PR
Provides centralized data observability features and has an easy-to-use user interface.
The product's initial setup is in a daily improvement stage, deploying new plugins for upstream and downstream resources. It takes 25 minutes to complete. The process involves integrating with third-party services for Single Sign-On (SSO). It requires only one executive for maintenance as it has easy-to-use navigation and user interface.
Iqbal Khowaja - PeerSpot reviewer
Has a simple user interface and end-to-end monitoring and self-healing features
My organization uses many application performance management solutions, such as AppDynamics, New Relic APM, Splunk, and Datadog. I'm the CTO for the state of Hawaii, and across the board, different departments use different APM tools. I'm using the latest version of New Relic APM, but I cannot recall the exact version. My company has a dozen engineers using and monitoring New Relic APM. I'd tell anyone planning to use New Relic APM that it has to fit what you have. For example, most of my company's payload is in AWS, and the tool has adopters and features that CloudWatch cannot provide. Still, New Relic APM can, so you should do a demo or trial run first and see if it's a tool that'll help you with end-to-end monitoring. New Relic APM is working well for my company, so an excellent way to start is to do a trial run to see how the tool works out for your current applications. My rating for the tool is nine out of ten because my experience with it has been great. New Relic also worked closely with my company and has always been upfront on what's available and what's not. My company is a New Relic APM customer.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It makes organizing work easier based on its relevance to specific projects and teams."
"We like the performance of the product."
"Every time there is a crisis, high traffic, or if we see a problem with a server, we go to New Relic and monitor it to determine the cause."
"The most valuable features are the dashboards and tracing."
"The versatility of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"We are able to drill down and see what is going on in the system."
"It does everything we wanted it to do."
"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."
"We detect issues using dashboards that we built on New Relic."
 

Cons

"For anomaly detection, the product provides only the last three weeks of data, while some competitors can analyze a more extended data history."
"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."
"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."
"One of the things that our enterprise actually had a challenge with was the licensing structure for New Relic."
"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."
"The connectivity between legacy and newer cloud applications is not great."
"The product has good documentation for Linux, however, their documentation for Windows is lacking substantially. It's something they need to develop."
"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."
"I think that there have been some questionable product enhancements. Over a year ago, New Relic rolled out a new navigation that really disrupted our workflow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has moderate pricing."
"New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
"The price of New Relic could improve. It is expensive."
"The solution is less expensive than AppNeta."
"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."
"This is an expensive product."
"The price was one of the reasons we chose this solution."
"It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, and I believe that it is a competitively-priced tool."
