Fast in-app surveys have improved how we collect and focus on user feedback for our job platform
The best features Instabug offers are that it is very easy to obtain immediate feedback. The immediate feedback feature for my app is very simple to use, which helps my team and users focus on the target and focus on a different objective. Instabug has impacted my organization positively because it is very simple to use, and I can find in a short time the feedback I need to work on a specific target.

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

"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"The product makes it very easy to reproduce issues."
"The best features Instabug offers are that it is very easy to obtain immediate feedback."
"It has given us better insight into the performance of the system."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"The solution is good for sending alerts, drawing graphs about system usage, and creating plug-ins."
"It gives insights to non-technical people about what technical issues are most important, how much it impacts customers, and potentially, where we should be targeting our development teams when they have time."
"New Relic is highly scalable and its build quality is very easy for handling to startup, enterprise, scale up, and workloads."
"Every time there is a crisis, high traffic, or if we see a problem with a server, we go to New Relic and monitor it to determine the cause."
"New Relic has helped us in terms of the optimizing our print and loading times."
"Using New Relic speeds up troubleshooting and resolution, giving us a clearer picture of where issues are, thus saving time and effort."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial if the tool could be more precise in capturing steps, focusing only on the relevant ones. For example, there were some times when it caught some extra screenshots which were not included in the steps. Sometimes, it also happened that it got some extra steps that were not in there to reproduce the bug. We also called that screenshot and the steps there as well."
"The end users were not able to report bugs."
"They should bring the pricing down to be more competitive."
"We would like a dashboard feature to be created for this product. This would allow us to monitor both the front and back-end of our UIs performance, and then report on it."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Documentation is one of the biggest things that I have a problem with since its documentation is not clear sometimes."
"I would like a feature where I can turn off alerting at a policy level. Thus, when a policy is inactive, I can shut down all of my alerts within the policy."
"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."
"I would like an infrastructure network that provides real-time views, showing the issues."
"They could improve the education process and how people understand that these tools are very technical. Right now, if someone was to pick it up from day one, it is a very steep learning curve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing is better with New Relic APM than Dynatrace."
"The price was one of the reasons we chose this solution."
"If I remember it correctly, the pricing was based on the core, and the monthly subscription used to cost us $1,500 or $2,000. We had pre-prod and production services. Costing was different for pre-prod and production. For pre-prod, it was 40% less than the production service cost. It was a combined package."
"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."
"I think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
"The pricing is fine."
"It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
"The pricing and licensing are too high."
