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's a very stable product."
"New Relic has helped us in terms of optimizing our print and loading times, and it has solved many of our performance issues."
"From operationally rich, to developer deep."
"The synthetics, alerts, and native inbuilt capabilities for monitoring the cloud with the New Relic agents have been helpful."
"It's helped us to find problems early and to make sure that what we're doing is working."
"New Relic is suitable for banking domains, investment brokerage products, or anything related to high-security data, and it works as a whole monitoring solution, including logging, monitoring, and application profiling tools."
"We’re able to see real-time sessions come through, talk directly to customers as they’re having issues with the site, and pull up their email addresses to see what issues they have, which makes it crucial for customer support and engineering."
"It gives us insight into several areas-- Where slowdowns are, Which of our customers is hitting us most, and If there’s an application issue on the database side, how long a query takes."
"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

"Stack traces don’t go far enough. They get to a point, indicate a question mark, and then stop."
"If they added the monitoring to the ops-server side, it would be better."
"Probably make the query language a little bit easier."
"Raw transaction didn’t give us data that we needed."
"It’s really powerful with a lot of features, but some training and documentation from New Relic would be useful."
"While I appreciate many aspects of New Relic, I believe the product could improve in some areas—specifically, some advanced capabilities can have a learning curve for new users, and the licensing and consumption model can be difficult to predict, particularly in environments generating large volumes of telemetry data."
"Better error reporting Better ability to drill-down into errors"
"The solution needs to have staging."
"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price was one of the reasons we chose this solution."
"Because of budget, we are not using the mobile app part of this tool."
"I think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
"Pricing is better with New Relic APM than Dynatrace."
"Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
"The solution is priced reasonably. New Relic APM is one of the best products for me because it's economical, so anyone can easily pick it over other solutions and use it."
"The pricing and licensing are good if you have an account manager and a partner manager who are looking to help out."
"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."
"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
