Easy to use, full of features, outstanding support
Pros:
Catchpoint is clearly the leader in the industry on pretty much every metric you look at (aside from market share...for now), and blows Keynote/Gomez out of the water when it comes to features and support. Mehdi (the CEO) is accessible at all hours of the day and night for any and all questions,...
Very good for transaction level monitoring, but expensive and HP needs better support and training
Pros:
HP Diagnostics is a very good monitoring tool especially for transaction level monitoring -- it shows hot spots which can be drilled down to DB level, table, query, SP's, record and field level and also at Object level, Classes level,method or Augment levels instead of pinpointing bottlenecks...
Easy product to set up and very little administration once the product is in operation. Real User traffic 24x7, nice reports, and our customer is very satisfied with the results.
The Dashboard gives us a quick view of where the application problem is which means quicker resolution times.
As a side note. Often I used the Capture side of the product more than the Analysis side of the product. The ability to do captures without having to use tcpdump on each system is very helpful. This ability takes the grunt work out of gathering the basic information that is required for deeper...
I’ve used new relic with my rails apps for over a year now and like the service a lot. I recently noticed that they have integration with php so I decided to get the php agent configured on my server so I could get stats on an upcoming symfony 2 app.
I use Nginx / PHP-fpm to run my php apps on...

We get a quick overview of how our site feels and if we have any problems we can very easily see where the problems are. We also have an alarm from the system if we get into trouble.
Able to give you alerts on possible slow downs of applications even when the users are not complaining yet. Able to work with other products to assist with application traces.

Pros:
New Relic has proven itself as a very reliable and convenient way to monitor your servers and applications. Compared to other cloud-based offerings, New Relic is easy to install and provides a lot of information to you in a very convenient and easy to understand dashboard.
I chose to test drive...
1.Gives an excellent perspective on the state of the system at fault as well as the past!

3. From one screen you can maintain different databases
Great for rapid root cause, data is presented back in a way that is easy for non technical stakeholders to absorb (DBAs, Cap Analysts, testers, developers, application support), easy deployment on Oracle and SQL systems. Trending all SQL statements over time is invaluable to understand step changes...
Introscope is definitely an elegant tool for Application monitoring and diagnosing performance issues especially in the Java space. 'Worth the cost' depends on how much the company is willing to invest. Keep in mind that you do need powerful hardware if you plan to monitor with hundreds...
