We performed a comparison between New Relic and vRealize Network Insight 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 most valuable feature of New Relic APM is the dashboard, New Relic Insights. I configured my own dashboard to monitor certain parameters."
"It has prevented failures from occurring in our production environment."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"The stability of New Relic APM is very good."
"The service maps that it creates, the health maps that it creates, the insights that it provides, etc., are all quite useful."
"What I like best about New Relic APM is its user interface because it's simple. The most valuable feature of New Relic APM is end-to-end monitoring."
"The solution is scalable, and it is easy because all the documentation is available."
"It provides deep visibility into what is happening with traffic and helps us manage our network."
"The ability to use the natural language query and see the visualization is quickly intuitive, and it works very well."
"We can see everything going on in NSX and get a good picture of our environment."
"It gives the visibility that was either broken or there in pieces only. This solution provides a unified view of the whole system, back and forth. It has helped to reduce time to value, increase performance, more easily manage networks, and provide deep visibility."
"We haven't had any complaints about the stability of the solution or heard of any issues. None of our clients have mentioned running into bugs or glitches. There haven't been crashes."
"The most valuable feature for me is the different views that you can get when selecting an application or a VLAN. It shows you the traffic flows. It gives you a visual representation of something that, in text, just may not make as much sense."
"vRNI can trace the flow of each and every packet and it is easy for us to troubleshoot all the issues that we do have with the networking. We can trace down the packet to a point where it has been dropped."
"It's a very powerful, very manageable product."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It is complicated, especially in how you interpret the data that it provides. If it had a bit more canned, out-of-the-box features, especially some of the reporting features, that would be more useful."
"The solution must provide better support for Azure Web Apps service."
"Real-user monitoring would be helpful as it would help me to really understand the client-side performance of the application."
"I would like a feature where I can turn off alerting at a policy level. Thus, when a policy is inactive, I can shut down all of my alerts within the policy."
"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."
"It is very difficult to award the service level cycles at an endpoint level."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."
"I would like to see more interoperability on the firewall and low balancer sides."
"vRNI needs more remediation where it hooks into NSX."
"I would like to see application identification. That would be cool."
"I want to be able to monitor a network flow that is approximately two weeks back, but I haven't found an easy way to do this."
"The IT infrastructure industry is expected to evolve towards a hybrid cloud model in the next five to ten years. In this model, most of the customer's resources reside on-premise within a private cloud setup, such as VMware. Another segment operates within public cloud environments like Azure and AWS, and a portion remains in traditional data centers. There should be seamless interoperability between public and private clouds. AWS and VMware need to work together to make it possible. Whether users interact with on-premise infrastructure or configure resources in the public cloud, the user experience must be seamless."
"I would like to see them expand the capabilities to infrastructure types other than just VMware."
"I want to see more in terms of microsegmentation. As of now, I can see the rules, but they are not in a readable format that I can convert to microsegmentation and can fit into NSX Manager."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to pricing because we pay here in Brazil, and all the costs are based on the dollar."
