### "Infrastructure monitoring tool"

June 10, 2018

4.0

Monitoring of web application once production is deployed after every release.

Pros

One of the best monitoring tools to track performance of web applications and APIs. Feature of adding alert for various kinds of decline/downfall helps in keeping the application up and running all the time. Different types of reports are generated to give complete insight of application in production.

Cons

Cost of the tool is on higher side, agreed that it comes with lots of features and capabilities but still looks like cost is something that can be worked upon.

### "Actionable Real-time Analytics"

November 4, 2018

5.0

New Relic helps find out about issues in real-time and can even trace the issue back to the source.

Pros

Real-time and scheduled e-mail notifications, so I can address issues immediately.

Cons

I found that there was quite a moderate learning curve.

### "Feature rich instrumentation and monitoring"

February 24, 2021

5.0

Fully implementated server and application monitoring with alerts and integration to OpsGenie.

Pros

Very feature rich and appreciate the ability to write custom queries against collected instrumentation data. Integration with other tools.

Cons

Our specific implementation required custom metrics to be created and these were not intuitive to query and use.. Assistance from the support team meant we were able to get going after a small delay.

### "Poor experience with customer support"

November 28, 2017

2.0

Pros

The product is pretty convenient to get insights into your activity. Many configuration and settings options.

Cons

The customer support is poor. When you want to downgrade your subscription, you should be patient. Not really a customer-centric company.

### "Amazing tool"

January 26, 2012

5.0

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.

### "Very intuitive, simple to use program"

July 31, 2018

5.0

Pros

New Relic is a very simple to use program that provides critical monitoring to your server and apps. It integrates great with many 3rd party apps making your experience with this platform very enhanced.

Cons

moving from the free trial can be expensive, but again it is truly packed full of the most features.

### "Great organizational platform"

October 24, 2019

5.0

We've been pleased with the platform and the help we received on implementation.

Pros

Ease of use and the analytics it provides has proven to be beneficial for our customer insights and web traffic.

Cons

As of right now we don't have any cons as we are still new into using the platform. There hasn't been any issues.

### "Powerful software for monitoring my tools"

July 3, 2018

5.0

I used the software to monitor the performance of other tools that i use.

Pros

I just love how easy it is to New Relic to monitor the application performance for periodic analytics

Cons

I feel the pricing for the New Relic is too high and unrealistic. we could consider lowering the retail price.

### "Competitive asset performance management"

December 15, 2018

4.0

Pros

New Relic does a good job with asset performance management and gives you a pretty full view into your entire software stack's performance

Cons

Mobile application performance management tools aren't yet as refined as they could be, so there can always be improvement there

### "Monitor your infrastructure available easily and analytically"

March 18, 2018

4.0

Pros

New relic has lots of features that my company is using to monitor my infrastructure and manage them for cost efficiency.

Cons

Some of the features that we want aren't available, the sdks has just been in for beta use. Long run for possible usage and support with SDKs.

### "Great but pricey"

February 1, 2017

5.0

Primarily, I have used this product for monitoring Java Applications. In addition, it has pieces of monitoring server components. It very features rich, but the price gets exorbitant (we were paying around $M/year for monitoring Java apps. I can not imagine what it would have cost to add in general server monitoring....we went with a much cheaper solution for that.

### "Great insights but pricey"

February 13, 2017

4.0

I've been using New Relic in numerous projects since the very beginning of the service. Gives an amazing insight into application performance. Integration with Ruby on Rails is really amazing, though I would like to see a bit tighter integration with Sidekiq and little bit more detailed ActiveRecord query tracking (with query source).

### "Advanced server profiling"

November 10, 2016

5.0

NewRelic has been the best server profiling tool for ages. Setup is easy, and it works on the fly. The reports give you a good overview to troubleshoot bottleneck. Price is steep, but it's worth every penny if you have a complicated infrastructure.

### "a must have tool"

The key to monitoring the app and then rapidly determining the cause of a potential issue is seeing the transaction context. That's the power of having this tool in place.
