Along with New Relic, our engineering and SRE teams also use PagerDuty for setting up alerts, Datadog for APM and AWS CloudWatch for infrastructure level monitoring on AWS.
AWS CloudWatch is available as a service if you use AWS. We use Datadog for things similar to New Relic. A …
There's nothing like New Relic. pingdom has an APM module but it lacks the detail of New Relic. Datadog's strength is measuring the hosting infrastructure rather than the app itself. Sometime you need APM to see what your app is doing.
New Relic is more affordable for infrastructure monitoring and had a more mature app monitoring suite (but data dog is catching up). Data dog has better predictive analytics and DB monitoring.

CloudWatch and New Relic are not exactly comparable, but it is possible to use them to create some alert. PagerDuty has more features, including on-call schedules and escalation policies.
