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 features are the dashboards and tracing.""We have done the New Relic integration with Serverless AWS, which has helped us with monitoring, and keeping our monitoring from our on-premise part with the cloud part.""It is a software solution as a service, so I don't have to manage it on-premise.""Server uptime is its most valuable feature.""The simplicity of the dashboard is very good.""The most valuable feature is the ability to receive in-depth information about applications. It can detect a lot of important information.""As soon as it monitors all our systems and is integrated with PagerDuty, the operations team just needs to wait for alerts on their cellphones to fix things.""The most valuable feature of New Relic is its ease of use."

"I find the Micro Focus Operations Bridge dashboard valuable, including its instrument analysis and anomaly control features that help indicate root causes and problems with your infrastructure.""The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus.""We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems.""You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components.""The preloaded rules and ways to monitor your systems are a must.""The event correlation is the most valuable aspect of the solution.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all.""It's a very good product overall."

Cons
"It gives you amazing statistics, but doesn’t give you enough information about what to do with the statistics.""Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area.""The connectivity between legacy and newer cloud applications is not great.""I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues.""In the next release, I'd like to see a better pricing structure.""I would like an infrastructure network that provides real-time views, showing the issues.""New Relic does enable frontend performance monitoring by default. However, when we are troubleshooting the issue, New Relic is not able to trace back to the service where the issue is. Other solutions, such as Dynatrace are better.""It is complicated, especially in how you interpret the data that it provides. If it had a bit more canned, out-of-the-box features, especially some of the reporting features, that would be more useful."

More New Relic Cons →

"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events.""The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it.""I'm not aware of areas that need improvement.""Reporting has to be tackled a bit more. Conceptually, it is there and conceptually it is amazing, but somehow the module itself is suffering.""Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling.""It is a very complicated product. It's difficult to manage. Nowadays, products are very easy to manage, deploy, and integrate, but Operations Bridge is very complicated to manage.""The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies.""The pricing could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
  • "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."
  • "Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
  • "It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "They gave us aggressive discounts when they were brought in for the first time, but they have also kept them for the year-on-year renewals, which has been absolutely fine."
  • More New Relic Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
  • "It is competitive."
  • "Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
  • "The licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
  • "The cost is very high."
  • "As OpsBridge is a suite of products bundled together, you may find yourself paying for software functionality that you don't actually use, e.g. Real User Monitor (RUM)."
  • "The licensing model for Micro Focus Operations Bridge is unit-based so it can be one device or ten devices depending on your situation or model. Cost-wise, it's much more if you have more devices and features such as infrastructure monitoring, analytic dashboard, and business dashboard in your model."
