Blue Triangle vs. New Relic

Amazing help and knowledge has been assembled, but Blue Triangle Group's customer service is exceptional. Because they make us feel like the most important customer every time we speak, they have a genuine belief in our success. You can count on the support team to keep an eye on your account and offer fresh ideas to our discussions.

New - relic is well suited if you want to analyse the performance of your services and you want to improve it. Integration with multiple services with same account gives a clear picture of flow of your APIs if you have micro-service architecture. New-relic is less appropriate when you want to do logging of your system. As it does not emits every single calls

• Ease of usability.
• Very responsive to our business requirements.
• Increase your business revenue.

• 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

• Since percentage change is used instead of a real-time shift in comparison charts, they are more difficult to read and evaluate quickly.
• Unlike other website performance monitoring solutions, we are unable to compare data from different time periods.
• The portal's interface may use some cleaning up.

• 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.

The only issue that we have had with New Relic is that the price might be a little expensive for smaller companies. The amount of data you store in New Relic impacts the cost, and can get away from you if you don't work closely with the vendor. Overall though the application is top notch.

As an engineer, New Relic has been very quick and easy for me to pick up/install/use. It has been less easy for some of the less technical-minded folks in our organization and their UI still is inconsistent multiple years after refactoring their platform to be New Relic One.

There are times I feel that the initial support is lacking. And in some cases the automated responses of not hearing anything are annoying if the reason why there has been no movement is because we are still waiting to hear back from NR support. So, i think they should loose the automation as it can seem disingenuous

It's better to start by implementing New Relic in one project and test everything. Try to follow best recommended practices and read all the official documentation. Everything seems well tested. Then, start by installing agents to the rest of your projects and keep a close look to all logs and metrics New Relic gives you.

blackfire.io can be easier to analyze for the consumer, but overall get the same result.

New Relic is the most full-featured offering that we've found, and is incredibly easy to start using with a PHP app. The New Relic agent is installed as a PHP extension so it is able to monitor and track the performance of any PHP app being run by the web server. Other tools required the installation and setup of a PHP dependency at the application level.

Agent deployment is easily integrated into our workflow. Adding the agent to new servers is quick and painless

• The portal's ease of use, regular updates, and the feature roadmap all seem to prioritize the end user and actual use cases
• Having a better understanding of where my site's visitors are going has led to beneficial outcomes for my business

Incentivized

• Less time debugging issues or letting issues go unknown
• We know of issues before our customers
• One common tool for logs, apm, infrastructure, and most alerting. Makes for easier developer experience.
• Cost is expensive and is one of highest engineering spends
