"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."

"I would like an infrastructure network that provides real-time views, showing the issues."
"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."
