Room For Improvement

New Relic users seek better pricing, enhanced integrations, improved documentation, and more comprehensive dashboards, alerts, and performance monitoring.
OpsRamp needs improvements in ITSM maturity, user interface, automation, alert accuracy, support, and AIOps capabilities to stay competitive.
Email alert customization is limited; it cannot be tailored much, which makes the system more rigid than optimal.
Technical support should be improved.
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers should consider New Relic's complex and potentially expensive pricing model, especially for smaller companies or large deployments.
OpsRamp provides an economical, clear licensing model with annual resource-based bundles, offering cost-effective access to the full platform.
it does not strike me as expensive, and the licensing model is clear enough.

Good for application Performance Monitoring but not stable
There are two types of teams we have in every organization. One is for DevOps, and the second one is for performance testing. Those who are using these tools, like AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or whatever tool we have on the APM side. These tools are used by two teams: one is the performance team, and another one is the DevOps team. So, the setup and the alert system belong to the DevOps team, not for performance. So, I don't use any alerts in AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or any of the tools.
Muhammad Umair Gulfam - PeerSpot reviewer
Automates Azure resource monitoring and inventory management but slow with real-time patch status
There is room for improvement in the performance of the product. The main problem is with patch management. The actual problem we're facing is with the patch management feature. It's not real-time, which creates inconsistencies. The machine might say there are no updates available, while the OpsRamp agent reports that everything's patched. It's a mismatch. We recently started a new marketplace for clients where we manage patch management. We try to share knowledge with OpsRamp, but they don't have a rapid process for product enhancements. Our main pain point is the lack of engagement from the product team. If someone from OpsRamp could discuss our concerns, work on future enhancements, or even give us an estimated timeline (ETA), it would be a huge improvement.
