Amazing tool

Review for New Relic by Viktors on 2012-01-26

New Relic allows to see performance for each component of the stack on the same chart. I had experience with that before using in-house tools, to measure latency added by Solr, internal API, database, and the site itself - it's so great that finally there's a tool to do that properly. It also doesn't slow down the servers by sending the information (unlike some other monitoring tools like AirBrake).

Cons: The UI is a bit difficult to navigate - the tool has evolved a lot, and because of that there are too many options.

Already an integral tool for our systems

Review for New Relic by Paul Griffiths on 2012-01-26

Installation of New Relic was quick and simple. Less than an hour after installing we already had enough data to pinpoint bottlenecks in our application. The breakdown of tiers (PHP, Database, Web External) was invaluable. We were able to quickly realise that 3rd party external resources were the cause of some excessive response times. Montoring of new releases is now all done via the New Relic dashboard, we are able to see in pretty much real time if any issues are happening.

Pros: Interface is very intuitive. Ability to see breakdown of tiers affecting response time. Alerts for server issues. Integration with existing frameworks.

Cons: Nothing, it's now an integral part of our toolset.
