What is New Relic?

<strong>Performance at-a-Glance</strong>

Key benefits of using New Relic

End-to-End Performance Management Made Easy

Sign-up for your free account. Deploy a small, lightweight agent in your application servers. Then, log into the New Relic One web app and the service will immediately “light up” with actionable performance data about your application. From here your application and server monitoring experience begins! Oh, and this only takes about 2 minutes – so yeah it’s easy!

Don't worry it’s safe and secure too. 70,000+ customers trust us to monitor more than 140 billion metrics daily.

Security certifications? Yes, we have those – we successfully completed our SOC2 audit. Learn more here: http://trust.newrelic.com

Multi-Platform Support

Rather than building on expensive, monolithic application architectures, organizations today are increasingly developing applications that get the job done easily and provide immediate value. This means that applications are being written in languages and frameworks that get the job done fast. They need an application performance management tool that does the same thing. That’s why New Relic is the only application performance management solution that supports applications written in Java, .NET, PHP, Ruby, Python, and Node.js.
Whatever language your app is written in – New Relic One has you covered!

SaaS-Based App Management Anytime, Anywhere

Proven app management capabilities delivered as a service. What does that really mean? It's our system, in our datacenter, and we do the heavy lifting. All you do is log in via your browser, watch your app, find and fix issues. Not to mention – save a ton of time and money along the way.

Pros
Dashboarding perfromance report capability is also good, helps us to keep on top of our applications perfromance.
Very feature rich and appreciate the ability to write custom queries against collected instrumentation data. Integration with other tools.
We've been pleased with the platform and the help we received on implementation.
Cons
Lack of default dashboard/UI to see the overall status for a group of apps/ team. No feature to turn off a alert policy from the UI, we have to start and stop individual alerts.
Upon cancellation I was charged three months fee because the product had "auto renewed" for a third year. My sales rep had told me it was a one year contract, no mention of anything auto renewing.
Even worse, pricing varies on multiple factors so it's not straightforward to predict your costs.

A very good tool to keep an eye over your app health.

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

It is one of the best tools to check the performance of your app. It can help you in checking the performance of different API's or can even tell that which API is making your system slower and you immediately need to optimize that. It also helps in finding out which front-end page is making your app slow by detecting the load time of that page.

Cons

Bar charts are confusion as no proper definition is given for them.

Good enough monitoring

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall positive, but it could be improved with better and more intuitive configuration and more flexible pricing.

Pros

I like how we can centralize and customize all our monitoring, get alerted when anything goes down, including servers, processes etc. We can also keep an eye on the performance of our web application and detect problems before they become serious. Takes a little setting up but it's very helpful.

Cons

The page where it runs often hangs and needs to be reloaded. The setup can be tricky, removing assets is also kind of complicated and not very intuitive. Seems to me a little bit pricey, I wouldn't mind a base price close to what we pay and then having the ability to add or remove assets easily and for a lower extra price. I currently keep all the testing and staging infrastructure out of this because it would cost too much to have it on.

A promising product being hampered by frequent bugs and issues

Reviewed 3 years ago

Its a very promising product, but the recent issues and the frequency of those issues have ruined the overall experience. There are more false alerts than the actual alerts and the team is looking for alternate options now.

Pros

We can have a centralized monitoring of all the apps and hosts. Ability to develop custom alerts using NRQL. Helps to identify potential bottlenecks and peaks in the performance.

Cons

Frequent issues/ glitches and downtimes in NewRelic causing false alarms while monitoring. Lack of default dashboard/UI to see the overall status for a group of apps/ team. No feature to turn off a alert policy from the UI, we have to start and stop individual alerts.
