Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The initial setup was fairly easy."
"It is a software solution as a service, so I don't have to manage it on-premise."
"We detect issues using dashboards that we built on New Relic."
"You don't have to go through a list of 500 servers."
"We were able to integrate with the messaging tool, Slack, which meant that we got notifications whenever something was not quite right."
"The feature I found most valuable is being able to design my queries. It's easy to design a query."
"It gives insights to non-technical people about what technical issues are most important, how much it impacts customers, and potentially, where we should be targeting our development teams when they have time."
"It allows the restriction of privileges and control of users."
"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."
"There are certain aspects of the configuration that could be simplified a bit."
"The monitoring is only as good as the alerts that it produces. By having it set up fine grain alerting, it is a bit of a pain."
"We have had issues with our agents going offline."
"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 scalability can be improved."
"I haven't come across any features that are lacking."
"Compared to their competitors, they are missing some features at the moment."
"The price needs improvement."
"The solution should include more detailed reports for SQL database requests."
