What differentiates Blackfire APM from other similar products?

The feature offered is wide. Have a lot of out of the box ready to use features without the need of many customization too. Easy to implement and track. Setup on new server is easy.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Code performance report and tracking perform wonder. We can monitor our system closer to the code itself and have good transparency in what going behing the line.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The footprint on each request is more significant than competitors. After doing PoC for a good month we decided to choose other with smaller footprint because we don't want to use higher tier instance.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If the memory usage and footprint still commendable for you this tool is great. I will get back to try blackfire again when the footprint getting smaller later down the months.
