New Relic is best suited when it comes to onboarding as it provides monitoring in an environment. With its extensive API and well-placed feature, it works smoothly when incorporated in a script or any third-party application. We have managed to onboard monitoring for 20+ applications at a go and establish integration between service management tools so that alert flow can be converted into the incident for better operational management.

New Relic's APM Feature Is a Game Changer For Ruby on Rails

I think New Relic's APM is a great feature if you are running Ruby on Rails because ActiveRecord can abstract away the actual performance of your endpoint logic. It very easily allows you to identify endpoints that are taking too long, endpoints that have good throughput, and how the overall functionality is affecting the end-user experience. It also has many other monitoring features that can be great for companies that manage their own infrastructure.

New Relic is done well when it comes to the need for a solution that is flexible, whether it be for APM, distributed tracing, infrastructure, workloads, synthetics, and service level management. New Relic doesn't stop at only being one type of observability platform, but also has a good level of auto-telemetry for Kubernetes and is powered by a VM-construct. Also, New Relic may be less suited for those who may not need all of these components, even if it is worthwhile to get.

New Relic is well suited for gathering the logs from all of our servers, later on enabling [us] to query them (also in real-time) for debugging purposes. It's also built for helping [to monitor] our servers and comparing stats backward in order to see the trends in our servers' performance.

New Relic is well suited for eyes on monitoring of live systems, in our case a high transaction eCommerce platform giving across the board metrics on throughput, errors, infrastructure performance, and distributed system performance. Its log ingestion and presentation is not as good as saying Splunk is, particularly for querying but could have more potential if it could be tied to its error analytics and alerting, that would be game-changing.

New Relic is a great tool and a great alternative for any engineering team who would like to understand what is going on with their APIs. It can monitor backends and frontends which is great. Alerting is hard to configure but works well. Integration with other products is a plus.

New Relic has so many great features that would be helpful but it come with an expensive price tag. If your company only needs some part of it, I do recommend choosing the less pricey one or just building your monitoring system using open source. But if your company growth is doing great and you want to improve by having visibility in each aspect of your system and integrating with business needs, New Relic is the way.

For testing or production live monitoring purposes, it's sufficient to use New Relic for general monitoring and reporting. But for deep-dive analysis or tracking its strength needs to be further improved, and some additional features might need to be added. Alerting is good enough for our own testing activities.

You can come a long way with open source alternatives, that don't have the same monetary impact. It depends on familiarity - if you have no prior experience in monitoring New Relic is extremely fast and easy to get started with. If in a company where some previous alternatives exist, you might be better of extending those.

A must-have tool for [businesses that] have lots of traffic and would like to monitor how [the] system is performing during high busy times. Great on tracing down an issue from [a] server/backend perspective. The browser tool is great as well for capturing JS-based errors but it doesn't capture all errors. It captures 9 out of 10 issues in most cases but some of the hard ones are not captured here (ie. operating system level error which doesn't reach to New Relic system and dies before that).

New Relic is well suited for complex applications with microservice architecture, this is where the Trace ID feature, dependency overview and APM can pay off. It might be less appropriate for simple or monolith applications. Client-side browser error logging is somewhat hard to integrate without much overhead on the client side.

For a simple use case, like monitoring the overall server's health, New Relic will be well suited for this task as it required minimal configuration and many important signals already come out of the box. It also has New Relic Query Language which is a SQL-like language that is very easy and intuitive to use. This can be set up to capture a simple metric of your application however if your use case needs to capture somewhat more complicated metrics, you may need to spend a lot of time figuring out how to do that in New Relic. The dashboard is easy to set up but it doesn't support parameterization from the user's input so you may need to do cut-and-paste to apply the same dashboard for all different environments/configurations that you interested in

The perfect use case is to find memory leak issues by New Relic APM - it shows memory usage and GC metrics in real-time which can help us to narrow down when this occurred across timelines. We also inspect the errors and network transactions monitored by New Relic during our app release to make sure there is no unusual high ratio on those. The summary is a good place to catch all the important info on one page for the app's health and performance.
