- changing every year licence model
- K8S functionality
Powerful Tool With Overly Complicated UI
- Site speed monitoring
- Flexible solutions
- Dynamic reporting
- Platform is very technical
- Hard to use & help resources are slim
- Pricing is confusing
- Distributed tracing
- Instrumentation of breakdown of APIs
- calculation of time in Database calls
- Graph view of distributed tracing
- See difference after deployment of performance fix.
- Support for SQL like query with more functional features of analysis while viewing distributed tracing.
- support for very low level specific integration from APIs to classes to functions to piece of code
- More detailed documentation, as we faced issues while integrating for the first time.
New-relic is less appropriate when you want to do logging of your system. As it does not emits every single calls.
New Relic APM is magic. Simple to implement and gives visibility of everything. Not cheap
It is our eyes to detect errors, performance losses, anomalies, distributed transactions, database performance, external services.
We also use Synthetic Monitoring, Infrastructure, Logs and all proactive alerts and event correlators.
We have been using New Relic for 7 years
- APM
- Anomalies Detector

Best APM solution for full-stack web developers
- Application Performance Monitoring
- Transaction tracing
- Error logging
- PHP error logging misses the first line of stack traces
I can't think of a scenario where New Relic is not appropriate - I use it on every web site I develop and manage.
Observability Swiss Pocket Knife
- Dashboarding over multiple layers
- Alerting
- Synthetics monitoring
- Ease of adoption
- Usermodel
- Pricing
New Relic - get to the root of the problem quickly
- UI organizes data in a relevant and easy understood way.
- Installed agent is easy to configure and maintain.
- Agent is lightweight and consumes few server resources.
- Licensing plans keep changing.
- Longer data history would be nice.
Single source of truth
- Monitoring / observability
- visulaisation
- huge set of integrations
- I'm not involved but apparently the pricing model isn't great
The visulaisation tools also make it great to be able to explain issues to more novice or business users and do clever dashboards to spot anomalies or highlight potential issues.
One of the Best Tools for Full Stack Monitoring
- Infrastructure monitoring both on-prem and cloud
- Application and end-user monitoring
- Alerting and notification mechanism
- Can improve on side of synthetics monitoring
- Can improve on NRQL from, enable us to query from multiple tables
- Seems to be pushing new features frequently, better if users can be notified about the new add-ons in a bit of detail beforehand.
- Synthetic monitoring
- Alerting
- APM insights
- License cost are high
Great service for performance and full stack analysis.
- Alert on performance degradation
- Fast relay of data from host agent to NewRelic
- Easy debugging of our code stack
- Integration of services such as RDS where we don't have direct host access.
- Multiple issues with the interface.
- gives us an monitoring of all our underlying servers and also we can configure some alerts upon them like CPU and memory alerts.
- Kubernetes cluster monitoring with new relic for EKS gives us and minute details of our cluster utilisation like node usage, pods memory request and limits
- Network traceability for each and every request with response time analysis is great we can trace which component is responsible for generating response delay
- log managements of the logs the infrastructure is generating we can view logs through there only
- firstly when we are integrating the tool with our infrastructure at that time we have faced some issues but afterwards it was smooth
- some testing of configuration should be done from UI only and not by user who has to generate the error in order to visualise it in new relic
An SRE swiss army knife
- APM
- Infrastructure Monitoring
- Alerting
- Logging
- Usability at times - does too many things in some scenarios
- Feature overload sometimes
New Relic at a glance.
- Gather data: the integrations and data collection helped us setup.
- Organise data: the way we can investigate issues and usage profiles is really useful and accessible.
- The interface sometimes fails, giving no values for a certain range. This sometimes happens, which maims our confidence a little bit, but it seems to be an all-or-nothing issue (meaning when the data is there, it is always correct).
Excellent Performance Monitoring
- Monitoring of system metrics
- Collection of performance data related to applications
- Collation of various data collected from a variety of sources
- There could be an improvement of the agent's ability to collect certain application information
- Depending upon the amount of data stored in New Relic, storage costs are little higher than I would've expected
Acquia site monitoring tool
- Integrated tightly in Acquia environment
- Easy to setup
- Granular reports and statistics
- Easy to forget about it as the integration is seamless
- Interface can be very confusing as there are many parameters being monitored
Help understand your application and also allocate better your infrastructure resources
- Performance metrics are great.
