Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The deep insights, which will give you the metrics (not a high level), so we can build out at the database level where the bottleneck is. This has been pretty helpful.""It has helped us maintain a much higher uptime than we had previously.""The most valuable features are the dashboards and tracing.""There are many valuable features in New Relic APM. We developed some software applications and we are able to monitor the errors very easily. Their log security retention is very good.""We detect issues using dashboards that we built on New Relic.""The most valuable feature is application monitoring.""New Relic has helped us in terms of the optimizing our print and loading times.""We are able to drill down and see what is going on in the system."

Cons
"It would help customers if there were an on-premises version available.""New Relic needs to improve is the user data schema.""Some of our customers see New Relic as a promising product to have, and we would like to deliver it to them. The only way we would be able to do that would be if we had server appliance for clients that we could install in their data centres.""We would like a dashboard feature to be created for this product. This would allow us to monitor both the front and back-end of our UIs performance, and then report on it.""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.""We would like to receive more AWS-specific details from the New Relic Dashboard, like EC2 health.""The older view is much better than the new view that they have. We'd like to go back to that previous version. The user interface just isn't as nice as it used to be.""The UX/UI design of New Relic APM could be improved. The solution currently has some slow pages in terms of loading and viewing the pages, for example, the reports. The reports and other pages take a long time to load."

"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything.""There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution.""The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time.""Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users.""Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
  • "The monthly cost os $1000 per server per month, but it could be even more. We pay about $250 for the server, and then New Relic wants over $1000 to give us statistics on those servers."
  • "Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
  • "It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
  • "If it’s the right tool, it doesn’t matter what it costs because you’re going to get it back many-fold from your productivity."
  • "I recommend using the free version of New Relic. If you like the free version and understand its importance for your company, you can move to the trial. Then, you can migrate to the paid version."
  • "There is a picture which goes to your browser and it monitors requests from other users. However, it's impossible to use now because the price is very high. The feature is very nice, but I tried it during the trial period, and the current price makes it impossible to use."
  • "They gave us aggressive discounts when they were brought in for the first time, but they have also kept them for the year-on-year renewals, which has been absolutely fine."
