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

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

"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."

"Working with the solution is very easy; it's user-friendly and overall it's a good product from what we have evaluated."

"They instrument up from the bottom to the top – every piece of code - they have a very perfect read of what’s being done, and how long it’s taking."

"As New Relic is already integrated with Drupal, we can get our projects done with best practice and with the best value that we believe in."

"It is easier to create new dashboards in the New Relic interface, and it is also easier to query if when I want to monitor a different parameter or time duration on my dashboard."

"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."

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

"The licensing cost is a little high and it should be brought down."

"It gives you amazing statistics, but doesn’t give you enough information about what to do with the statistics."

"It would be nice if there were pre-made dashboards. There should be out-of-the-box options that you can have."

"There are certain features that are not supported in New Relic, such as CATSEARCH, which allows you to do a full-text search."

"More instruments with .NET and asynchronous calls, and New Relic says it’s on the way."

"New Relic APM is a good tool, and it has a database of failures, but it could use a list of customer-specific failures. New Relic APM should be able to give my company advanced analytics through AI."

"If we can find a way to communicate the need to use it, we use it, but we want a way to hand it off to our clients easily."

"New Relic can be improved in a few areas. I noticed that some things can be easily done through Splunk but not through 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

"The solution is cheap, but prices can go up when users grow."

"I recommend using the free version of New Relic. If you like the free version and understand its importance for your company, you can move to the trial. Then, you can migrate to the paid version."

"Because of budget, we are not using the mobile app part of this tool."

"The solution is quite expensive. It costs around $5,000 a month. There aren't any additional costs above that."

"We're paying for the New Relic APM license annually."

"This is an expensive product."

"This solution required a license and it is better than some other competitors."

"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."

More New Relic pricing and cost advice

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