Is easy to query when monitoring different parameters or time durations on the dashboard
Pros and Cons
  • "It is easier to create new dashboards in the New Relic interface, and it is also easier to query if when I want to monitor a different parameter or time duration on my dashboard."
  • "Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area."

What is our primary use case?

We are currently in the POC phase with New Relic APM and are looking at using it mainly for analytics.

We integrated the library within our backend service to see the throughput and to monitor latency. We also created a few dashboards in the New Relic dashboard section to observe the traffic and monitor how the system performs during the day.

What is most valuable?

It is easier to create new dashboards in the New Relic interface, and it is also easier to query if when I want to monitor a different parameter or time duration on my dashboard.

I like the overall monitoring and analytical features. It is a complete platform in that regard.

What needs improvement?

Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using New Relic APM for approximately four months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate New Relic's stability at eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

On a scale from one to ten, with one being low and ten being high, I would give scalability a rating of eight.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward for this solution.

What other advice do I have?

New Relic APM is a mature platform, and in terms of features and maturity, it is up there with other APMs like Datadog and a few others. Therefore, it is definitely worth considering.

Overall, I would rate New Relic at eight on a scale from one to ten.

Easy to set up with good transaction summaries and helpful reporting
Pros and Cons
  • "The pricing is pretty good."
  • "There were some settings we had issues with."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is an APM monitoring tool.

We will be monitoring all kinds of server details, including how the application is handling things and any threat count, as well as if there are any network utilization failures or problems with DNA instance ports.

What is most valuable?

The transaction summary is great. It's very helpful for reporting. 

The initial setup was not that difficult. 

It's stable.

The pricing is pretty good. 

The solution is scalable. 

What needs improvement?

There were some settings we had issues with. For example, a certain setting to change the time zone. If we change the time zone, it will take 24 hours to reflect the time zone and make the changes. It'll be great if the settings once we change them, reflect the change at least after one hour. That would be helpful so that we don't need to wait for one complete day to see the changes.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for one and a half years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is great. It's reliable. I'd rate the stability four out of five in terms of reliability. There are no bugs or glitches. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is good. I'd rate it five out of five. It is easy to expand. 

How are customer service and support?

I've never dealt with technical support. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

There were no other tools being used previously. This was the first we were recommended, and we deployed it.

How was the initial setup?

It's a straightforward setup. It's not overly difficult or complex. 

I'd rate the solution four out of five in terms of ease of setup. 

Mainly the setup was done by the box team, so they were using it for their purposes and for the log activity. I'm just part of testing team, so I'm focusing more on the reporting side. The setup was not done from my end; the DevOps team managed the process.

We have mostly one person handling the setup and it took about two to three weeks.

We have a third party that manages the maintenance. There might be four to five people maintaining everything. 

What about the implementation team?

Our own team handled the initial setup. 

What was our ROI?

I'm not sure if we've seen an ROI at this point. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I'm not aware of the exact licensing costs. My understanding is that it is affordable. I'd rate it four out of five. 

We likely py a yearly licensing fee. It's all-inclusive, and there are no extra fees. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I did not handle any evaluations on my end. I'm not sure if the company looked at other options. 

What other advice do I have?

We are customers and end-users. 

Since we're working on a cloud-based deployment, the solution is always up to date. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. It's user-friendly and has many automated features. I'd recommend the solution to others.

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case of the solution is to monitor, log, and investigate incidents.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are the dashboards and tracing.

What needs improvement?

It is complex to use and it can be improved by simplifying it by making it more user-friendly. I would like to see the option to group alert conditions added.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

The support team helped to resolve any issues I had.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is moderate. 

What other advice do I have?

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

I suggest anyone interested in using the solution should learn the query language first. It is a serious tool and requires a lot of time invested in order to understand how it works.

An excellent solution for time series and operational analyses
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is good for sending alerts, drawing graphs about system usage, and creating plug-ins."
  • "The solution is an excellent product for time series and operation analyses."
  • "The solution should include more detailed reports for SQL database requests."

What is our primary use case?

Our company uses the solution for time series analysis. 

What is most valuable?

The solution is good for sending alerts, drawing graphs about system usage, and creating plug-ins. 

What needs improvement?

The solution should include more detailed reports for SQL database requests. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable and working fine. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable and has been used for both small and big projects that scaled over time with no issues. 

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is knowledgeable, responds quickly, and provides good assistance.

I rate support a ten out of ten. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We migrated from AppNeta because the solution is more stable and cost effective. 

How was the initial setup?

The setup is easy and plug-ins can be written for any differences required. 

I rate setup a ten out of ten. 

What about the implementation team?

We implement the solution in-house for customers and offer both on-premises and cloud options. 

I prefer the on-premises option because I like to configure and set things up rather than using ready-to-go options. 

The solution does not require ongoing maintenance because it works fine and runs with no troubles. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is less expensive than AppNeta. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

There were some benefits to using AppNeta. It provided more detailed stats and graphs for hosting products. If you need more specific digitalization based on system stats, you might want to go with AppNeta. For our use cases, it was less stable and more expensive than the solution. 

