• New Relic offers many views and types of visualizations to help you understand what's going on in as much detail as you want to know.

• Easily extensible. We write many of our own monitoring plugins for Opsview and use open source Nagios community plugins as well
• Quick to deploy. Don't need to worry about all of the dependencies that you need to with something like Nagios
• It just works. Most of the housekeeping tasks are completely automated
• Nice visualizations and dashboards

• Cloud-centric / OS-centric. There is no/limited ability to query metrics with an agent installed.
• Insights-based queries (dashboards and alerts) are limited to 1000 (soon to be 2000) records and that doesn't work for enterprise scale.
• NRQL is awesome -- except when it isn't. The replacement QL is more robust but is significantly more complex to learn.
• No agent management tools in the platform. And, yes, you will want agent management tools after the first dozen or so deployments.
