New Relic Reviews

We were already using the cloud before New Relic, but we could cut our costs by 2/3 by understanding where we could cost and buy a cheap and better infrastructure that suits our needs.

No, it didn’t. We found it’s ability to deploy to the cloud and provide real insight was very weak in AWS.

What we could clearly notice is the fact that in our case New Relic accelerates the cloud adoption rate, which in turn accelerates the successful addition of new capabilities to our applications. Our organization is now enabled to see and incorporate new ways to get work done, but also bring innovation to support our various business objectives.

While I'm sure New Relic is useful in this scenario, I have never needed to migrate an on-premise app to a cloud provider.

Our development was in the cloud and we used New Relic from the inception stages. Because it is tightly integrated into the Acquia Drupal platform, we were able to carry our monitoring account and key from Dev through Test to Live. We like the ability to monitor and retain the logs for up to 90 days on the Pro subscription.

New relic can be really helpful in reducing the migration risks. We can use it to measure the error rated before the migration and after migration to come to a better conclusion on the risks of migration and can target the points that can be improved. However the point of reduced price is something tricky here, although the base features are not very pricey but add ons can increase the cost a lot, which can be improved.

New Relic helped us reduce cost by showing us that our individual servers were supporting a larger load than we had speculated. Even during peak times we were able to track through our reporting that the server was still in acceptable ranges. As such, there was no need to run multiple instances, which cost extra.

NewRelic has accelerated our cloud adoption by allowing us to quickly migrate applications to the cloud, compare performance, and resolve bottlenecks. It has helped to reduce costs for those same reasons, by saving us time and development resources.

New Relic helped accelerate cloud adoption in a bit in that we are able to deploy more cloud servers without worrying about spending too much time monitoring each one, since it works seamlessly with our infrastructure. It has reduced cost in that it has helped limit customer churn due to our improved performance.

N/A as we are not currently looking to lift and shift our on-prem into the cloud at this time.

We hadn't moved to the cloud, so we haven't experienced this.

As New Relic's daemon is easy to install and it can be done automatically(for example on Amazon EB) it makes monitoring of applications much easier in the cloud.

Visibility is key. However, we opted to not deploy into our on-prem environment as we migrated/re-built in the Cloud. That said, we did use New Relic Infrastructure to view, trace, and solve performance-related issues when we moved our applications and OSes. While we didn't have a comparison within the platform from before and after, we did have metrics from a different tool. New Relic gave us the granularity to dig into the data and find where things were slowing down.

My company did not migrate to a cloud platform; we built on Amazon Web Services from the beginning. I don't have experience migrating an on-premises application to the cloud with New Relic.

An example of the reduced cost would probably be that we could identify specific processes that were hogging server resources and work specifically on improving them, thus reducing overall infrastructure costs via a reduced rate of adding resources.

New Relic help us finding issues early in our eCommerce sites made with Magento 2. Magento is an extremely complex software that requires deep knowledge of the framework. Risk of issues in production is very high, and very expensive for the end customer. New Relic is built in Magento and helped us finding and fixing issues at development time when there's no risk for the business.

New Relic helped establish better trust with our business since IT actually knew what was going and that something was wrong before users did. This was huge!

New Relic cloud integration is easy to set up. We use AWS. New Relic reduced the cost of application monitoring. Setting up any application in New Relic is quite easy.

We're not using it for this purpose.

We use New Relic for on-prem and cloud applications. We have not used it or seen how it can help reduce migration risk. However, it has helped in cloud adoption and monitoring of our cloud infrastructure and applications. We use AWS, and AWS CloudWatch has some good CPU and memory level monitoring already available. However, New Relic provides a great improvement over AWS level monitoring of its cloud infrastructure.

New Relic agents collect detailed application performance data as your app moves from on-premise to the cloud, with no additional configurations.

Going to the cloud is challenging on its own. Adding New Relic wasn't quite easy when you consider CICD and automation. AWS is already big and complicated, so adding NR was tough. It didn't help us reduce AWS cost because that is not what we were using it for. One thing is good about New Relic though - it doesn't matter if you are using AWS, Azure, or GAE; NR will work the same for you.
