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

"The alerting is by far the most valuable feature, closely followed by the way the platform correlates incidents across applications and components."
"The database trace was the most useful service, helping us improve performance on our servers by more than 30%."
"The monitoring so far has been good and we are happy with it."
"The most valuable features are the dashboards and tracing."
"With the metrics from New Relic, we can improve the performance and reduce the downtime because we can identify problems and solve them more quickly."
"We are getting a very good ROI as our production quality has gone up with more issues getting detected on local environments."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to receive in-depth information about applications, as it can detect a lot of important information."
"It's a very stable product."
"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

"Sometimes it’s too difficult to get more details about a problem. Sometimes it requires too much drilling down to find out about a problem for which we shouldn't need to do so much searching."
"Alerts tend to show how an entire cluster is performing, and not only that a given node is having an issue."
"New Relic APM generates weekly performance reports, but they aren't really actionable."
"Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area."
"There are certain features that are not supported in New Relic, such as CATSEARCH, which allows you to do a full-text search."
"The cost of the solution is high on a per-node licensing scheme and that’s the prohibitive factor, but in terms of the actual scalability there are no issues."
"One issue – there is no option for live chat or phone support."
"Sometimes the UI feels like it is not that much user-friendly for any new user who is using New Relic."
"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is okay comparatively their competitors. The only concern was whether it should be purchased on demand or bring your own license, and which way passes some savings onto the end customers."
"This is an expensive product."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, and I believe that it is a competitively-priced tool."
"The price of the solution could be less expensive. You have to pay a lot for each user. There is an additional cost for extra features."
"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."
"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."
"I think the pricing is reasonable."
"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
