New Relic for Web Apps
Overall Satisfaction with New Relic
We are using New Relic to monitor the performance of our applications. This is much better than just tracking CPU and memory usage or response time of a web-server as it really shows how quick it works for end users. Plus, I like the interface, on one screen you see the app score, web transaction time, requests per minute, as well I may quickly check for errors and many other small things.
- Measuring Application performance score (instead of just CPU or memory usage)
- All important information about an application's server on one screen
- Has a free plan
- Easy to set up
- Price is too expensive for small virtual servers (like the ones for $10-20 a month)
- Saving time when some problem with applications arises
- Saving time on improving the performance of applications
- Saving time as all data collected under "one roof"
It helps to save time when some problem with applications arises as well as saving time while trying to improve the performance of applications (as you can see weak points pretty easily). It is very useful to have all the data in the same place, especially if you are managing a lot of servers.
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.
New Relic's APM helps to save time when there is some problem with applications, as you may quickly see where the problem comes from. Also, improving the performance of applications became much easier, as you can see the parts of applications that work slow, therefore, should be prioritized.
