New Relic APM Review

It gives us insight into several areas--

• Where slowdowns are,
• Which of our customers is hitting us most, and
• If there’s an application issue on the database side, how long a query takes.

It gives us enough knowledge to know where to improve things on the database side, or to make improvements in the application logic.

I don't have any suggestions for improvements, but we think sometimes it’s too difficult to get more details about a problem. Sometimes it requires too much drilling down to find out about a problem for which we shouldn't need to do so much searching.

No problems whatsoever with deploying APM.

It seems pretty stable, although there are times when it is not available.

Seems to be pretty good on scalability and it’s easy to install into our applications.

We haven’t had any issues needing to involve their technical support.

It was already in the environment when I joined, but I can't imagine that setup would have been anything but straightforward.