What other advice do I have?

The solution is an excellent product for time series and operation analyses. It is a good and stable solution, has a good price, includes good usability features, and includes good support. 

I rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Simple to deploy and good support but needs a better dashboard
Pros and Cons
  • "It has a simple initial setup."
  • "The technical support is quite good."
  • "The browser isn't exactly reliable."
  • "There is no proper management of roles and divisions; if I develop a dashboard for myself, everyone else has access to it, and you just add someone to the platform and he gets access to all the dashboards."

What is most valuable?

The APM is great.

The solution can scale well. 

We've found support to be helpful.

It has a simple initial setup. 

What needs improvement?

The browser isn't exactly reliable. 

There are dashboard issues that need to be dealt with. 

There's no proper management of roles and divisions. For example, let's say if I create a dashboard and I want to give access only to a set of people and not to the other set of people, I can't do that, and that's where it has a lot of problems. If I develop a dashboard for myself, everyone else has an access to it. There's no proper access management. You just add someone to the platform, he gets access to all the dashboards. Yet there should be proper division of people who need to have access to a certain dashboard. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

While the APM is stable, the browser itself isn't too reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's a scalable, reliable solution. 

We have 30 to 40 people working on the solution generally.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is quite good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The solution is very simple to set up. I'd rate the entire implementation and deployment experience a five out of five. 

What was our ROI?

I've not witnessed any ROI. That's beyond my scope. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I'm not aware of the exact licensing cost. The contracts are handled at an organizational level. 

What other advice do I have?

We have a partnership with New Relic.

I'd advise potential new users to go through the docs first. They have very good documentation. Anybody who's going to start should first start with reading the documentation in order to get a good understanding of the product.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. I'd rate it higher if the browser rate was more reliable.

A stable solution that provides good UI monitoring functionality
Pros and Cons
  • "We appreciate the way that this solution allows us to monitor the ongoing status of the UI at any given time."
  • "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 UI's performance, and then report on it."

What is our primary use case?

We use this solution to provide insight into how the UI is performing.

What is most valuable?

We appreciate the way that this solution allows us to monitor the ongoing status of the UI at any given time.

What needs improvement?

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.

We would also like the solution to increase the details that are provided when there are system abnormalities.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have found this to be an overall stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have found the cloud-based version of this product to be scalable.

How are customer service and support?

We use an in-house support team for this solution. They are our first-line contact point to resolve any issues that arise on a day-to-day basis.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were previously using a different, comparable solution. However, we decided to switch to this product as it provided lower response times.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Great features with simple browser implementation and provides access from anywhere
Pros and Cons
  • "It allows the restriction of privileges and control of users."
  • "We have never faced any issues with this solution, and we are not worried about the technical capability."
  • "The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."

What is our primary use case?

We have both the mobile and web applications which use the APIs in the back end. The New Relic Browser also monitors all our review servers and has mobile and browser compatibility. Most of our stakeholders view the data on mobile and don't need to open their laptops.

Stakeholders can install New Relic on a mobile device, whether iOS or Android and monitor the enrolment. It is more compatible with the mobile device, but we can view it on the web browser, and the same features are supported for both. In addition, stakeholders can access the system 24-7 and can monitor it from anywhere, anytime.

What is most valuable?

We can view the system in one view, showing the utilization and server activity. It lets us tell if our server utilization is high, conduct a memories review, and view it in one dashboard.

What needs improvement?

The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises. Therefore, they should assess supporting the licensing on-premises as well.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability is good, and we had no challenges while accessing the New Relic system from the browser.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is good, and there are no limitations. Once we add our users to our account, they can access it anywhere in the browser. We have never experienced any technical problems.

We have more than 30 users that are already configured in our system. The pricing depends on the number of users we have, and we currently have only about five or ten active users out of the 30. Only our operations team typically accesses the browser.

We have four to five people who maintain and manage the day-to-day operations. They have other tasks at the company and are not dedicated solely to the maintenance of this solution. They monitor how the servers are performing and get alerts to their emails.

How are customer service and support?

New Relic technical support is good whenever we raise a ticket. They reply and provide knowledge sharing for new features. For example, before the COVID-19 pandemic, they would come into our office and share knowledge with all the operational and delivery teams and others using the New Relic system. Their support and contributions are good whenever we need them.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward and didn't require much work on the browser configuration. The user administration is also good if there is an existing New Relic account. It allows the restriction of privileges and control of users accessing complete information. In addition, it provides for a bucket of developers, stakeholders and operations and restrictions of certain access to view dashboards or features.

Browser implementation is also simple when an account and servers are added to the New Relic system. Those servers are automatically reflected on the New Relic account, and we don't need to do much. It is straightforward, and once we configure the agent, all our servers are under our account.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is a bit high, but the features are very good. It costs about 1500 per month, but historical information was something we had to buy at an additional cost. Other than that, the rest of the capabilities and features are bundled in one package.

What other advice do I have?

I rate this solution a nine out of ten. We have never faced any issues with this solution, and we are not worried about the technical capability. If we have a team that understands the system and the new capabilities, it can be used effectively.
