Monitors well with Citrix, stable, and the support is very responsive
It looks like it is easy to scale, but I don't know how far it can go out. We are only a 300, or 400 person company. We are not terribly large. It looks like it should be able to scale up until 10,000 at least. There are two users in the company who use this solution, I use it, and the helpdesk.
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

"Offers a diversity of features."
"I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"We appreciate the way that this solution allows us to monitor the ongoing status of the UI at any given time."
"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."
"What I like best about New Relic APM is its user interface because it's simple. The most valuable feature of New Relic APM is end-to-end monitoring."
"It has the ability to monitor random URLs not tied to the one pinger per application (though it costs extra)."
"The APM feature is highly valuable as it can record session hosts, usage, and diagnose customer behaviors."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage the application flow."
"Working with the solution is very easy. It's user-friendly."
"One of the most outstanding features of any APM tool is the anomaly detection part."
 

Cons

"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"The pricing could be improved as it is quite high relative to what is offered."
"Documentation is one of the biggest things that I have a problem with since its documentation is not clear sometimes."
"I would like the ability to set up certain dummy accounts and do the actual things that the customer is doing, without impacting the production environment."
"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."
"In the next release, I'd like to see a better pricing structure."
"New Relic needs to improve is the user data schema."
"We have had issues with our agents going offline."
"The initial setup can be made easier. Like Mixpanel, New Relic can also have a step-by-step guide for the setup process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price seems reasonable."
"We spend somewhere around $5,000 to $6,000 per month with an annual recommitment of maybe $60,000. These are just ballpark figures."
"If it’s the right tool, it doesn’t matter what it costs because you’re going to get it back many-fold from your productivity."
"I loved this product, but we can no longer afford it, so we dropped it."
"This is an expensive product."
"New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
"The detection piece of it brings us a big return on investment."
"This solution required a license and it is better than some other competitors."
"Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
