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

"As New Relic is already integrated with Drupal, we can get our projects done with best practice and with the best value that we believe in."
"It has in-depth analysis using developer code for someone whose not traditionally a developer."
"New Relic has helped us in terms of optimizing our print and loading times, and it has solved many of our performance issues."
"New Relic is highly scalable and its build quality is very easy for handling to startup, enterprise, scale up, and workloads."
"The solution is good for sending alerts, drawing graphs about system usage, and creating plug-ins."
"It has given us better insight into the performance of the system, allowing us to prepare things, if necessary."
"It doesn't require much investment or technical expertise to implement, and I would recommend it for SME."
"It is a software solution as a service, so I don't have to manage it on-premise."
"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

"New Relic APM can improve the information when we dig deeper to check a problem. There should be more detailed information provided."
"The main reason we switched away from New Relic is that the cost is too high."
"The ROI is not crystal clear but can be found in preventing performance issues in production and a better/shorter troubleshoot possibility when suffering performance- and/or scalability/Availability issues on a production system."
"I would like a feature where I can turn off alerting at a policy level. Thus, when a policy is inactive, I can shut down all of my alerts within the policy."
"One major issue for me with New Relic is data privacy."
"The licensing cost is a little high and it should be brought down."
"Data Dog captures the entire session and then provides it as a video player path, which gives more insight into what the user was doing. It's pretty impressive. New Relic does that, yet it only captures using a couple of screenshots, which is not very detailed since you are unable to see the entire user flow."
"The APIs could be better. I would also like more APIs and features to integrate with streaming solutions, like Kinesis or Kafka."
"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price depends on how many agents you want."
"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."
"There is a picture which goes to your browser and it monitors requests from other users. However, it's impossible to use now because the price is very high. The feature is very nice, but I tried it during the trial period, and the current price makes it impossible to use."
"We spend somewhere around $5,000 to $6,000 per month with an annual recommitment of maybe $60,000. These are just ballpark figures."
"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 solution is quite expensive. It costs around $5,000 a month. There aren't any additional costs above that."
"Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
