We performed a comparison between New Relic and Alluvio Aternity based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Ease of Deployment: New Relic's setup is easy to follow, but may be time-consuming if there are many devices. Alluvio Aternity, on the other hand, is more user-friendly and requires minimal configuration. Aternity's deployment process is relatively quick with the help of one engineer, and maintenance is practically non-existent.
Features: New Relic has a focus on in-depth application information, scalability, and traceability, with synthetic alerts and transparent pricing. Alluvio Aternity, on the other hand, specializes in providing data on machine health and performance, with unique features like DXI for customization and UXI score for measuring user experience.
Pricing: New Relic's cost is a worry for some users due to monthly or yearly licenses and extra charges for added features or data ingestion. Alluvio Aternity's pricing is a mixed bag, with some finding it worthwhile while others believe it to be pricier than other options. However, Aternity's analytics may have a positive effect on IT budgets and increase efficiency.
Service and Support: Despite positive feedback on documentation, New Relic's team has delays when resolving issues. On the other hand, Alluvio Aternity is praised for its highly competent and responsive support, with a dedicated technical team that successfully resolves issues. Assistance is available both locally and overseas.
ROI: New Relic has demonstrated varying levels of success in generating ROI for its users. On the other hand, Alluvio Aternity's ROI is challenging to quantify as it is focused on the expense side of the business.
Comparison Results: New Relic is the preferred solution in this comparison. New Relic offers more versatile features, accurate alert mechanisms, and in-depth application information. Alluvio Aternity provides valuable data on machine health and performance, but lacks detailed performance counters and database monitoring capabilities.
"Being able to proactively identify issues on user systems."
"As a financial institution, we have a lot of applications that are either written internally or bought from a vendor and customized for us. Having a tool that lets us monitor specific transactions in those applications allows us to focus on the transactions that are important to the business."
"Alluvio Aternity is stable."
"There are also built-in activities that let you measure things like preview mail, open address book, and send mail. Those are the activities that we are able to get measurements on, and those are things we have not seen in other software monitoring tools."
"The most valuable feature of Alluvio Aternity is the compiling and displaying of end-user data so that we can utilize it to troubleshoot proactively."
"The most valuable thing that you get from Aternity is very broad visibility. You get visibility of your network, of your endpoints, of your software usage, your application performance, capacity, in one pane of glass. We had 20 to 30 IT tools, including application performance monitoring, network monitoring, security, endpoint detection, network protection, capacity management, service management — every kind of monitoring you can imagine. But Aternity was always the first place that I turned for anything, because you can see everything in it."
"The infrastructure data, especially the CPU and memory data, is per second, which makes it outstanding as compared to other solutions. Its licensing cost is very low for us."
"The most valuable features for us are the Incident Management dashboard, Application Status dashboard, and Activity Analysis UI."
"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."
"The VPN is one of the solution's most valuable features for us."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"The most valuable features are the dashboards and tracing."
"The synthetics, alerts, and native inbuilt capabilities for monitoring the cloud with the New Relic agents have been helpful."
"The most important thing is that it tells us where the latency in throughput and response time are."
"We are able to drill down and see what is going on in the system."
"Their technical support is pretty good and responsive. We have a real good relationship with them."
"I think the workflow needs improvement"
"The solution's downloadable reports could be improved."
"Reports were a lot easier in the older versions"
"We are waiting for the GA release of their agent. I hope they can do better when they release their endpoint agents. Right now, we are not able to measure some applications, core applications, because it's relying on a specific version of the agent and that agent has not come out yet and there's no ETA. I would like to see them speed up time to market when they release agents."
"I would like Alluvio Aternity to be certified by the IRAP for petrol companies in Australia."
"I would like to get more granular detail. In regards to defining the applications and activities upfront, that can be challenging. Simplifying that would be a big win. One of the things that I know they are already working on is a verbose mode."
"Their technical support should be improved in terms of response time. Its stability should also be better. We are currently using version 10, and its stability is not so high. The server crashes from time to time and needs to be restarted. Sometimes, you also have problems with applications."
"When it comes to a lot of the features that I would want, they will tell you they are in their SaaS version, which we don't use... They put all the new features on the SaaS solution and that's where you get the latest and greatest stuff... Why not have those features available for on-prem users?"
"The initial setup can be made easier. Like Mixpanel, New Relic can also have a step-by-step guide for the setup process."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment needs improvement on the filtering part. I would like it to go more granular on accounts."
"The solution must provide better support for Azure Web Apps service."
"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."
"New Relic needs to improve is the user data schema."
"The scalability can be improved."
"I would like to see the company implement the AI auto-baseline feature which Dynatrace has."
"They should bring the pricing down to be more competitive."
