Good for application Performance Monitoring but not stable
There are two types of teams we have in every organization. One is for DevOps, and the second one is for performance testing. Those who are using these tools, like AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or whatever tool we have on the APM side. These tools are used by two teams: one is the performance team, and another one is the DevOps team. So, the setup and the alert system belong to the DevOps team, not for performance. So, I don't use any alerts in AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or any of the tools.
Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to receive in-depth information about applications. It can detect a lot of important information."
"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."
"It is a one stop shop and integrated with PagerDuty seamlessly. The solution is pretty self-contained."
"The most valuable features are the dashboards and tracing."
"Every time there is a crisis, high traffic, or if we see a problem with a server, we go to New Relic and monitor it to determine the cause."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage the application flow."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"It's scalable."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"Great features available in one tool."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
 

Cons

"They need to improve the alerting and dashboarding as these are the key features in DevOps."
"The initial setup can be made easier. Like Mixpanel, New Relic can also have a step-by-step guide for the setup process."
"New Relic needs to improve is the user data schema."
"I would like to see the company implement the AI auto-baseline feature which Dynatrace has."
"The price could improve."
"I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues."
"I would like an infrastructure network that provides real-time views, showing the issues."
"New Relic APM could improve error debugging and the correlation with the logs. We are receiving some alerts or alarms but we need to correlate with the error log, but it is difficult if it is more than seven months retention period, it is hard to trace. We need this especially for getting historical information."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"The workflow could be improved."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"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."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
"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."
"We feel it's a little bit pricey."
"Pricing is better with New Relic APM than Dynatrace."
"The pricing and licensing are too high."
"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was easy. The product is easy to deploy and manage, which is why our company purchased through the AWS Marketplace."
"They gave us aggressive discounts when they were brought in for the first time, but they have also kept them for the year-on-year renewals, which has been absolutely fine."
"This is an expensive product."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
