Powerful, but confusing tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love the amount of analytics power that SignalFX gives you. They definitely excel in clearly delivering and displaying lots of data. The pre-built dashboards and charts for common situations are also very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it is easy to work with something that is already present in SingalFX, it is very difficult to start from scratch. Graphs and charts will look great once you create them, but digging into any options beyond that basics can be challenging and is not well documented.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using SignalFX to collect metrics across a number of micro services and are starting to use SignalFX detectors for alerting as well. Once we figured them out, we were able to start to use much more sophisticated alerting conditions to catch cases we previously couldn't (and ignore noisy ones that would previously alert us)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to thoroughly explore the tools. There is a lot more you can do beyond the basics and what is documented. Don't hesitate to reach out to support with questions. The feature your looking for may not exist, but they are generally helpful and responsive

Very useful but sometimes not super accurate
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to setup alerts when things go wrong, easy to filter bigdata, dashboards are super-useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dashbords setup/find/update can be a pain, sometimes is stuck(freeze) when needs to introduce options in filtering. Please improve dashboards management ux.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Measure all stats, notice and pinpoint fires in the system.
We rely on signalfx without any fear of being disappointed
What do you like best about the product?
Support is awesome and so is general uptime
What do you dislike about the product?
UX is sometimes confusing and graphs are not easily understandable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
* alerting on our services and applications depends 100% of signalfx.
* moving some of our metrics to signalfx too.

Good but the UI could see improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Detectors are great. They could use a faster preview and better explanation for algorithms used.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is not user friendly because:
- Confusing when a dashboard is saved or not.
- Not staightforward to move graphs from a dashboard to another.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Network monitoring (timings of calls, frequency)
How SignalFX gives visibility
What do you like best about the product?
SignalFX dashboards have helped track several transactions
What do you dislike about the product?
Dashboards UI can be improved to facilitiate drilldown easily. Latency to load some of the dashboards is an occasional concerns.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Latency and throughput
Great product and support
What do you like best about the product?
very good performance and great features. the product is progressing and new features are always added. great alerting and visualizations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Alerting configuration is quite complex to define so you dont get bad alerts
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alerts in real time issues, we can detect ie the number of registrations per client type. we track if there is a dictionary attack on our services, also to detect performance issues, or to analyze such issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
great visualizations, alerting features, and tons of integrations.
bery very good customer support and they are really listening to customer feedback.

Great monitoring tool, value for money!
What do you like best about the product?
Very user friendly and easy to use and easy to set up. Value for money! Nice work on the GUI and time shift! Easily labelled fields and intuitive options.
What do you dislike about the product?
Response time when raising incidents with Signal Fx

SignalFX Review - Great!
What do you like best about the product?
Simplifies collectd use, allowing users to leverage the power of collectd without all the headaches of attaining visualization and actionable alerts
What do you dislike about the product?
SignalFX is somewhat difficult with newer integrations. A lot of iteration and support usually is needed when setting up a newer released integration, especially for very generic integrations such as StatsD.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Infrastructure efficiency
- Proactive problem solving
- Proactive problem solving
Recommendations to others considering the product:
SignalFX's value is in its customization. Anything that needs monitoring can be added in through a plugin via the Open Source collectd project, if the plugin is not built already. Level of monitoring can be adjusted based on necessity allowing costs be leveled with the monitored item's importance.
A good solution for time series data
What do you like best about the product?
SignalFx makes it easy to visualize and alert on time series data. If you want to make charts of system load, requests per second, and so on, they will likely serve you well. Their tag/dimension model works well for our use case.
What do you dislike about the product?
SignalFx doesn't (yet) have a good story on ephemeral data. If you're monitoring docker containers that come into and out of existence frequently, you'll find pain points. Also, their metrics catalog can be very slow and unhelpful - this makes it difficult to find your data if you don't know its exact nomenclature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use SignalFx to address real-time monitoring of most of our computational resources.
Overall pretty stable for monitoring and alerting, via API and UI
What do you like best about the product?
UI to visualize data points is sleek. Signalflow APIs allows programmatic access to data points ingested and you can use that to build customized monitoring on top it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Charts sometimes does not load in reasonable time if there are lot of metric time series.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to build custom monitoring and recovering solutions using Signalflow API. We also rely on Signalfx detectors for real-time alerting etc.
