Blackfire
Blackfire.io is super helpful in allowing proactive testing of applications before releasing on the production environment. Blackfire.io provides actionable insights to improve code proactively by integration with the development software. Also tracks the live production environment and is able to highlight any loading issues or unusual bounce rates. Blackfire.io also monitors HTTP requests and SQL queries which again help improve efficiency for developers and reduce development time.

SOAPSonar proved handy not only for our SOAP and REST API & Webservice testing, but also included SMTP Support, which was great for us. Our QA team found this very useful for our internal testing needs, and we were also able to simulate load, performance testing for our webservices using SOAPSonar

blackfire.io definitely provides an edge over competing products such as Datadog due to the level of monitoring and analysis it provides. Datadog is a great tool however when evaluating and catching inefficiencies in lower non production environments, blackfire.io provides a level of reporting that were did not find any competing products.
