Ashwani Bansal - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Solution Consultant at Orange
Network management and diagnostics improved through effective monitoring and reporting capabilities
The solution is handy. I have not used that particular feature. Maintenance is required for the system. If you want to use something on the endpoints or end-user devices, then using LiveAction LiveNX in place of other tools would be quite beneficial. The solution impacts operational costs and resources. On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine.

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 has a very good graphical interface."
"There are many positive attributes, and it's the best of the best."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"We provide a tool for our customers to manage their reports. It's an extremely highly featured platform capable of producing a lot of data. We spent quite a long time working with customers and LiveAction to create template reports, and they're very good and configurable. You get a lot of data if you don't configure them."
"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great, but it is far, far away from good and perfect."
"New Relic helped with the mean time to detection, the MTDD metric tracked for applications, where the detection capability enabled a reduction from around 20 to 30 minutes down to three minutes, which has been really helpful in terms of detecting issues as well as helping to triage and troubleshoot issues faster, creating a positive impact on the organization."
"We detect issues using dashboards that we built on New Relic."
"Breadth of features, user experience, and constant development of the platform, as well as the value it’s adding to our business."
"I believe that New Relic meets 90% of cases, so if you have low budget and little time to implement, this would be the best choice."
"The database trace was the most useful service, helping us improve performance on our servers by more than 30%."
"The synthetics, alerts, and native inbuilt capabilities for monitoring the cloud with the New Relic agents have been helpful."
"It is easier to create new dashboards in the New Relic interface, and it is also easier to query if when I want to monitor a different parameter or time duration on my dashboard."
"It has helped us maintain a much higher uptime than we had previously."
 

Cons

"The customer service and technical support of LiveAction LiveNX are rated at 4 out of 10."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"Maintenance is required for the system."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"The only downside to this software is the price; it's a very pricey solution and very expensive, and it requires a good amount of resources in terms of server memory."
"Another area for improvement is integration with Kubernetes. Currently, the process isn't user-friendly."
"One thing I'd like to see in any APM, especially New Relic, is the ability to use distributed transactions. When one microservice calls another, it calls another database and microservice. The entire data visualization layer will not be able to correlate from one microservice from end to end and return on that path. Distributed transactions would be a great addition that would make life simpler. Unfortunately, no APM has that end-to-end capability."
"Customer Service: Used rarely, was average. Technical Support: Used rarely, was average."
"Last year, there were several New Relic outages where alerts were either fired in error or not fired at all."
"There are some 5 minutes interruptions that we don't know where they come from, 24x7 confirmed the web was ok so it must be the tool."
"However, there could be problems or hiccups with the integration with Java-based services and microservices."
"The solution does not provide input on how the page performs in a big group. It just says that the page performance is bad, but it does not say what can be done to improve it. If they could provide some insight or guidance on how to make improvements, that would be a big help."
"I've heard Dynatrace say that New Relic's pricing model was very expensive, so that would be a concern."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the free version."
"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"It's very expensive."
"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 pricing model is a little confusing for beginners. They find it a little expensive, and if you are using it already, then that is not good."
"This is an expensive tool."
"We spend somewhere around $5,000 to $6,000 per month with an annual recommitment of maybe $60,000. These are just ballpark figures."
"We feel it's a little bit pricey."
"It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
"The price depends on how many agents you want."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, and I believe that it is a competitively-priced tool."