- Connection between systems is fantastic, especially when you're working with microservices.
- The breakdown of pieces in the application is very nice.
- The price is still high compared with competitors.
- If you want to stay on the free plan, there's not much to compare since you will lose the history.
New Relic in my day-to-day
- Monitor customer's availability.
- Detect errors/violations.
- Simplify the way to view graphs, logs, responses.
- Improve NR response times.
- Include a functionality to test the monitors before creating them and see the results.
A University's perspective on New Relic
- Detailed insight into application bottlenecks.
- Excellent instrumentation and customizable dashboards.
- Integration with other products (e.g. StatusPage and PagerDuty) to provide a versatile ecosystem.
- Vulnerability Management has been recently added, but lacks support for key development languages such as .NET and PHP. Supporting these would greatly assist our organisation.
New Relic for real-time alerts
- Very thorough with alerts and emails.
- Immediate responses to issues.
- Provided a great weekly summary for traffic and issues.
- Alert management was difficult at first -- you really get too many if you don't curate them.
- The setup and fine-tuning took us a bit to figure out, but settled down after we normalized.
NewRelic: What an amazing monitoring tool!
- Provide insights about application performance
- Help to identify possible code application bugs
- Integration with several programming languages
- Monitoring and alerting
- I would like to see sort of simulator inside the user interface, that way we can send requests directly from it to test some configuration instead of setting up a test environment in our end.
- It would be nice if the data ingestion can be filtered by APM's. That way we can know which application is ingested most data.
- It would be nice if we could ingest logs (apache, system logs, and other logs) and correlate them with the APM.
On the other hand, from our point of view, it wouldn't be suitable for monitoring infrastructure. In our case we use many built-in AWS services to monitor several components of our AWS resources, among with CloudWatch custom metrics.
New Relic continues to be the tool of choice for APM and Metrics
- Infrastructure Monitoring and Alerting
- Application Performance Monitoring and Alerting
- Tracking business and product related KPI's and metrics.
- Dashboards for NOC and the customer facing teams.
- APM tool has an extensive coverage across various programming languages, and frameworks.
- Scales pretty well without any issues. The agents are lightweight and easy to upgrade and deploy.
- The Apdex based alerts are quite accurate and act like trustable guardians to anything going off-track in the system.
- The tools to monitor usage, and optimise are poor. Since they have moved to consumption based pricing, it's important for users to track the places where wastage is happening (Users not logging in the system, data points from services that are not read from queries, etc).
- The AI tools should have smarter capabilities to track the lineage of an anomaly and help pin-point to the exact source of any error.
- The new pricing model works best for consumer facing companies where the end-end stack can be used. For B2B companies where the UI components are not that heavy, the pricing is prohibitive beyond a certain point.
- Works well for elastic demand on the infrastructure - scaling up/down works seamlessly.
- Architectures that need APM, metrics (application and infrastructure) together. This gives the best value of their products.
- UI Monitoring capabilities still need work.
- Less Suited
- Architectures that already have tools like Prometheus configured. The value for New Relic won't shine in such use-cases.
- If the volumes of data transmitted to New Relic exceed 5-10TB per day. The costs will exorbitant in such scenarios.
New Relic - The Versatile Monitoring Tool.
- Wide variety of devices that can be added in monitoring.
- Ease of use and user friendly GUI.
- Ability to customize the monitoring parameters as per requirements.
- Dependency on having to install agent on devices.
- Incompatibility to add qumulo\Isilon storage devices.
- Need to improve the ability to review the logs to perform event co-relation.
Value of money with New Relic APM
- Finer stacktrace i.e line by line time taken and highlights the faulty code precisely.
- Apdex score indicates that something is wrong with the application immediately.
- Near real time metrics and alerts.
- Integration with many platforms and tools.
- Finer control on what metrics are sent to New Relic Platform to control the costs as it has pricing based on GB of metrics ingested.
- UX/UI could be improved as some pages are a bit slow or difficult to view though it provides good information to act upon.
- Have the option to choose a Cloud provider to keep data within the country and also restrict access based on IP address so that we could control New Relic console access.
New Relic could be improved for mobile apps and logs though these are their recent offerings
