Jose Ramon Crespo - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Enterprise Director at Towers IT
Utilize artificial intelligence for faster issue response and seamless ITSM integration
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features. These capabilities help us gather more information and analyze it faster, leading to better responses to issues. The tool is also excellent at integrating with ITSM services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.

Real-time alerts have reduced server outage impact and support fast incident response
In the dashboard, if they could show a little more metrics regarding the application and related things, that would be how New Relic could be improved. Currently, there are things showing from the server level and application level, but it can be improved. That is what I felt. Regarding user interface, I do not feel much concern, but for some kind of issues when we are trying to get support from the New Relic team, their SLA seems to be long. They are taking seven to ten working days for resolving some kind of scenario or issue. That is a bit difficult for us. If they could improve the customer support by reducing their SLA within three to five days, if they could remediate everything, that will be so much helpful. When it comes to the customer support part, I felt they need to be a little more improved on that part. The support overall is good, but they can improve. That is the reason I have given it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"User session details"
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"We haven't really had an issue per se, but there was a time when we had some network devices that were down, and eG showed us pretty quickly that that part of the network was down."
"The support we get from eG Innovations is truly outstanding."
"It delivers a huge amount of value and most people don't understand that."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"The stability of New Relic APM is very good."
"There are many things, but in particular I like the real-time monitoring; we get to know when a specific service or specific URL is failing and not performing, and we can set certain delivery thresholds which, if broken, we hear about immediately."
"We use it for monitoring, identifying when services go down, or when they are outside of what we would consider normal operations."
"The UI interface and navigation make it easy for a novice user to quickly use the provided relevant performance application data to determine how well their application is performing and to see other areas which may require some further tuning."
"Both developers and operations people can look at the same data, and that’s a great benefit."
"It’s the flashlight to the core of an issue in a production environment that everyone may have missed in development, QA, and implementation."
"As New Relic is already integrated with Drupal, we can get our projects done with best practice and with the best value that we believe in."
"The New Relic toolset has become part of our SDLC -- reviewing the changes we made for impact to the production environment."
 

Cons

"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"I would not buy this product again knowing what I know now. It takes too much time and it is still not where it used to be."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"I can understand why they designed the user interface (UI) the way they did, but sometimes in the management of the eG Manager, it can be a bit clunky."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"How granular I could go down at looking at certain data, especially related to the operations, is limited."
"Some of the 3rd party plugins could be improved - especially the requirement for java to monitor simple network services is not ideal."
"They don't have an opportunity to share the dashboard with the public. If you want to share it with stakeholders or people outside the organization who just want to have a look at a couple of metrics, you can't do that without onboarding them to the product itself."
"The only limitation we experience is with Insights query limit of 1,000 transactions."
"New Relic APM can improve the information when we dig deeper to check a problem. There should be more detailed information provided."
"Sometimes it’s too difficult to get more details about a problem. Sometimes it requires too much drilling down to find out about a problem for which we shouldn't need to do so much searching."
"There have been issues in the past where stability was not fully reliable, but all problems were quickly resolved and we personally haven't had any data loss issues of any kind."
"Alerting based on custom insights queries. If I set a custom query to give me some value, I want to be able to set an alert for that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"It is not expensive."
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"You may get some monitoring products with certain licensing you may own. Some of these can take ages to configure and setup, along with needing a license to drive the software."
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"The price depends on how many agents you want."
"I recommend using the free version of New Relic. If you like the free version and understand its importance for your company, you can move to the trial. Then, you can migrate to the paid version."
"The solution is cheap, but prices can go up when users grow."
"The pricing and licensing are good if you have an account manager and a partner manager who are looking to help out."
"New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
"Because of budget, we are not using the mobile app part of this tool."
"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."
"This is an expensive product."
