Featured Reviews

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.

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 quite stable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage the application flow."
"Using New Relic speeds up troubleshooting and resolution, giving us a clearer picture of where issues are, thus saving time and effort."
"The solution is good for sending alerts, drawing graphs about system usage, and creating plug-ins."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of New Relic is its ease of use."
"New Relic's dashboard is nice, and it's reliable. It's also compatible with many services, especially Java and the Python ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature is application monitoring."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."

"It's scalable."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."

Cons

"In the next release, I'd like to see a better pricing structure."
"The connectivity between legacy and newer cloud applications is not great."
"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."
"I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues."
"There are certain features that are not supported in New Relic, such as CATSEARCH, which allows you to do a full-text search."
"They should bring the pricing down to be more competitive."
"Some of our customers see New Relic as a promising product to have, and we would like to deliver it to them. The only way we would be able to do that would be if we had server appliance for clients that we could install in their data centres."
"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."
"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution could be less expensive. You have to pay a lot for each user. There is an additional cost for extra features."
"The pricing model is a little confusing for beginners. They find it a little expensive, and if you are using it already, then that is not good."
"The new licensing model is great, as we pay for what we use (in computational units). However, the pricing is expensive compared to other tools."
"The price depends on how many agents you want."
"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."
"The pricing and licensing are too high."
"Because of budget, we are not using the mobile app part of this tool."
"The solution is cheap, but prices can go up when users grow."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
