Great SaaS monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
System stats, software stats, API endpoints, events, dashboards, alerts, mobile apps, all in one. Also basic APM and logging. Cloud integration plus agents, and extensible checks. Beats using something like nagios hollow.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive at scale, very little discounting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring of systems and services for production SaaS applications. It helps us discover issues both before and after they happen, and we use the dashboards both for system status and for business level dashboarding.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Monitoring's complicated. If you just take the defaults on graphs and alerts you're not necessarily going to be seeing what you want to see - you have to understand the sampling and available analytics and stuff, it's simple to set up but can be complicated to get a visualization or alert that really gives you what you want. Support can help a lot, though.
Outstanding metrics, logs, and alert aggregator
What do you like best about the product?
Everything is easily and cost effectively aggregated into a single repository. Support staff is quite helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Version upgrades on all clients should be manageable from a central console. Instead, they rely on integration with Puppet and Chef. In my opinion, while using something like Puppet should certainly be an option, an enterprise product should include the ability to centrally manage endpoint agents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Log aggregation and publishing to our application development teams, correlation between time stamps on logs and related device metrics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Initial installation is super quick and easy.
You will likely hit a steep learning curve / wall when you start moving into more advanced tasks such as alerts based on multiple aggregated metrics, custom dashboards, and log consolidation. The support team is very helpful when you get to this point.
You may want to also ramp up on your skills with Puppet and/or Chef as this is needed for automating the client upgrades.

What do you dislike about the product?
No suitable for all cloud services, for example if you're going to monitor your infrastructure in Azure it would be better to use Azure's Log Analytics.
This solution is not for non-experienced users and required time to learn it . Features used in free price tiers very limited for example no alert capabilities.

Not suitable for all cases but can be used in some ones. If you are using Azure you can use it's native tools, but if you're going to monitor AWS or on premise infrastructure it is good choice, plus it has several pricing tiers to test and decide if it is suable for your company.
