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 alert mechanism is quite accurate when something goes wrong in your system. For example, if you have hundreds of APIs on your server, and any of the APIs is not performing well, you get an alert. When there is a drop or change in the threshold value, the beauty of New Relic is that within a fraction of seconds, all the stakeholders who are configured in the New Relic system will get an alert. That's one good thing."
"We were able to save $1,000 per month."
"We have done the New Relic integration with Serverless AWS, which has helped us with monitoring, and keeping our monitoring from our on-premise part with the cloud part."
"We’re able to see real-time sessions come through, talk directly to customers as they’re having issues with the site, and pull up their email addresses to see what issues they have, which makes it crucial for customer support and engineering."
"New Relic has proven itself as a very reliable and convenient way to monitor your servers and applications."
"It has given us better insight into the performance of the system, allowing us to prepare things, if necessary."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The solution is good for sending alerts, drawing graphs about system usage, and creating plug-ins."
"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

"We had a problem where our application crashed because of New Relic."
"Probably make the query language a little bit easier."
"It hasn’t scaled quite right now. We use another tool for out-of-gate view."
"The price needs improvement."
"Error handling and reporting is a little lackluster, but they're announcing a whole new analytics approach."
"The only limitation we experience is with Insights query limit of 1,000 transactions."
"It’s really powerful with a lot of features, but some training and documentation from New Relic would be useful."
"I haven't come across any features that are lacking."
"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price was one of the reasons we chose this solution."
"Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
