AWS X-Ray Reviews

I like the fact it has in-depth metrics and analytics. It's also very easy to use and quite intuitive, far better compared to what the competition has to offer in 2022.

So far I haven't found anything that I dislike. It's really hard to find something to base the critique upon, maybe they can do a bit more on the UX / UI department.

We're using X-rays it to analyze and run diagnoses for our distributed applications scheme. Based on those analytics we then create a dump to create more metrics and visuals.

The best part about using AWS X-Ray for debugging is that it works seamlessly with EC2, Elastic Beanstalk and also with Lambda Functions. It supports applications written in a variety of languages like .NET and Java.

Nothing as such. It could eventually support more languages, however, it's already very extensive.

It is a really helpful way to identify the main issues due to which an application might be underperforming. it also helps a lot in the process of debugging and diagnosing the issues.

It is awesome for debugging code and that you can get down to the single part of the code that is buggy

Not much that I really dislike. The service does what it promises well

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Debugging

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Its one of a kind tool, with really nice features all accessible over the cloud. A must try!

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.

I like the way you can use aws xray to gain insight into your 'micro servicey' application

i would prefer the discovery of xray screenshot within the console to be a little more intuitive

faster and targeted resolutions of potential issues

It's handyness and simple set for integrating with multiple Services like ec2 ,ELastic bean stack.It for sure increases end user experience and helps is identification of problems.

Nothing I could find as the services which is most used in our environment are eligible to use x ray. USE IT for tracking the application behaviour and many more things.

I have installed it on web ec2 instances which is useful for tracking the web application behaviour and the traffic.With this business performance is increased .

AWS X-Ray is a great service that allows quick analysis. The best part is its integration, the whole AWS software is excellent, complete solution to anything. The system works in cloud which is the most important reason why I use this.

Sometimes analysis aren't very accurate as expected. Need little learning of software before integrating or using it.

This works really well, our processes are much easier and smoother.

easy to navigate, organized, clear, quick

not a lot of people use it at work but I know more students are using it now

debug, application services, performance improvement for applications
