We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and New Relic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Management (APM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Data exporting is easy, and this tool works seamlessly with other solutions. It's a stable and low-priced solution."
"Provides an overview and high-level information."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Azure Monitor is useful because of the useful application insights and telemetry, such as metrics and logs."
"The most valuable features of Azure Monitor are the login analytics workspace and we can write any kind of custom queries in order to receive the data that is inserted into the login analytics workspace, diagnostic settings, et cetera."
"For me, the best feature is the log analysis with Azure Monitor's Log Analytics. Without being able to analyze the logs of all the activities that affect the performance of a machine, your monitoring effectiveness will be severely limited."
"It has good troubleshooting features."
"The feature that I found most valuable in Azure Monitor is its monitoring abilities. With Azure Monitor, you are able to monitor all of your cloud resources across multiple subscriptions in one dashboard and create solution-specific alerts that can trigger an email to the team responsible for that specific solution."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"The most valuable feature of New Relic is its ease of use."
"The versatility of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is application monitoring."
"One valuable feature is that the synthetic alert stays open until the issue is resolved. You can actually monitor whether your system is back up."
"The monitoring so far has been good and we are happy with it."
"The alert mechanism is quite accurate when something goes wrong in your system. For example, if you have hundreds of APIs on your server, and any of the APIs is not performing well, you get an alert. When there is a drop or change in the threshold value, the beauty of New Relic is that within a fraction of seconds, all the stakeholders who are configured in the New Relic system will get an alert. That's one good thing."
"The best feature of New Relic is its simple look and feel, making it easier to use than other tools."
"The monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors."
"The default interface should be improved."
"The scalability could be improved as there are some limitations."
"The solution should have cross-connection or cross-communication between tech partners."
"Lacks information including details related to where problems lie."
"The query builder could be better. In comparison to other monitoring tools, in order to use Azure Monitor, your engineers need to have KQL experience. If they don't, it's not intuitive as a system."
"The biggest one is probably just the user interface. There could be more advanced logging at the database level. They can also improve their query builder to allow you to search for things better, but I last used it about a year ago. They might have already changed a ton of things in the newer versions."
"We encounter some difficulties in monitoring the operating system on its own."
"They should bring the pricing down to be more competitive."
"New Relic APM is a good tool, and it has a database of failures, but it could use a list of customer-specific failures. New Relic APM should be able to give my company advanced analytics through AI."
"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."
"The browser isn't exactly reliable."
"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."
"Data Dog captures the entire session and then provides it as a video player path, which gives more insight into what the user was doing. It's pretty impressive. New Relic does that, yet it only captures using a couple of screenshots, which is not very detailed since you are unable to see the entire user flow."
"The customization of the start and end time is kind of cool."
"New Relic APM can improve the information when we dig deeper to check a problem. There should be more detailed information provided."
