Quick insights and easy setup
Reviewed on 2016/12/16
Prefix allows us a quick view of how all of our web apis are behaving and if there any unexpected errors or performance issues we need to address. Using it in conjunction with ReTrace provides even deeper insights without slowing down our production code.
Pros
Easy to setup and use.
Cons
Getting detailed logging can sometimes take playing around with your config settings to get the ideal results.

Prefix is a great tool which has helped pick up issues before I knew there was issues! Its not intrusive and will sit quietly monitoring while I run everything locally, it also has a great UI and makes me look around 43% smarter when its on my second screen :).

Awesomeness
Reviewed on 2016/12/22
By far one of the best and easiest to use profiling tools I've ever used. Most of the other tools are either to hard to setup or don't give me what I want. Prefix shows me exactly what I need to see on one screen, exceptions, SQL queries from EF, load times. It has become a tool I use daily for software development
Pros
Easy to setup
Easy to use and understand
Pretty much all the info I need to debug and tune my apps
Cons
None that I can think of

Was up and running in under five minutes are immediately saw performance issues!
Reviewed on 2016/05/03
I was tasked with improving the performance on web API calls for a particular project that seemed "slow". After doing the usual performance analysis with Visual Studio, I was reaching for Glimpse and stumbled upon Prefix so decided to give it a go since it required no additional dependencies in the project. Prefix quickly highlighted that there were hundreds of database calls for a single web method call, something that didn't show up in the standard performance analysis tools. This was very obvious from the summary icons so any developers could have identified this. The problem was a component that populated a string lookup from the database in the constructor and was not set to be a singleton in the dependency injector container. Almost everything used this and as the type was resolved/injected it would hit the database each time instead of using a singleton. This simple fix literally cut the web method call time in half making me look like an instant hero!

Easy to use and help me in identifying issue in our applications
Reviewed on 2016/12/16
I have been using prefix for awhile now and issues it identifies are spot on. It has helped me so much in writing better code hy reducing how many calls to our database i was making and help me identify exactly why a few pages where taking so long to load. It is a great product and i am looking forward to seeing what stackify comes up with next.
Pros
Easy to use and clearly shows you exactly where any issue may be happening
Cons
When new updates cone out i have had to renstall the product instead of just an upgrade

This is a great tool for MVC Development

Stackify Prefix helped me find a hidden Null reference exception. I'm doing mostly JavaScript development at the moment, but will definitely have this running when I do my next Asp.Net MVC app.
Pros
shows exceptions, SQL generated by Entity Framework, load times and more
Cons
pops up a message a lot about Visual Studio needing to be restarted to work, but it works anyways (VS 2015 on Win 7)

A great, non-intrusive profiler
Reviewed on 2017/05/30
Pros
Just use it out-of-box. Without additional configuration or whatsoever, it tells you more than you need. Great tool to measure query times, inspect memory leaks, hidden exceptions.
Cons
Stack trace is already good now but it think guys behind this awesome product can do better in that area. UI filter can be improved a little as well.

Extremely valuable free tool for .Net devs
Reviewed on 2016/12/15
Within 60 seconds of using Prefix I discovered a nested loop that was performing over 100 DB calls that I was completely unaware of. This was after 3 different senior devs had already attempted to optimize the exact code in question for performance.
I was instantly sold on the product.
Pros
Quick to discover problem areas in running code.
Free.
Quick to install.
New features being added rapidly.
Cons
Sometimes it's a little confusing when the prefix icon appears in the system toolbar (on windows) if prefix is really running and taking up a lot of resources or if it's just in a sort-of idle mode.

Slick, smooth and easy to use
Reviewed on 2016/12/21
I've been using Stackify's Prefix offering to help identify bottlenecks in both new and legacy websites. The ability to see SQL queries along with the various web requests is an absolute god send. When you find that request that should be using a cache but is smashing the database, those problems get solved so easily with Stackify
Pros
It's ease of set up. Getting up and running is (almost) as simple as install and go.
Cons
Sometimes the Visual Studio integration can be tricky to get to work. I'm yet to try profiling custom code with it.
