Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is scalable, and it is easy because all the documentation is available.""The most valuable feature is the New Relic APM module to deep-dive into the application, to get bottlenecks to the surface, and to improve application performance. Also, the New Relic Insights module creates a real-time dashboard on application performance to create awareness for the DevOps team.""We use it for monitoring, identifying when services go down, or when they are outside of what we would consider normal operations.""The most valuable features are the dashboards and tracing.""There are many valuable features in New Relic APM. We developed some software applications and we are able to monitor the errors very easily. Their log security retention is very good.""It is a one stop shop and integrated with PagerDuty seamlessly. The solution is pretty self-contained.""The VPN is one of the solution's most valuable features for us.""The pricing is pretty good."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation.""The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages.""Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred.""VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process.""The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation."

Cons
"The customization of the start and end time is kind of cool.""The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure.""Real-user monitoring would be helpful as it would help me to really understand the client-side performance of the application.""We would like a dashboard feature to be created for this product. This would allow us to monitor both the front and back-end of our UIs performance, and then report on it.""The product has good documentation for Linux, however, their documentation for Windows is lacking substantially. It's something they need to develop.""I would like to see the company implement the AI auto-baseline feature which Dynatrace has.""The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises.""The solution is quite expensive."

More New Relic Cons →

"Should have more YouTube webinars.""The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use.""The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions.""At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap.""There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
  • "The monthly cost os $1000 per server per month, but it could be even more. We pay about $250 for the server, and then New Relic wants over $1000 to give us statistics on those servers."
  • "Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
  • "It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
  • "If it’s the right tool, it doesn’t matter what it costs because you’re going to get it back many-fold from your productivity."
  • "I recommend using the free version of New Relic. If you like the free version and understand its importance for your company, you can move to the trial. Then, you can migrate to the paid version."
  • "There is a picture which goes to your browser and it monitors requests from other users. However, it's impossible to use now because the price is very high. The feature is very nice, but I tried it during the trial period, and the current price makes it impossible to use."
  • "They gave us aggressive discounts when they were brought in for the first time, but they have also kept them for the year-on-year renewals, which has been absolutely fine."
