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

"I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"Offers a diversity of features."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage the application flow."
"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."
"We are able to drill down and see what is going on in the system."
"It is a one stop shop and integrated with PagerDuty seamlessly. The solution is pretty self-contained."
"We detect issues using dashboards that we built on New Relic."
"The most important thing is that it tells us where the latency in throughput and response time are."
"The most valuable feature is the New Relic APM module to deep-dive into the application, to get bottlenecks to the surface, and to improve application performance. Also, the New Relic Insights module creates a real-time dashboard on application performance to create awareness for the DevOps team."
"It allows the restriction of privileges and control of users."
 

Cons

"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"The scalability can be improved."
"How granular I could go down at looking at certain data, especially related to the operations, is limited."
"It is a serious tool and requires a lot of time invested in order to understand how it works."
"Compared to their competitors, they are missing some features at the moment."
"They need to improve the alerting and dashboarding as these are the key features in DevOps."
"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 is quite expensive."
"The solution should include more detailed reports for SQL database requests."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price seems reasonable."
"I recommend using the free version of New Relic. If you like the free version and understand its importance for your company, you can move to the trial. Then, you can migrate to the paid version."
"The pricing model is a little confusing for beginners. They find it a little expensive, and if you are using it already, then that is not good."
"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."
"This is an expensive product."
"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."
"The pricing is okay comparatively their competitors. The only concern was whether it should be purchased on demand or bring your own license, and which way passes some savings onto the end customers."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, and I believe that it is a competitively-priced tool."
"The solution is quite expensive. It costs around $5,000 a month. There aren't any additional costs above that."
