Chose New Relic
New Relic stood out to us primarily because of its all-in one approach, combining APM, infra monitoring, logs and alerts in single platform. Compared to other tools we evaluated, if offered a smoother on boarding experience and required less stitching together of different …
Chose New Relic
Less expensive than Datadog and Sentry with almost everything we need. Less effort to set up and maintain than elastic search and kibana so saved a ton on engineering bandwidth which would have otherwise been lost.
Chose New Relic
Solarwinds was good until they migrated to a new kind of offering and discounting the old product making it more expensive and less flexible for our specific use-case.
The free trial also helped me try and get started without needing to commit.
I think right now New Relic is the …
Chose New Relic
New Relic is the easiest to adopt, the price is in line with the other tools, and it has the lowest threshold to cross in order to learn the system and the platform. Adopting OpenTelemetry has been helpful in getting data aligned, and their documentation has been sufficient for …
Chose New Relic
New Relic's APM is better than Datadog's. It has better traces and dashboards. The Apdex-based alerts are accurate and work predictably even at a large scale. However, New Relic can become expensive as the volume of data ingested grows. Datadog has better dashboards and …
Chose New Relic
The New Relic Platform addresses this challenge with the new plugin architecture. Plugins provide a way to monitor each of these technologies, extending the New Relic interface with custom-made dashboards specific to each. They pair the reporting of metrics specific to the …
Chose New Relic
We selected TrackJS for error monitoring and New Relic for site speed monitoring. TrackJS is a much easier to use tool for JS error monitoring, so we never ended up consolidating tools or moving over to New Relic permanently. We use New Relic for site speed monitoring and …
Chose New Relic
10 years ago we used AppDynamics onpremise but the cost was too high and we migrated to New Relic, more economical and modern

Chose New Relic
New Relic is the most full-featured offering that we've found, and is incredibly easy to start using with a PHP app. The New Relic agent is installed as a PHP extension so it is able to monitor and track the performance of any PHP app being run by the web server. Other tools …
Chose New Relic
At the time, we selected New Relic for the broad coverage it could provide over our landscape.
Chose New Relic
There's nothing like New Relic. pingdom has an APM module but it lacks the detail of New Relic. Datadog's strength is measuring the hosting infrastructure rather than the app itself. Sometime you need APM to see what your app is doing.
Chose New Relic
New Relic is used by developers and support teams at our organisation - Splunk is used more in security monitoring by our SecOps team - not sure how they might compare doing the same job
Chose New Relic
Even though Catchpoint is an excellent tool when it comes to synthetics and end-user monitoring, also Amazon CloudWatch is a very good tool for monitoring cloud infrastructure, New Relic gives a complete solution of full-stack monitoring along with the features provided by …
Chose New Relic
Similar features, the New Relic data ingestion costs are better and UI better as well
Chose New Relic
They all have pros and cons. We actually do use both Sentry Datadog and NewRelic depending on the service / need.
Chose New Relic
New Relic in my opinion is a lot better than a tool like Datadog and Splunk. Cost in my opinion is the biggest concern.
Chose New Relic
The overlap is not large, but the one advantage of the speed curve is retention: data is available permanently, which allows you to investigate the hypothesis with data collected before formulating the hypothesis. This has proven very effective for us.
Chose New Relic
We selected New Relic because we were more readily able to send metrics and performance data to one centralized location, and perform a variety of visualization and correlation tasks in a single location, with a single application.
Chose New Relic
Google Analytics is useful for end-user traffic distribution and when combined with New Relic provides a more complete picture on user interaction with our site.
Chose New Relic
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 have used New Relic in different scenarios like monitoring my production infrastructure and applications which helps us to reduce the downtime of my applications and websites and also I have used the synthetic monitoring feature which helps to proactively monitor our websites availability. Along with this I have also used New Relic for cloud resources cost monitoring which helps to reduce my cloud cost. Also I have used mobile application monitoring which helps me to trace the sessions easily and I can easily reduce my RCA through the help of that.

Pros
New Relic
  • New Relic APM allows us to follow up transactions across services and trace performance bottlenecks in real-time, crucial when monitoring the processing of energy loads or predictive maintenance algorithms.
  • It gives us deep visibility into our cloud servers, containers and IOT gateways, so we can catch CPU spikes or memory leaks which can impact the data we ingest from the field devices.
  • We develop custom dashboards for monitoring trends of power consumption, abnormality in sensors and API health. In conjunction with alerting, it makes sure we are fixing issues before customers even see them.

Cons
New Relic
  • Support for SQL like query with more functional features of analysis while viewing distributed tracing.
  • support for very low level specific integration from APIs to classes to functions to piece of code
  • More detailed documentation, as we faced issues while integrating for the first time.

The only issue that we have had with New Relic is that the price might be a little expensive for smaller companies. The amount of data you store in New Relic impacts the cost, and can get away from you if you don't work closely with the vendor. Overall though the application is top notch.

Support Rating
New Relic
The support team has been really helpful and resolved most of the issues on time. However, for a couple of issues, several follow-ups were needed to elicit a reasonable response. The issue was deeply technical and could have been investigated only by their Architects, and bringing them into the ticket took longer than needed

Implementation Rating
New Relic
It's better to start by implementing New Relic in one project and test everything. Try to follow best recommended practices and read all the official documentation. Everything seems well tested. Then, start by installing agents to the rest of your projects and keep a close look to all logs and metrics New Relic gives you.

Return on Investment
New Relic
  • We were able to quickly identify our most time consuming APIs. In some cases we were able to bring down times for some apis from 4s to 200ms.
  • We were able to identify our slowest database queries and optimize them for quicker response times.
