Fast in-app surveys have improved how we collect and focus on user feedback for our job platform
The best features Instabug offers are that it is very easy to obtain immediate feedback. The immediate feedback feature for my app is very simple to use, which helps my team and users focus on the target and focus on a different objective. Instabug has impacted my organization positively because it is very simple to use, and I can find in a short time the feedback I need to work on a specific target.

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

"The product makes it very easy to reproduce issues."
"The best features Instabug offers are that it is very easy to obtain immediate feedback."
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"It is a software solution as a service, so I don't have to manage it on-premise."
"Monitoring is a crucial thing for every work, and New Relic is doing a very good job in this part."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The alert mechanism is quite accurate when something goes wrong in your system. For example, if you have hundreds of APIs on your server, and any of the APIs is not performing well, you get an alert. When there is a drop or change in the threshold value, the beauty of New Relic is that within a fraction of seconds, all the stakeholders who are configured in the New Relic system will get an alert. That's one good thing."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"New Relic has positively impacted my organization by making it easier to catch failures so I can resolve them quickly and take action."
"It has in-depth analysis using developer code for someone whose not traditionally a developer."
"Sometimes, I monitor the user's time of response and use this information to improve the number of servers on the back-end. Or, I can use it to change my back log for front-end developers and improve their response times. It's very important in this case because I can improve the experience of the final user."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial if the tool could be more precise in capturing steps, focusing only on the relevant ones. For example, there were some times when it caught some extra screenshots which were not included in the steps. Sometimes, it also happened that it got some extra steps that were not in there to reproduce the bug. We also called that screenshot and the steps there as well."
"The end users were not able to report bugs."
"They need to improve the alerting and dashboarding as these are the key features in DevOps."
"I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues."
"One thing that we noticed was that historical information was only for a limited period, which was not helpful in certain scenarios. For example, if I want to size my system for an event for New Year or Christmas season based on the historical data, I won't be able to find the historical data. Currently, the data is limited to three months. It would be helpful if they can provide historical data for a longer duration so that we can plan our system accordingly."
"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."
"There has been some problem with the agent, and it is just not working well. It is not able to record information with the application server. They have been able to fix the issue, but it took quite a long time. This is the main issue in the APM products and also in New Relic. The mobile application monitoring has been pretty difficult to set up and also quite expensive. It should be a little bit easier and cheaper. Because it is pretty difficult and expensive, many customers don't take it."
"We have had issues with our agents going offline."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Real-user monitoring would be helpful as it would help me to really understand the client-side performance of the application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was easy. The product is easy to deploy and manage, which is why our company purchased through the AWS Marketplace."
"The new licensing model is great, as we pay for what we use (in computational units). However, the pricing is expensive compared to other tools."
"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."
"The solution is less expensive than AppNeta."
"It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
"We're paying for the New Relic APM license annually."
"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."
"This is an expensive tool."
