What do you like best about AWS X-Ray?

I like all aspects of AWS X-Ray which includes the time it takes for Lambda to initialize the function, and the various downstream systems it talked to, all nested by under custom subsegments. It even includes the trace of the underneath services, for example the time it took to publish to SNS, which was invoked using the Lambda API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS X-Ray?

I really love the way AWS x-ray makes the entire debugging and application analysis process so easy. Common methods for debugging applications are not that easy and not accessible via the cloud, unlike AWS x-ray. The best part is its integration with EC2 services. It spans across languages and supports a variety of DB as well. The way it finds both errors and performance issues, makes the overall debugging extremely efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS X-Ray?

Just like other debugging tools, sometimes it gives up false positives and false negatives, however, this issue can be handled by manually focusing on the areas which it makes eventually easier to analyze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS X-Ray:

Its one of a kind tool, with really nice features all accessible over the cloud. A must try! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS X-Ray solving and how is that benefiting you?

This helps me in analyzing my application's architecture, and also in identifying the key issues which might be responsible for the underperformance of the overall application. Its feature of giving a high-level architecture map diagram based on the metadata is extremely useful for visualizing the applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS X-Ray?

The best thing about AWS X-Ray is that it allows you to easily debug your applications in the cloud, no more having to grep multiple log files to try to find out what is causing a bug. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS X-Ray?

There's not much that I dislike about AWS X-Ray, it does take some time getting used to their UI navigating around the requests and what not. So I think the thing that I dislike is the learning curve to be proficient at it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS X-Ray solving and how is that benefiting you?

We mainly use it to help us find out why a request is failing or help us to isolate a production bug. We also started to use it to isolate slow running web services and increase the performance of our web services response times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS X-Ray?

AWS X-Ray is a great service that allows the analysis and debugging of your applications through the AWS cloud, it is compatible with microservices and server-based applications which can be difficult to debug by common methods, as well as developer can create maps of your applications where the architecture of your applications is visible so that X-Ray then evaluates the codes generated by user requests and in this way find errors or performance problems, it also includes a development kit for software that captures the API metadata and includes additional drivers for MySQL and PostgreSQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS X-Ray?

In spite of the changes that have been made to this service, it still presents errors that, although they are common, are tedious for the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS X-Ray:

When implementing this service, you must follow the instructions to the letter to avoid errors that may arise due to a bad configuration, either in the console, in the API, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS X-Ray solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a web developer, I usually use X-Ray to visualize my applications either during their development or production, making maps that allow me to observe their architecture, their dependencies tree and the best thing is that if my applications present problems I can debug them as well also send data without using programming interfaces.
