The main problem with JAMon is a lack of updates and I haven't used it much. Perf4j is still under development and gives you an ability to measure execution time, generate consist reports and when needed charts. I had no problems with Spring based projects, unfortunately Perf4j was limited to support only AspectJ. It has changed with recently released version 0.9.13 when together with Alex Devine from Perfj4 team we introduced a new AOP model. Currently Perf4j can be used in handy way with (in theory) almost every AOP framework. As a proof of concept Alex created integration with EJB interceptors and I wrote an add-on for Seam Framework - Seam-Perf4j - http://seam-perf4j.sourceforge.net/ . Hi Jeroen.

Synthetic monitoring plays a script to verify that the scenario works well every x minutes. So if you experience issue in between the x interval, it is not visible. For me the perfect tools are:

What is your experience and what is your opinion how it compares to JAMon? Hi Marcin, I have looked a bit at Perf4J. What is your experience and what is your opinion how it compares to JAMon?

They seem to fall in the same category as Uptrends, Site24x7 and Dotcom-monitor. What is your experience with them? Hi Wang, those tools are new to me.
