Yes, it's been an incredibly valuable tool for me. I get the most out of the host monitoring and the logging / alerting. The APM is nice, but I'm not using it nearly as much as the other pieces.
Just getting logging centralized alone has saved me tons of time, which is in turn more time spent on the product. I've been able to use the log parsing to setup metrics that tell me when an outside integration is acting up and isolate which paths. Take a day to really learn how their logs work and you'll be able to generate metrics / advanced event alerting in no time.
I was hesitant to pay the premium, but the peace of mind has been worth it. You can piece the same thing together with open source tooling. But then you've got another thing to manage.
