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 gives us one view over all our assets."
"Their technical support is pretty good and responsive. We have a real good relationship with them."
"The versatility of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"The scalability of New Relic APM is good; we have not had any issue with scalability when we use different types of loads, and it worked very well."
"With the help of New Relic APM, we managed to deliver an online B2B application with average response times below two seconds, where with v6, the average response times was about 30 seconds."
"Constantly seeing the green status of all my servers makes me sleep well at night."
"Working with the solution is very easy; it's user-friendly and overall it's a good product from what we have evaluated."
"They have baseline level alerting."
"Foundry's data visualization is fantastic."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"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 interface is really user-friendly."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
 

Cons

"I'd like a way to pull charts and data into third-party services. If we can pull that data and recreate charts, that would be great."
"The docs in API and dashboards seem to be a little behind and overly verbose, I don’t want to have to jump back and forth."
"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."
"Overall, New Relic is not as good as Dynatrace."
"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."
"I chose a rating of 8 out of 10 because the UI requires me to dig in and find the needed traces, and it can be more user-friendly."
"Email alert customization is limited."
"In the first stage, the area of development, infrastructure and communication portal."
"I rate Palantir Foundry five out of 10. I'm ambivalent."
"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."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"There are some issues with scalability because when we are using a really large dataset, the system is rather slow."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I remember it correctly, the pricing was based on the core, and the monthly subscription used to cost us $1,500 or $2,000. We had pre-prod and production services. Costing was different for pre-prod and production. For pre-prod, it was 40% less than the production service cost. It was a combined package."
"There is a picture which goes to your browser and it monitors requests from other users. However, it's impossible to use now because the price is very high. The feature is very nice, but I tried it during the trial period, and the current price makes it impossible to use."
"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."
"This is an expensive product."
"We're paying for the New Relic APM license annually."
"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."
"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."
"I think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
"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."
