We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and New Relic APM based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: New Relic is easier to deploy than Azure Monitor. Its users are happier with the technical support and also report an ROI.
"Azure Monitor is very stable."
"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 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."
"Azure Monitor is useful because of the useful application insights and telemetry, such as metrics and logs."
"It is a robust, stable product."
"Data exporting is easy, and this tool works seamlessly with other solutions. It's a stable and low-priced solution."
"You can scale the product."
"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"There are many valuable features in New Relic APM. We developed some software applications and we are able to monitor the errors very easily. Their log security retention is very good."
"The simplicity of the dashboard is very good."
"The stability of New Relic APM is very good."
"We like the performance of the product."
"The most valuable feature is application monitoring."
"The breakdown of the response time of different components and getting in-depth details of the slow component are the most valuable features. It is easy to use, and it gets the job done."
"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 VPN is one of the solution's most valuable features for us."
"Setting up this solution is complex. It's also missing the functionality of assigning alerts."
"If it is configured incorrectly, you can end up with a huge bill."
"They need to work with other cloud providers - not just Azure."
"This solution has fewer features than some of its competitors, so adding more features to it would make it better."
"Currently, it seems it's complicated to get the correct information in terms of what to do and how things work."
"Lacks information including details related to where problems lie."
"I'd like the solution to do more around vulnerability assessment. It's lacking in the product right now."
"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"New Relic APM can improve the information when we dig deeper to check a problem. There should be more detailed information provided."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"They should bring the pricing down to be more competitive."
"It is very difficult to award the service level cycles at an endpoint level."
"One thing that we noticed was that historical information was only for a limited period, which was not helpful in certain scenarios. For example, if I want to size my system for an event for New Year or Christmas season based on the historical data, I won't be able to find the historical data. Currently, the data is limited to three months. It would be helpful if they can provide historical data for a longer duration so that we can plan our system accordingly."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."
"There has been some problem with the agent, and it is just not working well. It is not able to record information with the application server. They have been able to fix the issue, but it took quite a long time. This is the main issue in the APM products and also in New Relic. The mobile application monitoring has been pretty difficult to set up and also quite expensive. It should be a little bit easier and cheaper. Because it is pretty difficult and expensive, many customers don't take it."
