We performed a comparison between New Relic and ServiceNow Cloud Observability based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the dashboards and tracing."
"The stability of New Relic APM is very good."
"We were able to integrate with the messaging tool, Slack, which meant that we got notifications whenever something was not quite right."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage the application flow."
"It has given us better insight into the performance of the system."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to receive in-depth information about applications. It can detect a lot of important information."
"It has helped us maintain a much higher uptime than we had previously."
"It offers helpful user metrics so we can learn more about the user experience."
"The UI is very intuitive."
"The ability to create a stream based on different parameters, operation name, service name, URL, tags, and URI part, is one valuable feature."
"The solution Lightstep/ServiceNow has a couple of pretty advanced functionalities to help us investigate a deviation and help the development teams have better observability in the environment using distributed and complex services."
"The solution needs to have staging."
"I would like the ability to set up certain dummy accounts and do the actual things that the customer is doing, without impacting the production environment."
"New Relic is very slow, and the app is a bit frustrating to use, which is something that has been happening a lot in the past year. During the last six months, I have noticed that it has become extremely laggy."
"Data Dog captures the entire session and then provides it as a video player path, which gives more insight into what the user was doing. It's pretty impressive. New Relic does that, yet it only captures using a couple of screenshots, which is not very detailed since you are unable to see the entire user flow."
"It would help customers if there were an on-premises version available."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."
"I would like an infrastructure network that provides real-time views, showing the issues."
"The support team could be better. Because of the different versions of different tactics of integrating reactive code base, the documentation is not very clear if someone has to be onboard. I would rate the documentation of Lightstep a five out of ten. It could need improvement."
"The dashboard and graphics must be improved."
"The design of this solution is not very intuitive and probably could come with more friendly tips for beginners."
