We performed a comparison between New Relic and Nmap based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The most valuable feature is application monitoring."
"The alert mechanism is quite accurate when something goes wrong in your system. For example, if you have hundreds of APIs on your server, and any of the APIs is not performing well, you get an alert. When there is a drop or change in the threshold value, the beauty of New Relic is that within a fraction of seconds, all the stakeholders who are configured in the New Relic system will get an alert. That's one good thing."
"It is a one stop shop and integrated with PagerDuty seamlessly. The solution is pretty self-contained."
"The most valuable features are infrastructure monitoring and application performance monitoring (APM)."
"The feature I found most valuable is being able to design my queries. It's easy to design a query."
"Working with the solution is very easy. It's user-friendly."
"The simplicity of the dashboard is very good."
"The most important function, according to me, is the capability to use some arguments in the scanning. The solution's capability to go figure and do a deep dive, discovering information on specific aspects."
"It helps us secure the network infrastructure."
"The best feature of Nmap is that it lets me see useful information about each endpoint in my entire network environment. For example, I can see every single connection of the network as well as each and every port."
"Nmap has a powerful command line tool and a set of diagnostic features."
"The initial setup was simple."
"Nmap is easy to use. It's a command-line interface, and the output is quite good."
"Nmap's performance is great, and I've never noticed any issues in this respect. It really doesn't put a heavy load on the machine when using it."
"It enables us to delve deeper and identify the services and open ports on the system and visualize this information on a dashboard automatically."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It would be nice if there were pre-made dashboards."
"In addition, its difficult to have a predictive tool to see how the application would behave in the future when it basically only shows the historical data."
"New Relic APM can improve the information when we dig deeper to check a problem. There should be more detailed information provided."
"There are certain features that are not supported in New Relic, such as CATSEARCH, which allows you to do a full-text search."
"There has been some problem with the agent, and it is just not working well. It is not able to record information with the application server. They have been able to fix the issue, but it took quite a long time. This is the main issue in the APM products and also in New Relic. The mobile application monitoring has been pretty difficult to set up and also quite expensive. It should be a little bit easier and cheaper. Because it is pretty difficult and expensive, many customers don't take it."
"There were some settings we had issues with."
"New Relic APM could improve error debugging and the correlation with the logs. We are receiving some alerts or alarms but we need to correlate with the error log, but it is difficult if it is more than seven months retention period, it is hard to trace. We need this especially for getting historical information."
"The solution must provide better support for Azure Web Apps service."
"Since I started using Nmap, it has been completely based on the command prompt and I think it would help other users if they implemented a decent GUI as well."
"Nmap major operates through the CLI; there's no GUI component, and that's where the challenge is."
"One of the drawbacks of the standard Nmap utility is that it does not come with a graphical user interface, unlike a number of other open-source alternatives such as Zenmap."
"They should deliver Playtech's username and password."
"Customization is not very user-friendly in Nmap."
"Nmap needs to improve its scanning speed."
"The solution should increase the number of features under a free license."
"The challenge often lies in finding suitable courses and professional resources."
