Purneswara Rao - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable tool that helps identify the complete flow analysis in a network
The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the complete flow analysis can be identified through the tool. The classification of each protocol and how the bandwidth utilization is happening with the protocols while managing to get SLAs, IP protocols, and QoS metrics is possible because of the product.
Rahul -Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
Good for application Performance Monitoring but not stable
There are two types of teams we have in every organization. One is for DevOps, and the second one is for performance testing. Those who are using these tools, like AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or whatever tool we have on the APM side. These tools are used by two teams: one is the performance team, and another one is the DevOps team. So, the setup and the alert system belong to the DevOps team, not for performance. So, I don't use any alerts in AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or any of the tools.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This solution has helped our organization by allowing us to have visibility. We deal with cybersecurity, so visibility is very important."
"It is an overall stable solution."
"The VPN is one of the solution's most valuable features for us."
"It has helped my organization to dive deeper into the application using the APM module is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to execute queries and analyze the data."
"New Relic is easy to use even for someone with no knowledge; by seeing the dashboard, they can easily find out the application's health and notice what is happening."
"We appreciate the way that this solution allows us to monitor the ongoing status of the UI at any given time."
"The simplicity of the dashboard is very good."
"The integration and configuration of New Relic is straightforward and easy."
"It has helped us maintain a much higher uptime than we had previously."
 

Cons

"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement."
"I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."
"How granular I could go down at looking at certain data, especially related to the operations, is limited."
"Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area."
"The older view is much better than the new view that they have. We'd like to go back to that previous version. The user interface just isn't as nice as it used to be."
"The solution needs to have staging."
"New Relic APM can improve the information when we dig deeper to check a problem. There should be more detailed information provided."
"In addition, its difficult to have a predictive tool to see how the application would behave in the future when it basically only shows the historical data."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"They need to improve the alerting and dashboarding as these are the key features in DevOps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you make a DX NetOps-based purchase and the complete suite of products that fall under DX NetOps from Broadcom, then you get Network Flow Analysis along with DX NetOps Performance Management and DX Spectrum."
"The monthly cost os $1000 per server per month, but it could be even more. We pay about $250 for the server, and then New Relic wants over $1000 to give us statistics on those servers."
"The price of New Relic APM could be less expensive. We are using the New Relic APM pro account and it is more costly. When compared to competitors the solution's pricing should be much more realistic."
"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."
"The new licensing model is great, as we pay for what we use (in computational units). However, the pricing is expensive compared to other tools."
"We feel it's a little bit pricey."
"The solution is priced reasonably. New Relic APM is one of the best products for me because it's economical, so anyone can easily pick it over other solutions and use it."
"We're paying for the New Relic APM license annually."
"I think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
