New Relic for Web Apps
Overall Satisfaction with New Relic
The main business problem we solve using New Relic is the prevention of disasters before they occur. Using this analytic tool we have witnessed a few incidents real time that could potentially effect production users - which we were able to isolate and use emergency change control to fix.
- NewRelic is a simple and intuitive solution that gives detailed performance metrics for every aspect of the environment, in real-time.
- I love the amount of detail I can receive on very detailed aspects of my software.
- I am able to view app performance down to specific lines of code. This allows me to see what the code is connected to, effecting and the resources being used.
- The paid solutions are a bit pricey unless you are looking at it as a scalable solution for your future growth.
- The only other thing I can think of is that the learning curve is a bit steep for inexperienced users.
- Like iterated previously, the main business problem we solve using New Relic is the prevention of bugs & errors before they occur.
Amazon CloudWatch lacks a free trial. New Relic APM has a free trial. Having living, up to the minute graphs describing the health of various web apps & receiving monitoring alerts is a pro on both. New Relic seems to be a memory hog where Amazon CloudWatch is not. Amazon CloudWatch does have storage issues where New Relic does not. Overall they are both good and worth trying out.
