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.
"Recently, they have improved their integration with other resources, so we get even more robust data."
"Azure Monitor's best features are its graphs and charts, the different visibility options, and reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the universality of their functionalities in all Azure services, including, software solutions."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use."
"The feature that I found most valuable in Azure Monitor is its monitoring abilities. With Azure Monitor, you are able to monitor all of your cloud resources across multiple subscriptions in one dashboard and create solution-specific alerts that can trigger an email to the team responsible for that specific solution."
"The dashboard allows us to easily track various metrics and quickly understand the overall health of our system."
"The solution very easily integrates with Azure services and in one click you can monitor your resource."
"We appreciate the way that this solution allows us to monitor the ongoing status of the UI at any given time."
"We have done the New Relic integration with Serverless AWS, which has helped us with monitoring, and keeping our monitoring from our on-premise part with the cloud part."
"The alert mechanism is quite accurate when something goes wrong in your system. For example, if you have hundreds of APIs on your server, and any of the APIs is not performing well, you get an alert. When there is a drop or change in the threshold value, the beauty of New Relic is that within a fraction of seconds, all the stakeholders who are configured in the New Relic system will get an alert. That's one good thing."
"Working with the solution is very easy. It's user-friendly."
"The best feature of New Relic is its simple look and feel, making it easier to use than other tools."
"The most valuable feature is application monitoring."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature of New Relic is its ease of use."
"Azure Monitor could improve the visualization aspect and integrate better with other third-party services."
"Although it's not always the case, the price can sometimes get expensive. This depends on a number of factors, such as how many services you are trying to integrate with Azure Monitor and how much storage they're consuming each month (for example, how large are the log files?)."
"This solution has fewer features than some of its competitors, so adding more features to it would make it better."
"They need to work with other cloud providers - not just Azure."
"Currently, it seems it's complicated to get the correct information in terms of what to do and how things work."
"Automation related to gathering metrics from more applications could be improved."
"When something goes down, we want the option to have automation in place to get it back up again as quickly as possible."
"In terms of pricing, Azure Monitor's billing based on data size can sometimes lead to increased costs, especially when developers need to purge data frequently. While there are mechanisms in place to track and manage this, there is room for improvement in terms of optimizing data pausing and related processes. Enhancements in this area could help mitigate potential billing concerns and provide a more seamless experience for users."
"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."
"We would like to receive more AWS-specific details from the New Relic Dashboard, like EC2 health."
"I would like to see the company implement the AI auto-baseline feature which Dynatrace has."
"Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area."
"The solution needs to have staging."
"The solution does not provide input on how the page performs in a big group. It just says that the page performance is bad, but it does not say what can be done to improve it. If they could provide some insight or guidance on how to make improvements, that would be a big help."
"Real-user monitoring would be helpful as it would help me to really understand the client-side performance of the application."
"It would help customers if there were an on-premises version available."
