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.

A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

Cons

"I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues."
"New Relic is very slow, and the app is a bit frustrating to use, which is something that has been happening a lot in the past year. During the last six months, I have noticed that it has become extremely laggy."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."
"I haven't come across any features that are lacking."
"There are certain features that are not supported in New Relic, such as CATSEARCH, which allows you to do a full-text search."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I loved this product, but we can no longer afford it, so we dropped it."
"Pricing is better with New Relic APM than Dynatrace."
"The pricing and licensing are good if you have an account manager and a partner manager who are looking to help out."
"We spend somewhere around $5,000 to $6,000 per month with an annual recommitment of maybe $60,000. These are just ballpark figures."
"The solution is less expensive than AppNeta."
"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 think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
