Overall Satisfaction with New Relic

It's being used by the developers working on the application. New Relic helps the team to find bottlenecks and performance problems introduced with the changes. It also helps to break the request flow into several steps so we can understand how the application works under the hood and how we have to tackle problems.

Pros

  • Performance metrics are great.
  • Connection between systems is fantastic, especially when you're working with microservices.
  • The breakdown of pieces in the application is very nice.

Cons

  • The price is still high compared with competitors.
  • If you want to stay on the free plan, there's not much to compare since you will lose the history.
  • New Relic helped the company to find out that they are allocating a lot of resources that were not being used.
  • The further migration after analysis cut the costs by 2/3.
I prefer New Relic over Datadog. I like their dashboard and I'm used to how it works in general. The price for Datadog is lower though, which makes the company consider it from time to time.
I would use New Relic on every new Rails application I build. I can see how useful it is and I've been doing that for years now. When you have multiple applications and want to understand what is going all between all of them, New Relic is also a great choice. You can "tag" the request and New Relic will create a map for you.
