Has a simple user interface and end-to-end monitoring and self-healing features
My organization uses many application performance management solutions, such as AppDynamics, New Relic APM, Splunk, and Datadog. I'm the CTO for the state of Hawaii, and across the board, different departments use different APM tools. I'm using the latest version of New Relic APM, but I cannot recall the exact version. My company has a dozen engineers using and monitoring New Relic APM. I'd tell anyone planning to use New Relic APM that it has to fit what you have. For example, most of my company's payload is in AWS, and the tool has adopters and features that CloudWatch cannot provide. Still, New Relic APM can, so you should do a demo or trial run first and see if it's a tool that'll help you with end-to-end monitoring. New Relic APM is working well for my company, so an excellent way to start is to do a trial run to see how the tool works out for your current applications. My rating for the tool is nine out of ten because my experience with it has been great. New Relic also worked closely with my company and has always been upfront on what's available and what's not. My company is a New Relic APM customer.

Simplifies monitoring and provides real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise
The product has improved our organization by simplifying monitoring and giving real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise. If we notice five devices with latency or errors, I wouldn't know that if I didn't command line into 800 devices and check every day. I can see the status on the dashboard and it just makes it easy to know where the problems are. If we didn't have that capability by using Statseeker, then it would be very complex to monitor. We'd need to have another tool or manually log into every device to try to check things. And this product just does it all for us. That streamlines and improves our workload so that we only need to have two people in our office for the network team. It improves availability. If a circuit goes down texts and email alerts get sent out. So, even if it's in the evening or we're not on premises, we'll know if something's down. We use it all the time because it really helps.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The synthetic alert is the most valuable feature in New Relic APM. I also like the time travel feature and find traceability useful in the solution. New Relic APM also has good response times."
"Working with the solution is very easy. It's user-friendly."
"They instrument up from the bottom to the top – every piece of code - they have a very perfect read of what’s being done, and how long it’s taking."
"What I like best about New Relic APM is its user interface because it's simple. The most valuable feature of New Relic APM is end-to-end monitoring."
"One valuable feature is that the synthetic alert stays open until the issue is resolved. You can actually monitor whether your system is back up."
"We have done the New Relic integration with Serverless AWS, which has helped us with monitoring, and keeping our monitoring from our on-premise part with the cloud part."
"The breakdown of the response time of different components and getting in-depth details of the slow component are the most valuable features. It is easy to use, and it gets the job done."
"Their technical support is pretty good and responsive. We have a real good relationship with them."
"Device grouping is very easy, and you can discover thousands of devices in a few minutes."
"The product simplifies monitoring by providing real-time alerts through a GUI dashboard, email and texts."
"Key features for us are custom reporting, 95th Percentile, and trend lines."
"We were having some issues with a certain site, and it was only Statseeker that showed us what the problem was."
"If somebody is complaining about slow networking then this solution allows us to see various ports to find out whether they are being overloaded."
"Summary Reports provide a quick way to identify where potential issues are. Drill-downs provide more granular details very quickly."
"The solution reduces the complexity of our network monitoring because it can make my engineers do their jobs faster. The solution also reduces troubleshooting time for network administrators to pinpoint issues quicker."
"The monitoring provided by this solution helps us to track down and solve issues."
 

Cons

"They need to improve the alerting and dashboarding as these are the key features in DevOps."
"I would like a feature where I can turn off alerting at a policy level. Thus, when a policy is inactive, I can shut down all of my alerts within the policy."
"I would like to see the company implement the AI auto-baseline feature which Dynatrace has."
"There are times when you restart the engines and the servers have a unique ID for the host and you need to remove the server. It is difficult because some are on-premise and others are production hosts. Having downtime is not very good when updating. However, it is not a constant issue."
"The solution needs to have staging."
"Some of our customers see New Relic as a promising product to have, and we would like to deliver it to them. The only way we would be able to do that would be if we had server appliance for clients that we could install in their data centres."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues."
"It would be nice if they had twenty-four-hour technical support because we contact Australia and we have to wait for them to open."
"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."
"It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license."
"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."
"The user interface needs a great deal of improvement."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
"I'd say the interface could improve a little bit. I find with new users, I tend to have to spend a bit of time walking them through how to use the interface. It could be a little more user friendly."
"There is a little bit of room to improve in the alerting section to give some more options there. It's all I can think of right now off the top of my head."
 

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."
"Pricing is better with New Relic APM than Dynatrace."
"I think the pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing model is a little confusing for beginners. They find it a little expensive, and if you are using it already, then that is not good."
"The solution is priced reasonably. New Relic APM is one of the best products for me because it's economical, so anyone can easily pick it over other solutions and use it."
"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."
"I think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
"The detection piece of it brings us a big return on investment."
"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
"This tool would probably be priced well if it had deeper NetFlow capabilities, but for our use case, in particular, we're only recovering ports after ninety days and looking at circuit congestion, it's pretty pricey."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
"It's probably $5K a year for the license."
"We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
