New Relic

Seamless APM Setup and Heroku Integration

Commenti: I went from having no APM solution to having a full-fledged monitoring system in mere minutes. New Relic's streamlined setup process and Heroku integration allowed me to start monitoring and optimizing my application's performance almost instantly. I mean, seriously, you can't beat that kind of efficiency.

Aspetti positivi:

Setting up New Relic for my application was a walk in the park. With just a few clicks and some configuration, I was able to get the APM goodness flowing. And the integration with Heroku? Oh boy, it couldn't have been smoother. New Relic and Heroku make a dream team, providing valuable insights into application performance without any hassle or headache.

Aspetti negativi:

let's talk about the UI. It's functional, no doubt, but it could use a bit of a facelift to enhance the user experience. A simpler and more intuitive interface would make navigating through the various monitoring features a joy. New Relic, take note: a clean and user-friendly UI can go a long way in keeping us users engaged and productive.

A Great Observability platform

Aspetti positivi:

We set up New Relic as we needed a observability platform that we could use to Troubleshoot infrastructure, view logs and use the synthetics to monitor our website's performance and availability.after going through a POC trial of using the tool we were very happy with the results and decided to do a 2 year deal with New Relic as it will help with our introduction and roll out of microservices.

Aspetti negativi:

Some of the UI could be improved compared to the competitors to display information. Also the synthetics editors on other sites are slightly better with the ability to record what you want the synthetic to do rather than writing all the code yourself.

UI/UX and Pricing models have improved but deployment is a nightmare

Commenti: We had evaluated NewRelic several years ago but the product was too complex and unstable. At the time, pricing had also became very complex and it was hard to predict how much you would pay. We were excited to give it another try, and were happily surprised by the improvements, both in terms of pricing transparency and UI/UX (only if you use the "new" design though). However, once we started the deployment, and despite the fact we were having a very simple infrastructure (Linux + PHP + MySQL + Node), it became a nightmare. The agent installation was buggy, multiple services were not discovered properly. We had to install the MySQL agent manually, and the step-by-step guide was outdated. After a successful installation, we still did not receive any MySQL-related data. After all these headaches, we decided to part ways with NewRelic, but then discovered you cannot actually close your account online. Instead, you have to go through a knowledge-base, and kindly ask assistance from a moderator (e.g. you don't even have access to a Support ticket system). Our understanding is that NewRelic did their best to revamp their product but they are suffering from 10 years of product additions/modifications and most likely the only way to resolve that would be for them to start a brand new product from scratch or acquire a smaller player in the space who gets it.

Aspetti positivi:

- Clearer and unified pricing, easier to understand than other platforms - "Clean" UI if you use their new design

Aspetti negativi:

- Deployment was a total nightmare - Documentation is not up-to-date - Can't close your Account nor reach out to Support to do so - Uninstall guide is incomplete and actually messed up with our systems

Great tool for tracking the performance and health of our platform

Commenti: I am using the web interface and the app multiple times a day to quickly see how the application is performing. The notifications in case of disruptions are convenient and very helpful.

Aspetti positivi:

It's clean and simple to setup and gives a great dashboard which helps get a quick overview of the performance of our SaaS application.

Aspetti negativi:

When using multiple modules on a bigger infrastructure it can get quite expensive. However we only use the basic version which gives us all the info we need.

New Relic Offers Simple-to-Set-Up Server Monitoring

Commenti: New Relic is a great product/service that is extremely powerful and easy to use. They even have iOS/Android apps to stay up-to-date on server stats while away from your desk.

Aspetti positivi:

I love how easy it was to get the New Relic agent installed on my Digital Ocean server. Within minutes it was piping in data to their dashboard.

Aspetti negativi:

Making sense of the mountain of data is challenging. It takes time and effort to figure out what all the data means and how it can be useful to your organization. It is well worth the effort though.

Best full stack observability tool

Commenti: One of the best tool I have came across.

Aspetti positivi:

Aspetti negativi:

Limited Free PlanData Retention PoliciesSupport Response TimesIntegration Limitations

Stack Monitoring Made Easy

Aspetti positivi:

New Relic provides me an easy way to monitor my entire stack from the backend to the frontend websites. This way, I can know if there are any bugs or services which can be optimized.

Aspetti negativi:

The setup deployment was quite confusing at start, since I have to use a lot of custom configurations and try around a bit.

New Relic An Observability Tool

Aspetti positivi:

Some services like APM, Browser Monitoring ,Alerts and AI are some services which I really like about the New Relic.

