Ashwani Bansal - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Solution Consultant at Orange
Network management and diagnostics improved through effective monitoring and reporting capabilities
The solution is handy. I have not used that particular feature. Maintenance is required for the system. If you want to use something on the endpoints or end-user devices, then using LiveAction LiveNX in place of other tools would be quite beneficial. The solution impacts operational costs and resources. On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine.

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

"There are many positive attributes, and it's the best of the best."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great, but it is far, far away from good and perfect."
"If you're looking for a tool that will solve your problems in a short period of time more effectively, LiveNX is the right tool."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"Customer Service: Excellent. Technical Support: Excellent."
"Before New Relic, dev and ops were separate, and now they’ve come together more and there’s less finger-pointing."
"The solution's most valuable aspects are that it tracks java better and operates very efficiently."
"It's industry-leading, the most responsive full suite of tools that I’ve used."
"I find the error monitoring of IIS web applications to be extremely useful."
"It doesn't require much investment or technical expertise to implement, and I would recommend it for SME."
"As a QA manager, it helps me to know exactly where to focus our attentions because we can pinpoint specifically where there may be issues -- where geographically, which browsers, which browser versions, and other very granular details."
"Breadth of features, user experience, and constant development of the platform, as well as the value it’s adding to our business."
 

Cons

"My advice to others would be to run away from it. This is a slight exaggeration but this is more because the application is horrible, the stability is horrible, the performance is horrible and the support is horrible."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions."
"The only downside to this software is the price; it's a very pricey solution and very expensive, and it requires a good amount of resources in terms of server memory."
"They have some unique functionality but they need to create a more simplified UI."
"The product is weak in multi-tenancy. We have to install multiple instances of LiveAction, whereas we would like to build it once for our customers."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"I find New Relic to be somewhat expensive."
"There is a picture which goes to your browser and it monitors requests from other users. However, it's impossible to use now because the price is very high."
"One issue is cost."
"I think New Relic can be more simple to use because for beginners it can be more difficult to use, so I think New Relic can improve in that aspect."
"The thing missing from these platforms is connectivity."
"I think that there have been some questionable product enhancements. Over a year ago, New Relic rolled out a new navigation that really disrupted our workflow."
"I would like better alerting."
"We have some performance issues with the servers. Sometimes the server is consuming a lot of CPU or memory, and New Relic Insights fails."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"It's very expensive."
"We use the free version."
"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 price of New Relic APM could be less expensive. We are using the New Relic APM pro account and it is more costly. When compared to competitors the solution's pricing should be much more realistic."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one means cheap, and ten means very expensive."
"The price of New Relic could improve. It is expensive."
"I loved this product, but we can no longer afford it, so we dropped it."
"Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
"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."
"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."
