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

"Using New Relic speeds up troubleshooting and resolution, giving us a clearer picture of where issues are, thus saving time and effort."
"The monitoring so far has been good and we are happy with it."
"We have been able to automate a lot of our interactions with it."
"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."
"New Relic helped with the mean time to detection, the MTDD metric tracked for applications, where the detection capability enabled a reduction from around 20 to 30 minutes down to three minutes, which has been really helpful in terms of detecting issues as well as helping to triage and troubleshoot issues faster, creating a positive impact on the organization."
"The solution's most valuable aspects are that it tracks java better and operates very efficiently."
"It offers helpful user metrics so we can learn more about the user experience."
"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."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"Based on my huge experience with Palantir Foundry, I find that starting from the data connection to the end user application, there is a tool for everyone."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"It has been the platform for end to end data processing, manipulations, and reporting, greatly improved org's data reporting effort."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
"It's scalable."
 

Cons

"New Relic APM generates weekly performance reports, but they aren't really actionable."
"The APIs could be better. I would also like more APIs and features to integrate with streaming solutions, like Kinesis or Kafka."
"The support could improve because they are not very fast and the information was not very accurate."
"I have noticed discrepancies between New Relic's documentation and Terraform resources."
"New Relic can get pricey for larger organizations."
"New Relic does enable frontend performance monitoring by default, however, when we are troubleshooting the issue, New Relic is not able to trace back to the service where the issue is."
"There are some 5 minutes interruptions that we don't know where they come from, 24x7 confirmed the web was ok so it must be the tool."
"The biggest issue is the lack of mobile support from the website."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"The workflow could be improved. Although it works rather seamlessly, the workflow is too complicated sometimes."
"The workflow could be improved."
"I rate Palantir Foundry five out of 10. I'm ambivalent."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, and I believe that it is a competitively-priced tool."
"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."
"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."
"This solution required a license and it is better than some other competitors."
"The pricing is okay comparatively their competitors. The only concern was whether it should be purchased on demand or bring your own license, and which way passes some savings onto the end customers."
"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."
"The pricing is fine."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It's expensive."
