Pros
"We appreciate the way that this solution allows us to monitor the ongoing status of the UI at any given time.""Every time there is a crisis, high traffic, or if we see a problem with a server, we go to New Relic and monitor it to determine the cause.""End-user Synthetics and monitoring are very good.""The most valuable feature is the ability to receive in-depth information about applications. It can detect a lot of important information.""It gives insights to non-technical people about what technical issues are most important, how much it impacts customers, and potentially, where we should be targeting our development teams when they have time.""We use it for monitoring, identifying when services go down, or when they are outside of what we would consider normal operations.""The best feature of New Relic is its simple look and feel, making it easier to use than other tools.""The product's initial setup phase was very easy."

"The most valuable feature of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is the user interface.""The solution allows you to subscribe to the features you need and utilize CMDB, ITSM, and discovery on the same platform.""ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a stable product.""It is a stable solution. I have not experienced any system outages during my time using the solution.""It is flexible. You can tune it, more or less, as you want.""It has been very useful for tracking.

Cons
"Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area.""They need to improve the alerting and dashboarding as these are the key features in DevOps.""I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues.""I haven't come across any features that are lacking.""The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure.""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.""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.""It gives you amazing statistics, but doesn’t give you enough information about what to do with the statistics."

More New Relic Cons →

"ServiceNow could be more prescriptive on how customers can leverage some of the benefits.""The initial setup phase was hard and could be made easier.""Service Mapping is a time-consuming process. The time and effort versus the benefits are very difficult to articulate to customers.""The solution's licensing model is a bit complicated. It should be simple and easy for people to understand.""There is a slower learning curve associated with the tool's scripting part. It is also not cheap.""If you are new to using the solution, you will find the setup complex.""The solution needs to add mobilization, where we can connect mobile devices or wireless devices to do wireless scanning and bring assets into the database.""The pattern part can be improved. Patterns are used in the Discovery feature. Although it is easy to create new patterns and modify the existing ones, it would be better if this solution can have more out-of-the-box patterns. In terms of new features, they can include artificial intelligence, something like machine learning."

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."
  • More New Relic Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
  • "It has different subscription models."
  • "There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
  • "The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
  • "It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."

  • "The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
  • "My customers pay for the ServiceNow IT Operations Management license annually. I'd rate the pricing based on value. ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a premium product as it has better features than competitors."