Aspetti negativi:

That it is costly and New Relic's documentation is not up to date.

One Stop Server/App/Website/etc Monitoring

Aspetti positivi:

I love this product! I have always had the free tier and it has so much many features. I don't know how they do so much for the free tier. I use the realtime app monitoring (APM) the most, to see current traffic as well as checking for slow apis and why they are slow. The second most used tool is to monitor my actual server (Host). Then of course I can't forget the essential and anxiety removing notification system that will tell me as soon as whatever I don't want to happen and set up an alert for, happens. This has saved me and my customers a few times already. Thank you for a great product! :)

Aspetti negativi:

I would love to upgrade to the paid version, but, so far, it is too expensive. I wish there were a starter tier, or even a supporter/love your product tier.

Good tool to monitor your application and it's performance

Commenti: We're using NewRelic to monitor our application's performance. It's a great tool and it provides plenty of features in a free version as well but if your application is big you might need an upgrade.

Aspetti positivi:

The best thing about this software is that it provides really good deep insights. They provide a feature called 'VM' it provides information regarding garbage collection, heap, memory allocations, object allocations etc. Error insights and alerts helps you to stay updated with what is currently happening with your application. Their app is also good which provide same features. So, even if you're travelling you can get insights directly on your phone. Appdex score, RPM and other parameters really help in finding bottlenecks and optimising it. It also tells which database query is taking more time and which is taking the least & which part of your application is taking more time which actually helps you in building an efficient application.

Aspetti negativi:

Sometimes, the metrics they provide in the VM section seems incorrect, although hard refreshing the page solves this problem.

Good Observability Tool

Commenti: NewRelic is a market leader in providing Alerting and monitoring of business critical servers in the Cloud.

Aspetti positivi:

- Clearly understandable alerting and metrics rules - Alerts can be set using specific query language called NRQL - Easy integration with messaging tools like Splunk and paging tools like OpsGenie.

Aspetti negativi:

- Log aggregation capabilities were not very enhanced.

Best tool for APM , browser , mobile , synthetic and infrastructure monitoring

Commenti: Amazing experience and great tool for any large enterprise to monitor their applications in one place and identify any anomaly without delay

Aspetti positivi:

New relic provides good KPIs 1) 4xx , 5xx and response time in application 2) CPU and memory usage in infrastructure 3) Mobile app crash and http error rate4) Browser performance metrics5) synthetic test availability

Aspetti negativi:

It can improve more on distributed tracing

Best Application monitoring tool around !!

Aspetti positivi:

Ease of use is the best feature about this tool, you can get started with very minimal training. Dashboarding perfromance report capability is also good, helps us to keep on top of our applications perfromance. Another feature that we love is the integration with Jira which enabled auto-creating of tickets on violation of certain thresholds. Overall, this is used by developer community on daily basis.

Aspetti negativi:

The licensing is per node, whcih makes it expensive to turn it on non-prod infra. I hope this changes in future.

Nice monitoring tool with extensive analysis options.

Aspetti positivi:

It is possible to do a in depth analysis in case of a performance problem in our software. This saves us time and we are able to deliver the solution to our users faster. Afterwards we can monitor based on data if the solution actually works.

Aspetti negativi:

Pretty steap pricing model if you want your developers to use most of the features.

An Admins Dream

Aspetti positivi:

The easy to use interface is one of my favorite parts, especially from administrators point of view. -From the user page, you can quickly see who has or has not accepted an invitation (those who haven't have their email *starred-out*). -On that same screen, you can see when someone was last active and understand who is/isn't utilizing the tool regularly. -Creating "teams"/"projects" in incredibly simple. -When adding new users, you see a capabilities preview which is AWESOME (and keeps me from making mistakes).

Aspetti negativi:

When looking at the definitions for ad-on roles, I wish they had a hover feature instead of having to click on a link that opens a new window. Not a huge complaint but it would be nice if it was all on one screen to keep from switching back and forth.

New Relic Review

Aspetti positivi:

Perfect for staying on top of your software and monitoring everything going on with your application and code. Easy setup with AWS, alerts if ever major errors, and logs all errors to specific areas of your codebase.

Aspetti negativi:

User permissions were a bit of an issue for us for a little while but we ended up resolving. Setup was easy for the most part, but it still took a little more time than expected.

