What JetBrains dotTrace is

JetBrains dotTrace is a paid desktop performance profiler for .NET applications, designed to locate and analyze bottlenecks. It provides timeline, sampling, tracing, and line-by-line modes, with CPU, memory, and thread profiling. Supported targets include desktop applications, .NET Core, ASP.NET, Mono and Unity apps, WCF and Windows services, Universal Windows Platform apps, and unit tests. Profiling can start from Visual Studio or JetBrains Rider. The tool can attach to a running application, capture data, and detach without requiring a restart. Remote profiling can reach applications and services on other machines, while command-line tools collect snapshots for continuous integration. A TeamCity plugin can profile integration tests and fail a test past an execution-time threshold. Its SDK supports programmatic profiling and snapshot saving. dotTrace is licensed only through dotUltimate or the All Products Pack. A free 30-day trial is available without an evaluation key.
