We performed a comparison between New Relic and PagerDuty Operations Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two AIOps solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."New Relic has helped us in terms of the optimizing our print and loading times."
"The most valuable features are infrastructure monitoring and application performance monitoring (APM)."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It is easy to track and easy to follow."
"The solution is scalable, and it is easy because all the documentation is available."
"The product allows the developer to see the actual problems in the applications."
"It is stable and scalable."
"It has given us better insight into the performance of the system."
"It has helped us maintain a much higher uptime than we had previously."
"Alert deduplication and noise reduction for alerts are the major features that I found useful."
"PagerDuty let us set up rosters based on our shifts. We could assign a hierarchy for how the calls should be escalated and the number of times the call will be transferred between people before it is answered. It makes it easy to access an agent via mobile phone."
"The most valuable feature of PagerDuty is its integration with other tools, such as Amazon AWS, to receive notifications or create automatic instances."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the flexibility of the schedule. The mobile app is quite also good for what we do: for receiving alerts, acknowledging, assigning, adding new responders. It has rich features for our needs."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it adds each alert as a service, has good scheduling capabilities, and includes the ability to write logic based on texts."
"Notification is the most valuable feature."
"It reduces the amount of white noise. If something comes through, then it will alert somebody. However, if it's a bit of white noise that comes through at night, then it gets dealt with the next day. Everything is visible to everybody. It's not just a single person getting an SMS, then going, "Oh, I'm not going to worry about that." The visibility to everybody on the team is one of the great things about it because it reduces the white noise."
"The inbound integrations that PagerDuty provides with most of the DevOps tools are valuable."
"One thing I'd like to see in any APM, especially New Relic, is the ability to use distributed transactions. When one microservice calls another, it calls another database and microservice. The entire data visualization layer will not be able to correlate from one microservice from end to end and return on that path. Distributed transactions would be a great addition that would make life simpler. Unfortunately, no APM has that end-to-end capability."
"I think that there have been some questionable product enhancements. Over a year ago, New Relic rolled out a new navigation that really disrupted our workflow."
"We have had issues with our agents going offline."
"I haven't come across any features that are lacking."
"We would like to receive more AWS-specific details from the New Relic Dashboard, like EC2 health."
"There were some settings we had issues with."
"It is complicated, especially in how you interpret the data that it provides. If it had a bit more canned, out-of-the-box features, especially some of the reporting features, that would be more useful."
"The UX/UI design of New Relic APM could be improved. The solution currently has some slow pages in terms of loading and viewing the pages, for example, the reports. The reports and other pages take a long time to load."
"I am not a direct end user of PagerDuty. It's hard to consider its shortcomings in that sense."
"It’s quite hard to reach the support team."
"PagerDuty's webhooks need some improvement."
"I would like to see more content in the notification messages; although, that might be a configuration on our end."
"Because of the way you have to structure the rosters, if an engineer has to go on leave (or something), you can't just go in and reassign/take this person out of all of the different rosters that they're in. You have to go into each of the rosters and take them out. There might be a roster for business hours, after hours rotation, and monitoring deployments. Each time we need to take an engineer out of the pool, e.g., if they're sick or on leave, then we have to go and touch all of those rosters, updating and replacing them. Whereas, if we could just take the person out and have it automatically fill in the rostering, then that would make life a lot easier for managing it."
"There is room for improvement with the time schedule. The way the schedule currently works is you assign all the team members in one schedule and it automatically spreads them around throughout the schedule... It would be better to be able to edit the schedule and place my team members where I want, or at least to have that option in addition to the automatic process."
"PagerDuty should be integrated with other tools, so it can import the IT roster automatically. Our other rules continue to work once they're configured, but the roster must be added manually."
"The solution's analytics are okay. I don't think the features, at this point, give you a lot of insights. We have actually been trying to get insights from it but it hasn't really given us a lot of extra points to explore. We were looking at the number of alerts to see where many of the alerts were coming from. We never managed to get many insights on this."
