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.

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

"There are many things, but in particular I like the real-time monitoring; we get to know when a specific service or specific URL is failing and not performing, and we can set certain delivery thresholds which, if broken, we hear about immediately."
"It is one of the things that helps DevOps work in our organization and has helped stop finger pointing."
"The most valuable feature of New Relic APM is the dashboard, New Relic Insights. I configured my own dashboard to monitor certain parameters."
"The ease of use, the information you can get out of it from the very little things you do – you get so much out of it."
"Both developers and operations people can look at the same data, and that’s a great benefit."
"I can have my developers find bugs and fix them in one-tenth of time they used to take."
"New features are added often."
"If someone reports an issue we’ll always go to New Relic first; that’s where it becomes a good product in and of itself."
"Foundry's data visualization is fantastic."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"It has been the platform for end to end data processing, manipulations, and reporting, greatly improved org's data reporting effort."
"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."
 

Cons

"I've heard Dynatrace say that New Relic's pricing model was very expensive, so that would be a concern."
"They don't have an opportunity to share the dashboard with the public. If you want to share it with stakeholders or people outside the organization who just want to have a look at a couple of metrics, you can't do that without onboarding them to the product itself."
"Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment needs improvement on the filtering part."
"There has been some problem with the agent, and it is just not working well. It is not able to record information with the application server. They have been able to fix the issue, but it took quite a long time. This is the main issue in the APM products and also in New Relic. The mobile application monitoring has been pretty difficult to set up and also quite expensive. It should be a little bit easier and cheaper. Because it is pretty difficult and expensive, many customers don't take it."
"The one thing I really wanted to see was to getting more granular with the data, which may be coming in Insights."
"The solution should include more detailed reports for SQL database requests."
"New Relic can be improved by incorporating an automated incident analysis solution."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"There are some issues with scalability because when we are using a really large dataset, the system is rather slow."
"The one area where improvement could be made is the cost of the solution which is quite expensive."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution could be less expensive. You have to pay a lot for each user. There is an additional cost for extra features."
"The solution is quite expensive. It costs around $5,000 a month. There aren't any additional costs above that."
"New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing and licensing are too high."
"We're paying for the New Relic APM license annually."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
