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."
"Both developers and operations people can look at the same data, and that’s a great benefit."
"New Relic helps us to improve our team quality and to get our projects done with best practices."
"NewRelic provides a one-stop shop monitoring solution for organizations that are looking for 360 degree monitoring solution: Application, Infrastructure, Network, Database, Enduser monitoring, Mobile everything under one roof."
"You don't have to go through a list of 500 servers."
"It supports our Black Friday week, when our requests increase about 500 percent."
"The breakdown of the response time of different components and getting in-depth details of the slow component are the most valuable features. It is easy to use, and it gets the job done."
"New Relic APM is a very good, tailor-made solution."
"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

"The pricing model. New Relic can be expensive for growing startups."
"There has been some problem with the agent, and it is just not working well. It is not able to record information with the application server. They have been able to fix the issue, but it took quite a long time. This is the main issue in the APM products and also in New Relic. The mobile application monitoring has been pretty difficult to set up and also quite expensive. It should be a little bit easier and cheaper. Because it is pretty difficult and expensive, many customers don't take it."
"Alerts tend to show how an entire cluster is performing, and not only that a given node is having an issue."
"It would be nice if there were pre-made dashboards. There should be out-of-the-box options that you can have."
"The deployment process could be improved."
"Raw transaction didn’t give us data that we needed."
"Probably make the query language a little bit easier."
"I think the APM mode can be improved. In addition, its difficult to have a predictive tool to see how the application would behave in the future when it basically only shows the historical data."
"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're paying for the New Relic APM license annually."
"The pricing and licensing are good if you have an account manager and a partner manager who are looking to help out."
"New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
"The solution is quite expensive. It costs around $5,000 a month. There aren't any additional costs above that."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I think the pricing is reasonable."
"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
