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.

Unified data workflows have empowered collaborative analytics and streamlined AI development
Regarding points for improvement for Palantir Foundry, I see that they are improving day by day. In the last one to two years, I have seen many improvements compared to the two years that I have worked on Palantir Foundry. There are many things that come up, but a few things are not intuitive enough. Now that we are in this AI phase, Palantir Foundry has created some wrappers around the models, allowing us to create using a no-code application, chatbots, and LLM functions. The problem is that interaction with outside applications can be difficult with the current setup that Palantir Foundry has. There are ways to do that, but it is not that intuitive, which is what I feel.

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 positively impacted my organization by making it easier to catch failures so I can resolve them quickly and take action."
"Sometimes, I monitor the user's time of response and use this information to improve the number of servers on the back-end. Or, I can use it to change my back log for front-end developers and improve their response times. It's very important in this case because I can improve the experience of the final user."
"Saves so much time in debugging our code and environments."
"We have been able to automate a lot of our interactions with it."
"It helps me to identify root cause on the code level issues."
"The technical support is quite good."
"We have a standard visibility process for any application that rolls out, and it gives us the ability to train our people and provide a more responsive application."
"We have had a good experience with it so far and I would recommend the solution to other organizations."
"Great features available in one tool."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"Foundry's data visualization is fantastic."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"Compared to their competitors, they are missing some features at the moment."
"The pricing could be improved as it is quite high relative to what is offered."
"Customer Service: Used rarely, was average. Technical Support: Used rarely, was average."
"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."
"From a point of view of showing you what to do fine but in terms of showing you what to do with the data infuriatingly unhelpful."
"We would like a dashboard feature to be created for this product. This would allow us to monitor both the front and back-end of our UIs performance, and then report on it."
"It constantly aggregates data so it’s not a true indication of how our application is doing."
"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."
"The one area where improvement could be made is the cost of the solution which is quite expensive."
"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"There are some issues with scalability because when we are using a really large dataset, the system is rather slow."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"The workflow could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're paying for the New Relic APM license annually."
"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."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one means cheap, and ten means very expensive."
"I think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."
"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."
"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 pricing is fine."
"It's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
