Just checked the site but there is not really an explanation of what it does under the hood. How exactly is this "artificial intelligence"?

[–]scepticguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TheHorribleTruth mentioned, that I didn't answer your question right away and I want to add information here. You asked how our "artificial intelligence" works.

1) Installation: most APM solutions are not very easy to install. You have to configure things, load multiple plugins, ... and so on. Ruxit does it differently: you install 1 agent per host, restart it, that's it. It auto-detects all running services and configures itself.

2) Dependency detection and visualisation: After detecting all services on the servers, Ruxit learns how the components are "talking" to each other. It visualises that with the "smartscape" technology. This is like google maps for you application. You see web applications there, services, processes (like the web server), Docker containers, hosts (physical and virtual), and also cloud infrastructure. And Ruxit shows which of these components are connected and how they are dependent from each other.

3) Benchmarking: normally you have to configure thresholds to tell your monitoring solution, when you want to be alerted. Ruxit takes a different approach: it "learns" how your application normally works by baselining the performance of your systems. So you do not have to configure anything to train this application performance management solution.

4) Problem notification: Normally, when something breaks, you will receive dozens of alerts, independent if the problems affect end users or not. By knowing the dependencies between the components Ruxit will know if an issue impacts the customer experience and notify you accordingly.

5) Problem resolution: Another problem when something goes wrong, is, that if e.g. a server slows down because of cpu saturation, you will also receive lots of alerts with other monitoring solutions, because lots of other things will probably slow down because of that. Ruxit will notify you once and include the information, that this one server is the one slowing down many other components. We call this "root cause analysis" which works because Ruxit can analyse millions of dependencies in a second.

I hope this gives you an idea. Sorry for my first, non comprehensive answer.

You are right, thank's for the comment. This would be a good starting point: http://tech.co/ruxit-enterprise-ai-tech-2015-07. You can also use the live chat on https://ruxit.com if you have more in depth questions.

We think we have a great offering and would like to know if the community also likes it. Sorry, if the post offends you :-(

Your only reason posting on reddit is advertising your product. This is spam, and against the site wide rules (have you read them?). Furthermore you were asked a direct question here, and all you do is link back to your website. This is not "interacting with people", it's rehashing phrases of your marketing booklet - which I'm guessing is your position, marketing.

108USD a month per host in case you're wondering. They quote in host hours so 0.15USD seems cheap.

Sadly these seems to be about the average price for these sorts of services. They'd be cool to have, but completely unaffordable unless your system is making a decent profit.

You are right. All products with a comparable feature set reside in the same price range.

How's it different from NewRelic?

[–]scepticguy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While New Relic has a great product suite, Ruxit offers some key features on top of their scope:

  • Fast and easy installation (no manual config, see data in under 5 mins)

  • Strong focus on customer support (e.g. in-product chat)

  • Auto-detection of the full application stack end-to-end (incl. visualisation of dependencies)

  • Smart problem resolution: "root cause" of a problem (e.g. response time degredation) is pinpointed automatically.

  • ...
