Which Java profiler is better: JProfiler or YourKit? [closed]

Answer 1

i've used yourkit and it is a very nice profiler, the best i've ever used in java (i've used a variety of others over the years). that being said, i've never used jprofiler, so i can't give a direct comparison.

Answer 2

If you're on jdk >=1.6_07 you might also want to look at jvisualvm which comes bundled.

Answer 3

For quick and dirty profiling of command-line programs, JIP works really well.

Answer 4

I have used YourKit. I have not used JProfiler. I have used OptimizeIt before. I have very good opinion about YourKit. It is very stable and good GUI and good feature list. One unique feature I have noticed is CPU profiling with and without wait time (like I/O wais) including.

It is priced also very reasonably (about about $1100 for 5 licenses I think)

Answer 5

+1 for yourkit --- using 7.0 on dev boxes in windows
not used JProfiler for a while -- cannot comment since they might have improved in the meantime.

Answer 6

With Java 7 Update 40, Oracle included Java mission control (originally part of the JRockit JDK) - a very powerful performance tuning tool which is able to compete with yourkit/jprofiler.

Take a look and be surprised.
