We performed a comparison between ExtraHop Reveal(x) for IT Operations and New Relic 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 is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."
"Wire data analytics."
"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."
"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."
"This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."
"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."
"The versatility of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"It has a simple initial setup."
"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."
"As soon as it monitors all our systems and is integrated with PagerDuty, the operations team just needs to wait for alerts on their cellphones to fix things."
"The most valuable features of New Relic are the reports and ease of use."
"You don't have to go through a list of 500 servers."
"It allows the restriction of privileges and control of users."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."
"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."
"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."
"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."
"One thing I'd like to see in any APM, especially New Relic, is the ability to use distributed transactions. When one microservice calls another, it calls another database and microservice. The entire data visualization layer will not be able to correlate from one microservice from end to end and return on that path. Distributed transactions would be a great addition that would make life simpler. Unfortunately, no APM has that end-to-end capability."
"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."
"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 the ability to set up certain dummy accounts and do the actual things that the customer is doing, without impacting the production environment."
"Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area."
"There are times when you restart the engines and the servers have a unique ID for the host and you need to remove the server. It is difficult because some are on-premise and others are production hosts. Having downtime is not very good when updating. However, it is not a constant issue."
"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."
