The ability to see what is going on inside the JVM. Also, the request history and request error log are instrumental to pinpoint issues with subsystems. When debugging slow requests we can easily see if the databases have issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It IS expensive, but the Integral team works hard to build the best monitoring system. Any production system needs this. I would like a free license for localhost deployment, simply as my developers need to see what is going on in the sprint when they add features or fix bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are running ColdFusion application in a containerized cloud-environment. Containers are sometimes short-living. FR Cloud is the place, where we find diagnostic data and insights into failures.
What we like most, is the ability to dive deep into the request and even see the template and line number of a CFML file, where the issue occured.
Apart from that, FR helps us to "right-size" our infrastructure components and monitor the effects of our modifications.
The installation is quite easy and configuration with config files goes straight forward.
We are able to give access to our customer's IT, so that they can monitor independently on a daily basis, without the need of having dedicated access into our SaaS setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
nothing ;-)
one thing to improve: documentation of the config file. We were configuring via the Admin UI on a local instance and then took the config file for our Docker deployment. But with a full documentation, that step would become easier.
an idea for improvement: if we could integrate FR with AWS XRay, as we are using an event-driven architecture - this would give us a perfect insight into our system behaviour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's the simplest setup for Commandbox .
Like others, it gives visibility into running requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It frequently disconnects from the agent when Live View is toggled on.
Support is a bit slow to respond, but since they're in a different time zone I can't really fault them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Any time I start working on a new product to improve performance, FusionReactor is my first stop. Being able to see how the server is performing and identifying where to focus my efforts is vital. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Other than identifying the problem and fixing the code for me, nothing! Everything FusionReactor does enhances my abilities as a developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have been a ColdFusion development shop (small business web/saas) for better than a quarter century. In that time we have learned a great deal about what makes our apps work and how to troubleshoot them pretty quickly. Or so we thought. Over the past two years, we have gone through some significant infrastructure updates and upgrades, and along with these came some new CMFL challenges. After much digging around the internet and chatting with trusted resources someone asked what our FusionReactor APM was showing concerning the problem we were troubleshooting. Well, we didn't have an FR setup, so we opted to do the trial, and sure enough, this helped to highlight not just the issue we were actively trying to fix, but several others that were just under the surface. Identifying those, probably saved us several more hours of hunting for a fix.
Long story short, for any CFML server we set up we are sure to enroll it before it goes live. This has helped us to continue to provide the level of service that our clients have come to expect and even more so demand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I just wish that the newer versions could be installed on older Java versions. I know it sounds silly, but we are currently stuck with some older CF services, and while the on-prem is super helpful, the consolidated view of the cloud service would be better.

The strongest elements of FR are its telemetry insights and live debugging features, which can be used with a small footprint in a production environment. It's extremely simple to install and integrate into any IDE. It's essential in everyday operations of our enterprise environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
None that I can think of. The support is extremely receptive to feeback and tend to implement fixes and make imrovements regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Without doubt, the on-premises memory analysis features, are first class. Memory leaks are extremely hard to track down without a tool like FusionReactor.
Plus the memory footprint of FusionReactor is very low. It uses less than 100MB RAM on a Windows 2019 server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the Cloud version of FusionReactor lacks the memory features of the on-premises version. This is disappointing. I also think the GUI of the on-premises version is clearer and less overcrowded. The default night mode of the Cloud version, makes it hard to see things clearly.

FusionReactor is the go-to-solution for any CFML platform, let it be Adobe ColdFusion or Lucee. It allows smooth server monitoring in the cloud with a lot of dashboard information to drill into should the need arise.
Integration with ACF and Lucee is super easy and just takes a few minutes setup to include new instances into the monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hardly anything. It's maybe not necessarily the cheapest way to keep track of your infra, but it's a cost of doing business and provides a lot of value as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
FusionReactor provides our compay with a single view of all our production servers at a glance. When application problems arise, we can identfy the requests quickly and then inspect what the issues are whether it be database or network latency. Integration with commandbox makes deploying and configuring FusionReactor a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Accessing a production instance FusionReactor console is a bit problematic but mainly because of network configuration use of load balancers but I feel this can be overcome with some more thought and since the cloud service provides most of what we need anyways, we rarely need to remote into an instance to view the full feaytured FusionReactor console.

The information about resources being used is very beneficial. I can get web metrics with a click of a button, and the insights displayed also help a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much, can be a bit expensive but makes up for it with value provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to view granular details about what is using resources on the server. The UI is easy to use and very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't think of anything, it's an excellent product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
