New Relic's integration with Heroku and great visualisation and reporting of key specs made it a no brainer
Overall Satisfaction with New Relic
We used New Relic to monitor a couple of web apps built with Heroku. We used it's availability monitoring feature, as well as the Apdex graphing for load testing.
- Availability Monitoring
- Apdex (Application Performance Index) score
- Web interface can be a little klunky
- Some features require a higher subscription package ($$)
- Used as main source of metrics for load testing
- The availability monitoring functionality keeps single dyno apps on Heroku awake
- Boundary
New Relic integrates perfectly with Heroku which was our primary use case.
