We performed a comparison between New Relic and SolarWinds Pingdom 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."We are able to drill down and see what is going on in the system."
"The most valuable feature of New Relic is its ease of use."
"As New Relic is already integrated with Drupal, we can get our projects done with best practice and with the best value that we believe in."
"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."
"The product allows the developer to see the actual problems in the applications."
"As soon as it monitors all our systems and is integrated with PagerDuty, the operations team just needs to wait for alerts on their cellphones to fix things."
"It is stable and scalable."
"It has helped my organization to dive deeper into the application using the APM module is very helpful."
"There are alerting mechanisms in place to let us know, for example, if a device is not responding to a ping test and is probably not going to work."
"One notable feature of this software is its page speed setup, which is highly commendable. Additionally, the metrics it provides are also impressive."
"The most valuable features are monitoring and reporting."
"Once you set the threshold on your environment, it feels very real-time"
"There are certain features that are not supported in New Relic, such as CATSEARCH, which allows you to do a full-text search."
"New Relic APM can improve the information when we dig deeper to check a problem. There should be more detailed information provided."
"How granular I could go down at looking at certain data, especially related to the operations, is limited."
"I haven't come across any features that are lacking."
"One thing I'd like to see in any APM, especially New Relic, is the ability to use distributed transactions. When one microservice calls another, it calls another database and microservice. The entire data visualization layer will not be able to correlate from one microservice from end to end and return on that path. Distributed transactions would be a great addition that would make life simpler. Unfortunately, no APM has that end-to-end capability."
"The price needs improvement."
"It gives you amazing statistics, but doesn’t give you enough information about what to do with the statistics."
"New Relic APM is a good tool, and it has a database of failures, but it could use a list of customer-specific failures. New Relic APM should be able to give my company advanced analytics through AI."
"I would like to see better integration with other products."
"Technical support could use some improvement."
"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI."
"Some of the functions could improve by making them easier."
