Pros	Cadence Design Systems, Inc No answers on this topic	Percepio Great visualization Sometimes awkward views (vertical vs horizontal) Verified User Read full review
Cons	Cadence Design Systems, Inc No answers on this topic	Percepio It's not always easy to include/integrate Tracealyzer in the OS build. It would be nice to have a simple install/plug n play method for our target. Sometimes, the .bin files from Tracealyzer don't always work and we don't know why Verified User Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cadence Design Systems, Inc No answers on this topic	Percepio While we started using uCOSIII for our simpler microcontroller products, we also use QNX on more complex targets (full microprocessors) and it is a much more complex platform offering event tracing, memory tracing, and performance measures that are extremely good and integrated. More importantly these tools are fully integrated without any code changes. Tracealyzer is not integrated as much into uCOSIII like QNX's tools, debugger, etc. But, going thru the manual work of adding Tracealyzer to the build, it did help us get to a shippable product.

Return on Investment	Cadence Design Systems, Inc No answers on this topic	Percepio Positive: We were able to find some thread priority issues with Tracealyzer. Positive: we were able to see timing of events in the sw/hw that we couldn't otherwise see. Verified User Read full review