Simple and intuitive tool with necessary insights for any application

Aspetti positivi:

Gives simple and detailed performance insights for each part of your application or environment and that too in real-time! Great that it highlights errors and issues down to the line number in the code. Makes the job really simple to troubleshoot and fix issues. Setting up timely email to get updates about the performance is a good feature for managers to have.

Aspetti negativi:

The paid version is too expensive for a medium scale startup like us. It may be worthwhile when looking to scale things up to a great extent. Also the tool may be overwhelming for a new user since it provides loads of information at once. For the free user there's no one to give an onboarding tour or a demo, so that may turn off some new joinees.

New Relic review

Commenti: excellent

Aspetti positivi:

Best tool to monitor various application and server performance . They also provide a good support. Monitoring application performance on various parameters are easy and well elaborated

Aspetti negativi:

Nothing much to say. but it can have a more user friendly interface

An excellant APM tool for monitoring your web based product

Commenti: New Relic has really helped us come a long way in improving our products performance. Its APM features, Creative Dashboards, Browser data, Insights etc. are a great way to keep tab on your products performance and also, keeps you motivated to improve the performance.

Aspetti positivi:

Excellent on stop tool to monitor your application performance monitoring.

Aspetti negativi:

There is no easy way to tie up the browser traces to the corresponding APM trace or transaction

Must have to any dev team

Commenti: I love it! Really useful and a must have to any team

Aspetti positivi:

Know what's happening on your servers, database use and external services Multiple options to reach every need you have

Aspetti negativi:

Can be a little hard to configure Not so simple UX

Peace of mind for your production environment.

Commenti: New Relic gives us the ability to monitor both our cloud servers, backend services and frontend applications. It alerts us when resources are scarce or when the application reaches a treshold of errors. As a bonus for paid accounts, you also get the ability to trace down into the code to see if there is a specific bottleneck in your application. It even has the ability to trace the queries to databases or external services.
It's alerting system can be integrated in a variety of other tools like Slack, pagerduty, Geckoboard, ...
By using New Relic, we have regained peace of mind because we know New Relic will alert us before things start to go wrong.
If you are looking for a monitoring / alerting solution, it's definitely worth checking out!

Aspetti positivi:

Application traces. Transaction level monitoring and alerting. Availability monitoring. Integration in other tools (Geckoboard).

Aspetti negativi:

None so far.

Can't live without it

Commenti: New Relic provides much-needed visibility and monitoring for our application's performance. With a ton of insights into how the elements of our application interact, New Relic has helped us tune the experience for our users and identify potentially disastrous issues before they become problems. Pricing is can be a challenge, though. If you have a highly distributed server model, their per-server pricing can be prohibitive. As long you fit in their model, it really can save your hide and help your business.

Aspetti positivi:

New Relic is a critical part of our infrastructure and has saved our hide on several occasions. Very flexible Easy to get started and use Basic server monitoring is included with application monitoring - really nice Tons of integrations If you have a problem, you will get support - it may take a while to find the right person, but you can even talk to the engineers who built the part of their service you are using.

Aspetti negativi:

We've had a ton of reps we've dealt with - very little continuity Though the base features are great, it's easy to spend a LOT of extra money on other features. Sometimes it feels like one of those "free-to-play" games where you are tempted to spend money at every turn.

Watch your apps performance in realtime

Aspetti positivi:

Seamless integration with apps made in different technologies. The graphs show you whats going on with your app and server. You can profile your apps and see what part of code is taking most of the resource and fix it.

Aspetti negativi:

Ability to report custom variables. There is a lot more happening on infrastructure than new relic reports. If they provide a way to report those variables as well, it would be a perfect infrastructure monitoring app.

The essential diagnostics tool for your software

Commenti: We use this by default on almost every new web app we deploy and switch to the pro version once we're ready to optimize the performance of the app.

Aspetti positivi:

I love that it helps us debug ruby on rails software down to memory and cpu usage of specific lines of code. It helps identify bottlenecks and memory overflowing code.

Aspetti negativi:

The only drawback to this, is that it requires a very experienced team of developers to properly diagnose and understand what's going wrong with a piece of software.

Great APM software

Commenti: Got a lot of information from the service, helped the development team to optimize process based on real information obtained in real time directly from the production servers

Aspetti positivi:

Easy integration with servers, accurate data shown on dashboards. Nice interface very intuitive Tools options to narrow data and get real solutions

Aspetti negativi:

Cost per server, when using a redundant configuration over several providers, the amount can go very high
