Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 9, 2024

New Relic and Infraon IMS both compete in the field of IT monitoring solutions. New Relic seems to have the upper hand due to its extensive application and server monitoring capabilities, making it more suitable for environments requiring deep insights.

Features: New Relic provides detailed application and server monitoring, real-time transaction monitoring, SLA metrics, and alerting systems. It supports APM Synthetics and Blazemeter for SQL transactions and application performance insights. Users can share monitoring setups for collaboration. Infraon IMS offers a consolidated view for network monitoring, detailed dashboard interactions, and role-based access. It provides real-time availability insights into infrastructure but lacks depth in the application layer monitoring that New Relic offers.

Room for Improvement: New Relic could improve data privacy controls, offer more granular alert customizations, and address complex pricing tiers. Infraon IMS could benefit from AI-driven insights, an enhanced GUI, and improved reporting capabilities. It also needs better integration with non-IP-based devices and clearer licensing models.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: New Relic is designed for cloud environments with support for public and hybrid cloud deployments. Customers find its documentation helpful and support responsive, though there's a call for real-time communication options. Infraon IMS is effective in controlled on-premises and private cloud environments, with good customer service and technical support. The need for support is rare, indicating a stable deployment experience.

Pricing and ROI: New Relic's pricing model can be steep for smaller businesses or high data volumes but is justified by its features depth. There's a strong call for more flexible pricing options, though it provides good ROI through improved application performance and reduced debugging times. Infraon IMS has budget-friendly pricing, making it attractive for smaller setups needing essential monitoring capabilities. Its licensing is reasonable and customizable based on feature selection, offering cost-effective solutions.

GTM Manager at a computer software company with 201-500 employees

Our process efficiency has improved by having all the information in one place, which has reduced manpower

The product is great. We integrated the ticketing tool with the monitoring tool. The agent ID creation is very easy when using this tool. It is so user-friendly. The user interface is good and also the pricing is great. The user interface is good, even a business user or layman can raise a ticket. They provide an all-in-one monitoring tool. If an issue happens, it gets integrated with the email, then proactively that ticket is being raised, which is good. The reporting is good. It is very clear. It is a customized report; however you want it, you can customize it. We use the solution’s role-based dashboards. The head of IT wants to use it so he can see holistically what is happening, e.g., what are the tickets being raised, what is a major issue, and what escalations are happening. There are different dashboards that are customized. For our head of IT, we made a separate dashboard. Then, for the executives, we made a separate dashboard based on time, like hourly or daily. All these reports were customized. While they didn't provide a BI dashboard, they provide a kind of graphical dashboard for whatever the issue is. Once you click on a particular ticket, it drills down to the issue, what it is and when the issue was raised. The drill down is good. It is more like a business intelligence (BI) tool. You can just scroll and zoom in. It goes deep into the issue. Once you click a particular dashboard, it will take you to the next page, then it takes you to the issue. Infraon IMS provides workflow automation for real-world use cases. This makes our work easier. It is just drag and drop (no coding) to build the workflows. For example, a particular ticket is being raised. It gets routed to three important IT executives within our team. From our team, it gets routed to the next level. The learning curve is good. Initially, there were no issues. As soon as the users saw the product, they understood what the product was. There wasn't any kind of training required for this product because it is very straightforward.

Real-time alerts have reduced server outage impact and support fast incident response

In the dashboard, if they could show a little more metrics regarding the application and related things, that would be how New Relic could be improved. Currently, there are things showing from the server level and application level, but it can be improved. That is what I felt. Regarding user interface, I do not feel much concern, but for some kind of issues when we are trying to get support from the New Relic team, their SLA seems to be long. They are taking seven to ten working days for resolving some kind of scenario or issue. That is a bit difficult for us. If they could improve the customer support by reducing their SLA within three to five days, if they could remediate everything, that will be so much helpful. When it comes to the customer support part, I felt they need to be a little more improved on that part. The support overall is good, but they can improve. That is the reason I have given it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The backup, restore, and comparison features are all good."

"The most valuable feature is alerting. We get email alerts when a link is down that tell us which device is having a problem."

