Overall Satisfaction with blackfire.io

In our organization blackfire.io is used within our development team in order to test code and expose any performance issues before go live and while in production. This tool is used to analyze any bottlenecks in performance and call out any lackluster coding patterns that could ultimately lead to a bad roll out.
  • Provide details on processes eating up valuable server resources
  • Alert against bottlenecks and find bottlenecks
  • Performs load tests in code before moving to production environments
  • blackfire.io can improve on their platform UI making the product easier to read and use
  • Improve on reporting issues in a more streamlined approach with more debugging tools
  • They could provide more support and documentation to those not aware of how to configure the tool.
  • Performance testing in our non production environments.
  • Profiling code while it runs to give us metrics on bottlenecks
  • Real time monitoring to detect any performance issues as they happen
  • The positive impact that blackfire.io gives to us is that we can see when our infrastructure is suffering due to codebase changes.
  • We can be proactive in assessing if codebase changes will affect performance of our servers
  • We can also proactively predict how load will be managed during times of high traffic to our site and understand how our code will react to it.
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.

blackfire.io is best suited for any company that has a development team managing code releases into different environments. This tool is crucial in cases where there are codebase changes or upgrades and it really helps in load testing and code validity. With every new codebase release there could be a risk of how it affects the infrastructure supporting it so blackfire.io helps report on those metrics.
