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.

Provides data accuracy for availability and policy harmonization

The reporting capabilities are a challenge and could be improved. We have been trying to connect to it from our help desk ticketing system, because the ticketing system manages asset tracking, which has been a bit challenging for us. Otherwise, they give some reports that are okay, but we do not use them much because we work in the dashboard. 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. I can take the report and show it to them from a compliance point of view. However, the moment we go to a SaaS model, I don't have control of the data and where the data is stored. I don't receive any complaints-based reports from the SaaS model.

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

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

"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."

"It is a stable product. After the initial configuration, you don't have to tweak it much. All systems of Everest IMS work perfectly."

"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."

"The feature that I like the most and the best part is the customization."

"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."

"Their discovery is very quick and they have a CSV file upload mechanism that allows you to onboard five thousand devices a day."

"To me, the most valuable feature of New Relic APM is the traceability, mainly based on the time travel method, so you get the overall response time, which is pretty helpful for developers and ADR techs looking into issues on a deeper level. New Relic APM is a very good, tailor-made solution."

"We appreciate the way that this solution allows us to monitor the ongoing status of the UI at any given time."

"New Relic has positively impacted my organization regarding my main area of interest, which is performance tests, and by using New Relic, I received a lot of information to improve my systems."

"The VPN is one of the solution's most valuable features for us."

"New Relic's dashboard is nice, and it's reliable. It's also compatible with many services, especially Java and the Python ecosystem."

"We were able to integrate with the messaging tool, Slack, which meant that we got notifications whenever something was not quite right."

"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."

"Using New Relic speeds up troubleshooting and resolution, giving us a clearer picture of where issues are, thus saving time and effort."

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."

"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."

"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."

"There might be some features in other products that are currently not there in Everest IMS and can be included. I have not yet compared it with any other product."

"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."

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

"The graphical view of the topology does not show us all of the connectivity in our network, which is something that could be improved."

"The product's initial setup phase is not straightforward to manage if you have no experience with installations, making it an area that can be improved."

"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."

"Documentation is one of the biggest things that I have a problem with since its documentation is not clear sometimes."

"Email alert customization is limited."

"I would like if it could have predictive analysis. Today, we only have the option to configure thresholds."

"New Relic is priced on the higher side."

"Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area."

"The price needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

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

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

"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was easy. The product is easy to deploy and manage, which is why our company purchased through the AWS Marketplace."

"New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."

"The price of the solution could be less expensive. You have to pay a lot for each user. There is an additional cost for extra features."

"Comparatively, the pricing is expensive."

"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 solution is quite expensive. It costs around $5,000 a month. There aren't any additional costs above that."

"We feel it's a little bit pricey."

"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."
