We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and New Relic based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Azure Monitor is praised for its lower cost, better integration with Microsoft technologies, and its ability to monitor cloud resources across multiple subscriptions. Although New Relic is easy to use and provides in-depth application information, it is criticized for its pricing structure and lack of network monitoring features. Azure Monitor also offers valuable resources for new users with customizable templates and best practices from Microsoft. Overall, Azure Monitor is regarded as a strong and dependable product that offers excellent value for its cost.
"Azure Monitor's best features are its graphs and charts, the different visibility options, and reporting."
"The solution works well overall. It's easy to implement and simple to use."
"The solution integrates well with the Microsoft platform."
"The most valuable feature is that it's stable. It hasn't crossed any thresholds."
"The solution has tons of valuable features."
"The upside to the solution is if you are working in a Microsoft or Azure environment, it makes things easier."
"The most valuable feature is the universality of their functionalities in all Azure services, including, software solutions."
"For me, the best feature is the log analysis with Azure Monitor's Log Analytics. Without being able to analyze the logs of all the activities that affect the performance of a machine, your monitoring effectiveness will be severely limited."
"It is stable and scalable."
"It has prevented failures from occurring in our production environment."
"The synthetics, alerts, and native inbuilt capabilities for monitoring the cloud with the New Relic agents have been helpful."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to receive in-depth information about applications. It can detect a lot of important information."
"We were able to integrate with the messaging tool, Slack, which meant that we got notifications whenever something was not quite right."
"The monitoring so far has been good and we are happy with it."
"It allows the restriction of privileges and control of users."
"This solution has fewer features than some of its competitors, so adding more features to it would make it better."
"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"The troubleshooting logs need improvement. There should be some improvement there. I have a hard time finding the right logs at the right times whenever there is an issue occurring."
"The monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors."
"We cannot use AI services with the solution."
"They need to work on a more hybrid deployment that will allow us to monitor local on-premise deployments and connect to different systems. I would like to see more integration."
"The solution should have cross-connection or cross-communication between tech partners."
"In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs."
"I would like an infrastructure network that provides real-time views, showing the issues."
"I would like to see the company implement the AI auto-baseline feature which Dynatrace has."
"I think that there have been some questionable product enhancements. Over a year ago, New Relic rolled out a new navigation that really disrupted our workflow."
"The customization of the start and end time is kind of cool."
"I haven't come across any features that are lacking."
"It is very difficult to award the service level cycles at an endpoint level."
"It is complicated, especially in how you interpret the data that it provides. If it had a bit more canned, out-of-the-box features, especially some of the reporting features, that would be more useful."
"Real-user monitoring would be helpful as it would help me to really understand the client-side performance of the application."
