Keymetrics vs TraceView

Keymetrics vs TraceView: What are the differences?

Keymetrics: Full Stack monitoring and app management for Node.js. PM2 is a production process manager for Node.js applications with a built-in load balancer. It allows you to keep applications alive forever, to reload them without downtime and to facilitate common system admin tasks; TraceView: Ridiculously Detailed Application Monitoring. Expose everything, from the webserver to database, cache and API calls. The core technology is based on X-Trace, a distributed tracing framework that’s served as the inspiration for companies like Google and Twitter.

Keymetrics and TraceView can be primarily classified as "Performance Monitoring" tools.

Some of the features offered by Keymetrics are:

• Process management
• CPU / Memory Monitoring
• Log facilities

On the other hand, TraceView provides the following key features:

• Track every machine involved in a transaction and identify bottlenecks in a single click.
• Isolate interesting calls and drill down to the line of code and machine it ran on.
• Tie together code and infrastructure metrics with database, service, and cache calls, all in the context of a single transaction.

"Easy Setup" is the top reason why over 6 developers like Keymetrics, while over 2 developers mention "The heatmap helped me isolate DB related issues" as the leading cause for choosing TraceView.
