Well suited when server monitoring, not well suited for non system administrators. Need to have server knowledge to get full understanding of product.

  • Visualization of line charts
  • Cloud hosted
  • Pulse lacks the ability to have multi-level filters for viewing data. You can only build a dashboard containing particular metrics then you can change what instances are displayed on those charts.

Pulse is great for people that want a cloud hosted platform for monitoring time series data. You can post as many metrics as often as you want into Pulse. Pulse is also great for basic alerting functionality.
