We performed a comparison between Honeycomb.io and New Relic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The solution's initial setup process was straightforward since we were getting enough support from Honeycomb.io's team."
"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 most valuable feature is the ability to receive in-depth information about applications. It can detect a lot of important information."
"New features are added often."
"The solution is scalable, and it is easy because all the documentation is available."
"The synthetics, alerts, and native inbuilt capabilities for monitoring the cloud with the New Relic agents have been helpful."
"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."
"New Relic's dashboard is nice, and it's reliable. It's also compatible with many services, especially Java and the Python ecosystem."
"The process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team."
"The UX/UI design of New Relic APM could be improved. The solution currently has some slow pages in terms of loading and viewing the pages, for example, the reports. The reports and other pages take a long time to load."
"Real-user monitoring would be helpful as it would help me to really understand the client-side performance of the application."
"The customization of the start and end time is kind of cool."
"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."
"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."
"There were some settings we had issues with."
"Documentation could be improved in New Relic APM, so users would have more clarity on configuring the dashboard. If New Relic gave better guidelines, users would find it easier to understand the metrics and features of New Relic APM. Another area for improvement is integration with Kubernetes. Currently, the process isn't user-friendly. It's challenging and lacks documentation for users to understand how to integrate New Relic APM with Kubernetes quickly. With multiple levels of Kubernetes dockers and other DBs on different clouds, it's tricky to gather all into New Relic APM on a single dashboard. What I'd like to see in the next version of New Relic APM is a single dashboard where you can easily view which applications fall under specific APMs. If there's a search feature where you can type in a keyword to find out if an APM is related to a particular application, that would be great."
"New Relic APM can improve the information when we dig deeper to check a problem. There should be more detailed information provided."
