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.

System engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
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

"We provide a tool for our customers to manage their reports. It's an extremely highly featured platform capable of producing a lot of data. We spent quite a long time working with customers and LiveAction to create template reports, and they're very good and configurable. You get a lot of data if you don't configure them."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great, but it is far, far away from good and perfect."
"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."
"It is very good if you are a Cisco shop; it gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning."
"The thing that's nice about New Relic is it doesn't try and do everything, it does what it does."
"We are getting a very good ROI as our production quality has gone up with more issues getting detected on local environments."
"The API functionality allows us to get hit counts from external sources, such as APIs or databases, and everything is mapped very clearly."
"We like the performance of the product; it's very good, very reliable, and all features are capable of responding to our requirements."
"If you want to keep monitoring your site and find the performance of it, this is a good option to do so."
"They have baseline level alerting."
"This is the best tool for gaining insight into SaaS or cloud-based applications that we’ve seen."
"The deep insights, which will give you the metrics (not a high level), so we can build out at the database level where the bottleneck is. This has been pretty helpful."
 

Cons

"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions."
"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."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"Maintenance is required for the system."
"The customer service and technical support of LiveAction LiveNX are rated at 4 out of 10."
"I would like if it could have predictive analysis. Today, we only have the option to configure thresholds."
"Documentation is one of the biggest things that I have a problem with since its documentation is not clear sometimes."
"The scalability can be improved."
"There were some settings we had issues with."
"The logs in New Relic are not showing the full logs. When I go and check the logs, they are not complete."
"It hasn’t scaled quite right now. We use another tool for out-of-gate view."
"From a point of view of showing you what to do fine but in terms of showing you what to do with the data infuriatingly unhelpful."
"The biggest issue is the lack of mobile support from the website."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very expensive."
"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"We use the free version."
"This is an expensive product."
"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. The feature is very nice, but I tried it during the trial period, and the current price makes it impossible to use."
"The pricing model is a little confusing for beginners. They find it a little expensive, and if you are using it already, then that is not good."
"New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, and I believe that it is a competitively-priced tool."
"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."
"I think the pricing is reasonable."
"I recommend using the free version of New Relic. If you like the free version and understand its importance for your company, you can move to the trial. Then, you can migrate to the paid version."
