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

"Given we have only one infrastructure guy and he can manage all of this, and a small team, everyone can use it all for different purposes."
"In my opinion, New Relic is a good tool, and if a colleague was asking my opinion, I would say "Go ahead and use it!" It is a good solution."
"To me, the most valuable feature of New Relic APM is the traceability, mainly based on the time travel method, so you get the overall response time, which is pretty helpful for developers and ADR techs looking into issues on a deeper level. New Relic APM is a very good, tailor-made solution."
"We looked for a product that gives the data in a way that is easy to visualize, is reliable, and is simple."
"What I like best about New Relic APM is its user interface because it's simple. The most valuable feature of New Relic APM is end-to-end monitoring."
"In my experience, New Relic is one of the best APM tools."
"One valuable feature is that the synthetic alert stays open until the issue is resolved."
"The most valuable feature is New Relic Insights, and our customers are happy with the dashboard and the data that it displays and the correlation between the components."
"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 solution should include more detailed reports for SQL database requests."
"I haven't come across any features that are lacking."
"It’s generally stable, but last year it was a little flaky."
"The only limitation we experience is with Insights query limit of 1,000 transactions."
"It doesn't give us rich process tracing, which is the only complaint I have."
"The older view is much better than the new view that they have. We'd like to go back to that previous version."
"Raw transaction didn’t give us data that we needed."
"The pricing model. New Relic can be expensive for growing startups."
"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is fine."
"The solution is quite expensive. It costs around $5,000 a month. There aren't any additional costs above that."
"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, and I believe that it is a competitively-priced tool."
"This is an expensive tool."
"Pricing is better with New Relic APM than Dynatrace."
"The solution is less expensive than AppNeta."
"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
