It offers different licensing types that allow you to extend the services to clients; it lets you look into device performance and optimization and helps apply best practices
What I like best about IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is that it offers different licensing types. Hence, it allows my organization to extend the services to clients and not just use the solution within the organization. My organization can leverage IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to learn more about how clients perform because the solution lets you monitor and optimize devices and apply best practices.

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.

Pros

"My organization can leverage IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to learn more about how clients perform because the solution lets you monitor and optimize devices and apply best practices."
"Now with the features given through up.time we have over 300 + monitors constantly checking every environment that we have and also checking databases for errors."
"Easy to setup and begin monitoring."
"Customer Service: 5 stars! Excellent. Technical Support: 5 stars! Excellent."
"Overall, it improves the experience of the customers and site users."
"One valuable feature is that the synthetic alert stays open until the issue is resolved. You can actually monitor whether your system is back up."
"Both developers and operations people can look at the same data, and that’s a great benefit."
"However, as a dev-ops tool, it has been priceless."
"The monitoring so far has been good and we are happy with it."
"Insights with key transactions and response time, to understand which calls take the longest and where the bottlenecks are."
"Since using New Relic, time saved has improved by almost 50% due to the integration of Copilots and AI, and the ticket count reduction has surpassed 75%, allowing us to efficiently address similar issues."
"Customer Service: The Support has been excellent -- affordable and bringing us meetings and phone calls with great availability and customer-oriented support."
 

Cons

"Maintenance windows need to be streamlined."
"What I want to improve in IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is the community aspect, where IDERA would provide customers with updates on functionalities, what comes next, what IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor upgrades would be released, etc. I also want the sustainability of IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to improve."
"While you can restrict particular users to only see subsets of the reports, it isn't as easy as it could be."
"It’s really powerful with a lot of features, but some training and documentation from New Relic would be useful."
"New Relic is very slow, and the app is a bit frustrating to use, which is something that has been happening a lot in the past year. During the last six months, I have noticed that it has become extremely laggy."
"In the first stage, the area of development, infrastructure and communication portal."
"Joining datasets. Currently, it’s only possible to pull data from a single event type."
"The main reason we switched away from New Relic is that the cost is too high."
"I would say that the user interface is maybe a little bit overly complicated."
"In Alert History, while you can see the trending in response time by Request Queuing, .NER CLR and Database, if you had the ability to see which transaction type was the slowest during the timeframe when the critical error occurred by displaying the info within the same “tool tip” hover window which currently gives me the time per request and number of transactions, i.e., if it had the additional correlation information of “StatusCode/403” which you can get from the Events Errors hover."
"It gives you amazing statistics, but doesn’t give you enough information about what to do with the statistics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm based in Nigeria, and the conversion rate affects the pricing for IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor, but globally, pricing is reasonable. I'm rating pricing for the solution seven on a scale of one to ten."
"I think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
"Because of budget, we are not using the mobile app part of this tool."
"This is an expensive tool."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one means cheap, and ten means very expensive."
"If I remember it correctly, the pricing was based on the core, and the monthly subscription used to cost us $1,500 or $2,000. We had pre-prod and production services. Costing was different for pre-prod and production. For pre-prod, it was 40% less than the production service cost. It was a combined package."
"The solution is cheap, but prices can go up when users grow."
"The pricing is fine."
"If it’s the right tool, it doesn’t matter what it costs because you’re going to get it back many-fold from your productivity."
