Is there anything like New Relic for .Net apps?

A: 

The IIS community has many tools for performance monitoring.

Not one of those was even remotely close to New Relic. It's easy to look at perf counters but that's not very insightful as to WHERE the app is spending most of it's time.

dotTrace from jetbrains: http://www.jetbrains.com/profiler/index.html

or

ants profiler: http://www.red-gate.com/products/ants_performance_profiler/features.htm

I've used both and liked them both, not free though.

for insane profiling across processes and machines (in a SOA platform for instance) we have used dynaTrace http://www.dynatrace.com/en/ which is definately NOT free :)

Have you tried VSTS Test Edition at all? I don't know much about it because we have VSTS Development Edition at work, but it seems to have some load testing capabilities. I doubt that it's advanced as the specialized tools you've listed though. Just curious..

we have used VSTS test edition for load testing, but I interpreted the question to be on profiling. VSTS works as a charm for load tests

Sam, I'm happy to tell you that as of today, there is something that is very much like new relic for .NET. It's New Relic for .NET. Same service, ui, pricing, etc. New agent that supports the .NET frameweork. Try it out for free during the beta period: http://support.newrelic.com/faqs/docs/dotnet-beta. Cheers,

A: 

The most popular (pretty subjective, uh?) but non-free are:

  • JetBrains dotTrace
  • RedGate ANTS Performance / Memory Profiler
