Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"To me, the most valuable feature of New Relic APM is the traceability, mainly based on the time travel method, so you get the overall response time, which is pretty helpful for developers and ADR techs looking into issues on a deeper level. New Relic APM is a very good, tailor-made solution."
"The product allows the developer to see the actual problems in the applications."
"It is a one stop shop and integrated with PagerDuty seamlessly. The solution is pretty self-contained."
"We were able to integrate with the messaging tool, Slack, which meant that we got notifications whenever something was not quite right."
"They instrument up from the bottom to the top – every piece of code - they have a very perfect read of what’s being done, and how long it’s taking."
"The simplicity of the dashboard is very good."
"It allows the restriction of privileges and control of users."
"The solution is quite stable."
"It is a very valuable tool. It goes out and does a discovery, which is a great process of it. You could have something like a rogue DHCP server, and it will identify it, and then you can see to which switch port it is connected. It is quite an impressive tool. I really liked it because you didn't have to install an agent on anything. It would just go out and do its discovery. For me, that's great."
"Gives us the ability to see our network."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The scalability can be improved."
"We have had issues with our agents going offline."
"They don't have an opportunity to share the dashboard with the public. If you want to share it with stakeholders or people outside the organization who just want to have a look at a couple of metrics, you can't do that without onboarding them to the product itself."
"There are certain features that are not supported in New Relic, such as CATSEARCH, which allows you to do a full-text search."
"The deployment process could be improved."
"Real-user monitoring would be helpful as it would help me to really understand the client-side performance of the application."
"The price needs improvement."
"The initial setup can be made easier. Like Mixpanel, New Relic can also have a step-by-step guide for the setup process."
"I would like a built-in tap feature which doesn't interfere with the network, and it allows you to see what is happening there."
"Its price can be improved. Their support can also be improved a little bit. In terms of features, it did everything I wanted it to do. With more features, I would have to start installing network agents or something else, and I don't want to have to install anything. This was the value for me about this device."
