New Relic - Worth the Price

We use it to monitor the server resources like CPU, RAM, Disk, network, etc. On top of that, we also use logging and APM features to monitor the application closely.
  • Monitors the server infrastructure.
  • Monitors APM on the application level.
  • Custom dashboards can be built to monitor the application more closely.
Cons
  • New Hosts in Infrastructure is cluttered and tough to use.
  • Logging is a new feature and needs UI improvement.
  • Learn the metrics from the past and acknowledge the known anomalies automatically.
It is well suited to monitor the infrastructure, APM, and logs. Not so useful when it comes to monitoring the individual software like databases, queues, cache, etc.

A great alternative to the expensive APM products

New Relic is being used as a primary Application performance management and cloud services monitoring tool. We are using enterprise applications, infrastructure applications, and legacy business applications in a hybrid model and New Relic is monitoring applications availability, server, and database performance in conjunction to cloud services metrics. Application owners and infrastructure teams are the core users.
  • Application performance management.
  • Cloud services.
  • Application tracing.
Cons
  • ITSM workflow integrations.
  • Auto remediation.
  • Event correlation.
There are many business use cases where New Relic can fit into the picture, it is considered as the observability platform, not merely a monitoring tool. Application performance monitoring and management are one of the core capabilities however it can do server monitoring, platform monitoring, database monitoring, and cloud services monitoring.

Value of money with New Relic APM

We have used New Relic for application performance monitoring. Our product being B2C, we need to monitor the performance 24 * 7 for the best experience for our customers. At the same time, when a customer faces any issue, our Technology team requires all the necessary details to assess, debug and identify the root cause. New Relic has assisted in both the ways to proactively monitor and provide finer details to assist during an issue as well.
  • 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.
Cons
  • 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 is well suited for Microservices and Kubernetes-based applications as it has finer support for service discovery and distributed tracing. It has also had a native agent for Kubernetes which discovers the health of all running nodes and pods.
New Relic could be improved for mobile apps and logs though these are their recent offerings

New Relic APM is magic. Simple to implement and gives visibility of everything. Not cheap

We use New Relic's APM product primarily for visibility of our PHP Web applications.
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

New Relic is configured at our main company website. It is used to view traffic load, CPU load, memory load, response time, latencies and errors. Since the website uses a very heavy back end, New Relic gives us detailed information regarding all processes that cause the most latency. We can then drill down to the heaviest processes and perform tweaks with surgical precision. This helped us to make the website at least 80% faster which we couldn't have done otherwise. After this period of tweaking, we did not use New Relic very often. In fact, I don't think it's very relevant for us right now.
  • Drilling down into processes to code level.
  • Detailed information regarding unhandled errors.
Cons
  • Drilling down into code sometimes stops once you get to a point where you can't go any further.
  • Client side load profiling is not always helpful.
Well suited to find the processes that cause the bulk of CPU load, network load, memory load etc., etc. Find very detailed logging on unhandled errors that you wouldn't have found out without New Relic. You can drill down into the function tree to get to that single database call that caused the website 6 seconds to load.
