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

"New Relic has helped us in terms of optimizing our print and loading times, and it has solved many of our performance issues."
"Previously, without a monitoring solution, a developer could potentially spend a day working on a feature or a bug to try and resolve an issue, but now, with monitoring in place, we can understand if a customer is actually hitting this bug, how often they are hitting it, and how much frustration they are dealing with on a day-by-day basis, then reprioritize our tasks."
"It has the ability to monitor random URLs not tied to the one pinger per application (though it costs extra)."
"We like the performance of the product; it's very good, very reliable, and all features are capable of responding to our requirements."
"Give it a try, install it, and use it. I don't have to manage the server and worry about the database, storage, and VMs being up and running, etc. It is always there."
"New Relic is easy to use even for someone with no knowledge; by seeing the dashboard, they can easily find out the application's health and notice what is happening."
"I’ve gotten our teams to use New Relic to help them craft code that properly performs right out of the gate."
"The integration and configuration of New Relic is straightforward and easy."
"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."
"The one thing I really wanted to see was to getting more granular with the data, which may be coming in Insights."
"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."
"Compared to their competitors, they are missing some features at the moment."
"Errors insights have room for improvement especially error analysis part which is somewhat less compared to similar tool Splunk."
"I would like if it could have predictive analysis. Today, we only have the option to configure thresholds."
"We would like to receive more AWS-specific details from the New Relic Dashboard, like EC2 health."
"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."
"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap, but prices can go up when users grow."
"The pricing is 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."
"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."
"Pricing is better with New Relic APM than Dynatrace."
"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."
"The detection piece of it brings us a big return on investment."
"I think the pricing is reasonable."
"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
