Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Enables dynamic injections from within the product which is great."
"The most valuable feature is the solutions overall performance. It is very efficient and accurate for our usage."
"It has the ability to monitor random URLs not tied to the one pinger per application (though it costs extra)."
"The most valuable feature is application monitoring."
"New features are added often."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"Their technical support is pretty good and responsive. We have a real good relationship with them."
"The solution is scalable, and it is easy because all the documentation is available."
"The solution is good for sending alerts, drawing graphs about system usage, and creating plug-ins."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to receive in-depth information about applications. It can detect a lot of important information."
"In the next release, I would like to see the possibility of sharing the metric from this solution with other solutions."
"The end-to-end distributor tracing connectivity isn't there."
"They should bring the pricing down to be more competitive."
"We have had issues with our agents going offline."
"They don't have an opportunity to share the dashboard with the public. If you want to share it with stakeholders or people outside the organization who just want to have a look at a couple of metrics, you can't do that without onboarding them to the product itself."
"One thing I'd like to see in any APM, especially New Relic, is the ability to use distributed transactions. When one microservice calls another, it calls another database and microservice. The entire data visualization layer will not be able to correlate from one microservice from end to end and return on that path. Distributed transactions would be a great addition that would make life simpler. Unfortunately, no APM has that end-to-end capability."
"The customization of the start and end time is kind of cool."
"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."
"Documentation could be improved in New Relic APM, so users would have more clarity on configuring the dashboard. If New Relic gave better guidelines, users would find it easier to understand the metrics and features of New Relic APM. Another area for improvement is integration with Kubernetes. Currently, the process isn't user-friendly. It's challenging and lacks documentation for users to understand how to integrate New Relic APM with Kubernetes quickly. With multiple levels of Kubernetes dockers and other DBs on different clouds, it's tricky to gather all into New Relic APM on a single dashboard. What I'd like to see in the next version of New Relic APM is a single dashboard where you can easily view which applications fall under specific APMs. If there's a search feature where you can type in a keyword to find out if an APM is related to a particular application, that would be great."
"The solution should include more detailed reports for SQL database requests."
