Head of Testing & AVP at Flash AI
Distributed tracing has transformed our testing workflows and now uncovers hidden failures fast
The best features Lumigo offers include the live stream architecture and transaction mapping, which helps to automatically generate and update the visual execution topology for every single test transaction. After seeing the exact flow from the edge API through intermediate queues and containerized microservices down to managed storage, it gives our QA engineers instant context. Additionally, I love the request-response payload inspection feature, which captures input and output parameters, request headers, and invocation payload safely. When an automated integration test fails, the exact offending payload is visible right inside the trace, helping to save our QA and engineering teams a lot of time, leading to at least a 48.33% drop in wasted time previously spent finding the root cause. With automation saved, automated root cause correlation has helped to correlate logs, metrics, and trace spans across asynchronous boundaries, which is notoriously difficult to debug in event-driven AI pipelines. The live stream architecture and transaction mapping make such a difference for my team, as it generates updates regularly via visual execution and the topology for every single test transaction, providing us with a view through intermediate queues and microservices to managed storage, giving engineers instant context of transactions and payloads, which saves at least 49% of our time and allows overall resources to be used more effectively. Regarding Lumigo's AI capabilities, I find the governance of security to be really good, and we have seen a positive impact due to the AI capabilities alongside strict compliance regulations such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001, proving it is compliant with applicable regulations and policies. Lumigo's accuracy is close to 100%, making it very reliable. Lumigo integrates seamlessly with other AWS services we use, and we have not faced any issues.

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

"Lumigo has positively impacted our organization with transformative ROI for our quality engineering and delivery cycles, where the meantime to defect and resolve due to debugging failed end-to-end integration test runs has dropped over 68.3%."
"Any new member, whether from the development side or business team, finds the user-friendly UI easy to understand."
"We like the performance of the product."
"Given we have only one infrastructure guy and he can manage all of this, and a small team, everyone can use it all for different purposes."
"We were able to integrate with the messaging tool, Slack, which meant that we got notifications whenever something was not quite right."
"We like the performance of the product; it's very good, very reliable, and all features are capable of responding to our requirements."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Saves so much time in debugging our code and environments."
"In several days, we got a great ROI due to an issue in a customer application."
"It is a one stop shop and integrated with PagerDuty seamlessly. The solution is pretty self-contained."
 

Cons

"I think support needs to be improved."
"The agents are updated quite frequently, but New Relic doesn't offer tools for doing the upgrade in large environments."
"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."
"The only limitation we experience is with Insights query limit of 1,000 transactions."
"We have had issues with our agents going offline."
"Better error reporting Better ability to drill-down into errors"
"The browser isn't exactly reliable."
"The price needs improvement."
"Alerting based on custom insights queries. If I set a custom query to give me some value, I want to be able to set an alert for that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Because of budget, we are not using the mobile app part of this tool."
"The solution is less expensive than AppNeta."
"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."
"The solution is cheap, but prices can go up when users grow."
"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."
"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."
"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."
