"Crash analytics goes down to the level of code you need to check."
"The insight it gives into the applications that it's actually applied to, and the flexibility to do many things with those metrics, and also feed your own metrics from external sources."
"Some of its valuable features include transaction traces, dashboards, and metric grouping to see combined data."
"JVM memory monitoring and connection pool monitoring are valuable features."
"Gives us the ability to know how our application is performing in real-time."
