We performed a comparison between New Relic and SolarWinds AppOptics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We like the performance of the product."
"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 most valuable feature is the ability to receive in-depth information about applications. It can detect a lot of important information."
"It has prevented failures from occurring in our production environment."
"It does everything we wanted it to do."
"The versatility of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"We appreciate the way that this solution allows us to monitor the ongoing status of the UI at any given time."
"The most important thing is that it tells us where the latency in throughput and response time are."
"The reporting of the solution is very good."
"The product has a great dashboard."
"I have found the most valuable feature is application performance management."
"Technical support is always live and they're supportive."
"The sum solution, NTA, and DPA."
"Some of the most valuable features of SolarWinds are the topology discovery and network performance analysis."
"The connectivity between legacy and newer cloud applications is not great."
"The customization of the start and end time is kind of cool."
"Data Dog captures the entire session and then provides it as a video player path, which gives more insight into what the user was doing. It's pretty impressive. New Relic does that, yet it only captures using a couple of screenshots, which is not very detailed since you are unable to see the entire user flow."
"They should bring the pricing down to be more competitive."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"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."
"I would like an infrastructure network that provides real-time views, showing the issues."
"Real-user monitoring would be helpful as it would help me to really understand the client-side performance of the application."
"In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products."
"I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward."
"The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models."
"AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view."
