Excellent tool for resource management and alerts
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We work with a different e-commerce clients and we need a way to monitor their servers, checking resource usage and service status, to be able to be proactive and solve any issue that may happen on production and development environments. New Relic allows us to configure very precise alerts and monitoring features, and offers lots of ways to deliver those alerts and updates.
Pros
- AWS resource monitoring
- Flexibility in types and parameters of alerts
- Integration with messaging platforms
Cons
- Monitoring based on customer data
- Custom services monitoring
Likelihood to Recommend
New Relic its an excellent tool for monitoring services used on the SAAS universe, like web servers, relational and nosql dbms, reverse proxies, text databases, etc. Its also a powerful tool to monitor resource usage on said servers.
However, its not well fitted to monitor custom services - if you need to generate alerts based on logs or database information, for example.
