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.

Offers real-time alerting and dashboards are great for performance hubs of the database
It's primarily for CPU utilization and resource monitoring. Vulnerability scanning falls under OCI Cloud Guard, so it's related to security concerns. Some people might prefer using a third-party tool for more enhanced features. However, I think Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service could be improved to reduce the need for third-party connectivity. So overall, third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service. OCI needs more research and development to understand why clients choose third-party tools like Splunk or QRadar over internal monitoring solutions. There must be some areas where third-party tools are better. OCI could analyze this and improve its service.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has given us better insight into the performance of the system."
"There are many valuable features in New Relic APM; we developed some software applications and we are able to monitor the errors very easily, and their log security retention is very good."
"The solution is good for sending alerts, drawing graphs about system usage, and creating plug-ins."
"I find the error monitoring of IIS web applications to be extremely useful."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to see what is going on with the apps on our web server."
"From operationally rich, to developer deep."
"New Relic is the best choice because the product has good dashboards, scalability, and environments."
"It gives insights to non-technical people about what technical issues are most important, how much it impacts customers, and potentially, where we should be targeting our development teams when they have time."
"Real-time alerting is a very important feature. We need alerts for everything. We have alarms setup and get alerts through email or third-party integrations depending on what's happening – critical VMs, high CPU usage, security concerns."
 

Cons

"The connectivity between legacy and newer cloud applications is not great."
"There were some settings we had issues with."
"If they added the monitoring to the ops-server side, it would be better."
"I would like if it could have predictive analysis. Today, we only have the option to configure thresholds."
"Doesn't recognized some third party transaction traces."
"They are a costly solution and the stability should be better for the price."
"While the New Relic dashboards and UI are customizable, they can sometimes lead to a clumsy behavior."
"It would be nice if there were pre-made dashboards."
"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Because of budget, we are not using the mobile app part of this tool."
"It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
"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."
"The pricing and licensing are good if you have an account manager and a partner manager who are looking to help out."
"The price depends on how many agents you want."
"The price of New Relic could improve. It is expensive."
"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
