New Relic announced new features across the New Relic Software Analytics Cloud. These features will provide increased visibility with more comprehensive data and analytics capabilities, to drive stronger collaboration between IT operations and development teams.
These features affect three tools in the Software Analytics Cloud: New Relic APM, New Relic Synthetics and New Relic Browser.
New Relic APM will now feature increased visibility within service maps, showing IT operations teams how a single service node’s performance impacts the entire system without leaving the Service Map.
New Relic Synthetics added five public locations and Private Locations to give customers a larger geographic footprint to run synthetic scripts. Additionally, New Relic Synthetics now also features a new REST API, which allows for the automatic updating of monitors to create a more integrated application release process.
New Relic Browser now includes New Relic’s analytics engine to create geographic filters to graphically view high-traffic areas.

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.
I find New Relic to be somewhat expensive. Our team shares logins, contrasting with other applications where individual team accounts are standard. Pricing is a primary concern since New Relic can be costly, and sometimes it can be slow when dealing with large datasets, especially during critical incidents where rapid data access is essential. Customization for some dashboards, particularly for...