"Once we installed this central system, our site engineers who provide the data started believing in the data's accuracy."

"We use the solution to automatically trigger processes to help us resolve issues. The whole IT process has been automated, such as trying to map all the users and the escalation process. So, if any issue happens, we get an SMS and WhatsApp of the report. If there is a critical issue this has to be sorted out, like the entire data center being down, then there is an alarm."

"With Infraon, everything is already built-in so you are able to plug-and-play with the system."

"Our response time is within 30 minutes for any support. This solution provides alerts immediately, so we are within our SLA, giving efficiency to our support."

"The role-based dashboards provide data points and charts and topology diagrams in a single window. It's like a spider web, where the application, connectivity, and everything is defined for each user of those applications."

"If you are looking for the best product with the best price, Infraon is the best product."

More Infraon IMS pros

"Previously, without a monitoring solution, a developer could potentially spend a day working on a feature or a bug to try and resolve an issue, but now, with monitoring in place, we can understand if a customer is actually hitting this bug, how often they are hitting it, and how much frustration they are dealing with on a day-by-day basis, then reprioritize our tasks."

"With the help of New Relic tools, our organization was able to detect, track, and fix errors in our website, so we focused our efforts in these areas."

"Saves so much time in debugging our code and environments."

"It is a software solution as a service, so I don't have to manage it on-premise."

"New Relic always gets new things done."

"With our micro-services, we have basic analytics, and it is super simple to set up."

"It has helped my organization to dive deeper into the application using the APM module is very helpful."

"Within a few hours of implementing the API, I was able to query for what we needed."

More New Relic pros

Cons

"I would like to have the option to add a new device or meet with the next release. Right now, it needs to be done from the backend which results in a heavy reliance on R&D."

"The GUI is in need of improvement. It is not drag-and-drop or easy to use."

"We have enquired if there are any possibilities of monitoring non-IPBS devices."

"This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets."

"I would like to see an integrated view of Infraon IMS and Infraon Desk. It would be very helpful if that were integrated into the solution."

"Email support is a bit slow. Once you drop an email, it takes time."

"Technical support could use some improvement in terms of their response times and diagnostic accuracy."

"This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets. There are GDPR and other requirements that might require country-specific sensitive information to be filtered as well as other things that need to be taken care of. Normally, if we need to do any compliance, like ISO27000 compliance, they don't have such a report within their system. This kind of report is missing from their SaaS. That is one of the reasons that we have gone to the on-prem version, where I am assured that my data is secure."

More Infraon IMS cons

"The solution is quite expensive."

"It is complicated, especially in how you interpret the data that it provides. If it had a bit more canned, out-of-the-box features, especially some of the reporting features, that would be more useful."

"The support could improve because they are not very fast and the information was not very accurate."

"One thing that we noticed was that historical information was only for a limited period, which was not helpful in certain scenarios."

"I haven't come across any features that are lacking."

"New Relic APM generates weekly performance reports, but they aren't really actionable."

"The licensing cost is a little high and it should be brought down."

"New Relic can get pricey for larger organizations."

More New Relic cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable, given the features that they provide."

"If you are looking for the best product with the best price, Infraon is the best product. We evaluated five to six products and finally felt Infraon was better because of the pricing model, especially because it was more flexible."

"The cost model is within our budget. I have less than 180 critical assets, but the moment that I have 1,000 assets, then the license model is totally different. I don't know whether they are capable of handling that kind of a load. They could revisit the licensing model."

"We pay for a number of devices on the accounts and since it is on-premises, we pay the maintenance charges for the year."

"Licensing is calculated on a per-user basis."

"I think that the pricing for this solution is reasonable and varies by number of devices."

"Because of budget, we are not using the mobile app part of this tool."

"The pricing could be better. We did not purchase the full version. Maybe if we applied all the other features of the full version of New Relic, we could get all the features that we feel are missing."

"Cost is significant with a lot of extras."

"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 think the pricing is 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."

"The pricing is fine."

"The price was one of the reasons we chose this solution."
