Rahul -Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The VPN is one of the solution's most valuable features for us."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"It has a simple initial setup."
"It is a one stop shop and integrated with PagerDuty seamlessly. The solution is pretty self-contained."
"They have baseline level alerting."
"The integration and configuration of New Relic is straightforward and easy."
"The solution is good for sending alerts, drawing graphs about system usage, and creating plug-ins."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"The predictive analytics capability within Palantir Foundry impacts financial forecasting strategies through its AIP functionality, which includes numerous pre-built models, LLMs, and data science application libraries."
"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."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
 

Cons

"I would like the ability to set up certain dummy accounts and do the actual things that the customer is doing, without impacting the production environment."
"New Relic can get pricey for larger organizations."
"It would help customers if there were an on-premises version available."
"We have had issues with our agents going offline."
"I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues."
"In addition, its difficult to have a predictive tool to see how the application would behave in the future when it basically only shows the historical data."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment needs improvement on the filtering part. I would like it to go more granular on accounts."
"There were some settings we had issues with."
"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The workflow could be improved."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"The major hindrance with Palantir Foundry is that being a very closed product, the cost optimization and costing are not exposed to the end users."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing could be better. We did not purchase the full version. Maybe if we applied all the other features of the full version of New Relic, we could get all the features that we feel are missing."
"Because of budget, we are not using the mobile app part of this tool."
"The pricing is fine."
"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."
"It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
"The solution is less expensive than AppNeta."
"I loved this product, but we can no longer afford it, so we dropped 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."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
