Overall Satisfaction with New Relic

We use New Relic's APM product primarily for visibility of our PHP Web applications.
It is our eyes to detect errors, performance losses, anomalies, distributed transactions, database performance, external services.
We also use Synthetic Monitoring, Infrastructure, Logs and all proactive alerts and event correlators.
We have been using New Relic for 7 years
  • Rapid incident detection
  • Quick and easy implementation in a single tool
  • High cost for a company with a lot of traffic. I can't use all the functionalities I would like because of the high cost of data ingestion. For example logs, where Open solutions such as ELK are better.
Realtime data, Kubernetes cluster status. Correlation of all APM events with logs with AWS Infrastructure with K8s. Everything is simple and magically integrated.
Implementation is very simple and visibility is very high, even in very complicated migrations or architectures. New Relic simplifies everything with little effort.I couldn't do my job without New Relic or I would have a hard time implementing its visibility.
There is no difference between the Sysadmin, DevOps and Developers panels.
Everything is integrated so that all engineering teams work with the same data and visualizations.
In complex container and Kubernetes environments it is important to have visibility of auto-scaling.
10 years ago we used AppDynamics onpremise but the cost was too high and we migrated to New Relic, more economical and modern


We implemented New Relic before Datadog came into existence and we are very happy. We have not needed to change.
We are now evaluating it to try to reduce New Relic's bill, but I think it is still superior.

Idem with Dynatrace
