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.
BasilJiji - PeerSpot reviewer
System engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
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 is very good if you are a Cisco shop; it gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great, but it is far, far away from good and perfect."
"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."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"If you're looking for a tool that will solve your problems in a short period of time more effectively, LiveNX is the right tool."
"There are many positive attributes, and it's the best of the best."
"The breakdown of the response time of different components and getting in-depth details of the slow component are the most valuable features. It is easy to use, and it gets the job done."
"<p>New Relic has positively impacted my organization by helping with our observability goals.</p>"
"I find the error monitoring of IIS web applications to be extremely useful."
"This is one of the best tools that I have used."
"New Relic always gets new things done."
"New Relic gave us a quick, easy way to monitor our web application for all of our systems."
"There are many valuable features in New Relic APM; we developed some software applications and we are able to monitor the errors very easily, and their log security retention is very good."
"It integrates everything, which is awesome."
 

Cons

"They have some unique functionality but they need to create a more simplified UI."
"Maintenance is required for the system."
"The product is weak in multi-tenancy. We have to install multiple instances of LiveAction, whereas we would like to build it once for our customers."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"My advice to others would be to run away from it. This is a slight exaggeration but this is more because the application is horrible, the stability is horrible, the performance is horrible and the support is horrible."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"While the New Relic dashboards and UI are customizable, they can sometimes lead to a clumsy behavior."
"It constantly aggregates data so it’s not a true indication of how our application is doing."
"If we can find a way to communicate the need to use it, we use it, but we want a way to hand it off to our clients easily."
"Raw transaction didn’t give us data that we needed."
"I would like the ability to set up certain dummy accounts and do the actual things that the customer is doing, without impacting the production environment."
"Compared to their competitors, they are missing some features at the moment."
"New Relic needs to improve is the user data schema."
"The pricing model. New Relic can be expensive for growing startups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very expensive."
"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"We use the free version."
"The detection piece of it brings us a big return on investment."
"We spend somewhere around $5,000 to $6,000 per month with an annual recommitment of maybe $60,000. These are just ballpark figures."
"It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."
"This is an expensive product."
"I think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
"This is an expensive tool."
"The pricing and licensing are good if you have an account manager and a partner manager who are looking to help out."
