When ever there is an issue now the first question is, "Is Stackify still on that server?" ----- ### "We have been using Stackify to monitor and improve our web apis to great success." — 5.0/5 > **Scott** | *25 July 2017* > > **Pros**: Easy to setup and track multiple environments. Informative information. Timely and highly customizable alerts > > **Cons**: IIS has to be restarted when updating the client and changing certain settings. Cannot generate total through put reports easily (total api calls by api by time period). ----- ### "Immediately knew we needed it" — 5.0/5 > **Jason** | *27 March 2017* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Data is easily visually consumable. Traces make it easy to tell what calls are problematic. > > **Cons**: Averaging data over a time period. For example, I want to know what the Average CPU or RAM usage is for a certain time period and not just see a graph and guess the average. Also, better delineation between server and webapp monitors (why do each share some fields?). Finally, need the ability to apply more than one monitor to a server or webapp. > > We had been searching for a good APM solution for a better price than the goldmines others were charging for too few features. We found Stackify and immediately knew that it was the right fit for us. It was very EASY to get useful data right away with a minimum of knowledge of the Stackify product. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/317716/retrace?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/317716/retrace) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
