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 most valuable features are infrastructure monitoring and application performance monitoring (APM)."

"New Relic shows how much time each SQL transaction (SQL query) is taking to execute, so the client can pinpoint the query and modify it so that it takes less time to execute."

"It allows the restriction of privileges and control of users."

"There are many things, but in particular I like the real-time monitoring; we get to know when a specific service or specific URL is failing and not performing, and we can set certain delivery thresholds which, if broken, we hear about immediately."

"We appreciate the way that this solution allows us to monitor the ongoing status of the UI at any given time."

"Without APM, you can guess where the problem is, but with APM, you can actually see where it is, which is nice to know."

"It helps me to identify root cause on the code level issues."

"Error rates are a good indicator for potential rollbacks for a potential deployment – and usually it’s pretty instantaneous."

More New Relic pros

"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

"Some of the 3rd party plugins could be improved - especially the requirement for java to monitor simple network services is not ideal."

"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."

"They don't have an opportunity to share the dashboard with the public. If you want to share it with stakeholders or people outside the organization who just want to have a look at a couple of metrics, you can't do that without onboarding them to the product itself."

"I think New Relic can be more simple to use because for beginners it can be more difficult to use, so I think New Relic can improve in that aspect."

"The solution needs to have staging."

"There are certain scenarios where I feel additional functionalities could enhance New Relic, such as gaining more data about calls."

"I'd like second-by-second monitoring, instead of a five-minute lag time."

"We had a problem where our application crashed because of New Relic."

More New Relic cons

"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comparatively, the pricing is expensive."

"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, and I believe that it is a competitively-priced tool."

"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 pricing and licensing are too high."

"The price depends on how many agents you want."

"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."

"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."

"It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."

More New Relic pricing and cost advice

"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
