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 monitoring so far has been good and we are happy with it."
"It enables us to fine-tune our application quicker."
"The service maps that it creates, the health maps that it creates, the insights that it provides, etc., are all quite useful."
"However, as a dev-ops tool, it has been priceless."
"With the help of New Relic APM, we managed to deliver an online B2B application with average response times below two seconds, where with v6, the average response times was about 30 seconds."
"Real-time error monitoring means I can drill down and see what’s happening."
"The UI interface and navigation make it easy for a novice user to quickly use the provided relevant performance application data to determine how well their application is performing and to see other areas which may require some further tuning."
"The database trace was the most useful service, helping us improve performance on our servers by more than 30%."
"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

"However, there could be problems or hiccups with the integration with Java-based services and microservices."
"New Relic needs to improve is the user data schema."
"Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area."
"I think their dev packages for server monitoring could handle configuration a bit better."
"It is a SaaS service and this creates internal friction that needs innovative solutions (but you have to own that)."
"The pricing could be improved as it is quite high relative to what is offered."
"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."
"New Relic APM can improve the information when we dig deeper to check a problem. There should be more detailed information provided."
"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I loved this product, but we can no longer afford it, so we dropped it."
"The pricing and licensing are good if you have an account manager and a partner manager who are looking to help out."
"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 product is neither cheap nor expensive, and I believe that it is a competitively-priced tool."
"If I remember it correctly, the pricing was based on the core, and the monthly subscription used to cost us $1,500 or $2,000. We had pre-prod and production services. Costing was different for pre-prod and production. For pre-prod, it was 40% less than the production service cost. It was a combined package."
"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 think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
"The price of New Relic could improve. It is expensive."
"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
