Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution offers good documentation.""It has given us better insight into the performance of the system.""There are many valuable features in New Relic APM. We developed some software applications and we are able to monitor the errors very easily. Their log security retention is very good.""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 most valuable feature of New Relic APM is the dashboard, New Relic Insights. I configured my own dashboard to monitor certain parameters.""The service maps that it creates, the health maps that it creates, the insights that it provides, etc., are all quite useful.""We are able to drill down and see what is going on in the system.""The feature I found most valuable is being able to design my queries. It's easy to design a query."

"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me.""Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost.""It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers.""Intuitive, Single-pane-of-glass dashboards for real-time statistics and long-term statistics for capacity management and in-depth analytics""FxV is valuable as we can playback the session.""Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur.""With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session.""The ability to track performance of an application or application suite over time is extremely valuable to our business partners and for our application development team with near real time results."

Cons
"The price could improve.""Real-user monitoring would be helpful as it would help me to really understand the client-side performance of the application.""The product has good documentation for Linux, however, their documentation for Windows is lacking substantially. It's something they need to develop.""The initial setup can be made easier. Like Mixpanel, New Relic can also have a step-by-step guide for the setup process.""The price needs improvement.""I would like to see the company implement the AI auto-baseline feature which Dynatrace has.""The APIs could be better. I would also like more APIs and features to integrate with streaming solutions, like Kinesis or Kafka.""There were some settings we had issues with."

"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections.""They need to improve the stability of FxM and FxV.""Being able to incorporate other bespoke monitoring into Foglight would have made the tool even more useful.""My only complaint from Foglight for monitoring is that you only get a plot for five minute average for metrics like CPU and Memory, on the application side I can see metrics more quickly at 15 seconds for metrics like active sessions, heap. I would like to see the same for CPU and memory.""It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment.""The version compatibility needs work.""There are some metrics I'd like to track that are difficult to find or implement into a tracking solution without a lot of manual work.""I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."

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."
  • "Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
  • "It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
  • "If it’s the right tool, it doesn’t matter what it costs because you’re going to get it back many-fold from your productivity."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • More New Relic Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I recall it being a very expensive solution relative to function and stability."
  • "The price is expensive for us."
  • "Foglight can be expensive I would go with the pricing at a three year deal."
  • "Since the product split – the licensing is a bit more complex."
