Find out what your peers are saying about Dynatrace, New Relic, AppDynamics and others in Mobile APM."The most valuable features of New Relic are the reports and ease of use."
"It has helped us maintain a much higher uptime than we had previously."
"The feature I found most valuable is being able to design my queries. It's easy to design a query."
"We appreciate the way that this solution allows us to monitor the ongoing status of the UI at any given time."
"We use it for monitoring, identifying when services go down, or when they are outside of what we would consider normal operations."
"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 most valuable features are infrastructure monitoring and application performance monitoring (APM)."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It is easy to track and easy to follow."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"At a glance I can easily see what is going on with all of my VMware environments, including top consumers of resources."
"Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics"
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"New Relic needs to improve is the user data schema."
"The connectivity between legacy and newer cloud applications is not great."
"Documentation could be improved in New Relic APM, so users would have more clarity on configuring the dashboard. If New Relic gave better guidelines, users would find it easier to understand the metrics and features of New Relic APM. Another area for improvement is integration with Kubernetes. Currently, the process isn't user-friendly. It's challenging and lacks documentation for users to understand how to integrate New Relic APM with Kubernetes quickly. With multiple levels of Kubernetes dockers and other DBs on different clouds, it's tricky to gather all into New Relic APM on a single dashboard. What I'd like to see in the next version of New Relic APM is a single dashboard where you can easily view which applications fall under specific APMs. If there's a search feature where you can type in a keyword to find out if an APM is related to a particular application, that would be great."
"Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area."
"They don't have an opportunity to share the dashboard with the public. If you want to share it with stakeholders or people outside the organization who just want to have a look at a couple of metrics, you can't do that without onboarding them to the product itself."
"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."
"I would like if it could have predictive analysis. Today, we only have the option to configure thresholds."
"They could improve the education process and how people understand that these tools are very technical. Right now, if someone was to pick it up from day one, it is a very steep learning curve."
"SQL agents often failed but again this may have been addressed in future versions."
"Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful."
"We are running a Webmethods stack (Software AG) and Foglight is unable to instrument. We are in a POC with Dynatrace and it was able to instrument with little effort."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
"My only complaint from Foglight for monitoring is that you only get a plot for five minute average for metrics like CPU and Memory, on the application side I can see metrics more quickly at 15 seconds for metrics like active sessions, heap. I would like to see the same for CPU and memory."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
