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

"Server uptime is its most valuable feature."
"Monitoring is a crucial thing for every work, and New Relic is doing a very good job in this part."
"It is a one stop shop and integrated with PagerDuty seamlessly. The solution is pretty self-contained."
"The API functionality allows us to get hit counts from external sources, such as APIs or databases, and everything is mapped very clearly."
"The stability of New Relic APM is very good."
"The database trace was the most useful service, helping us improve performance on our servers by more than 30%."
"It’s been helpful to get a unified understanding of how our application is being used, usage patterns, etc. We get a shared organizational understanding."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"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

"Email alert customization is limited; it cannot be tailored much, which makes the system more rigid than optimal."
"It is a SaaS service and this creates internal friction that needs innovative solutions (but you have to own that)."
"They should bring the pricing down to be more competitive."
"There are a number of plugins that New Relic makes. It would be nice to be able to instantly integrate that with APM."
"One issue is cost."
"I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues."
"Documentation could be improved in New Relic APM, so users would have more clarity on configuring the dashboard. If New Relic gave better guidelines, users would find it easier to understand the metrics and features of New Relic APM. Another area for improvement is integration with Kubernetes. Currently, the process isn't user-friendly. It's challenging and lacks documentation for users to understand how to integrate New Relic APM with Kubernetes quickly. With multiple levels of Kubernetes dockers and other DBs on different clouds, it's tricky to gather all into New Relic APM on a single dashboard. What I'd like to see in the next version of New Relic APM is a single dashboard where you can easily view which applications fall under specific APMs. If there's a search feature where you can type in a keyword to find out if an APM is related to a particular application, that would be great."
"I wish it had more insight into what might be causing a particular slowness issue. It finds the function, but it would be great to have insight into what’s slow."
"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 new licensing model is great, as we pay for what we use (in computational units). However, the pricing is expensive compared to other tools."
"The monthly cost os $1000 per server per month, but it could be even more. We pay about $250 for the server, and then New Relic wants over $1000 to give us statistics on those servers."
"This solution required a license and it is better than some other competitors."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, and I believe that it is a competitively-priced tool."
"The pricing and licensing are good if you have an account manager and a partner manager who are looking to help out."
"Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
"The price of New Relic could improve. It is expensive."
"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
