Cost effective but when we originally purchased LANGuardian, some features needed further development.

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.

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

Pros

"If you are looking for a solid solution that can be easily deployed then I'd recommend considering Netfort solutions."
"Our CIO asked us to track down the source of undesired uploads, which trigger e-mails received by outside bodies regarding what they refer to as "copyright violations", and Languardian was the most efficient and effective tool for the job."
"Please go ahead and try this and you won't regret having it."
"It is a software solution as a service, so I don't have to manage it on-premise."
"It’s the flashlight to the core of an issue in a production environment that everyone may have missed in development, QA, and implementation."
"The solution's most valuable aspects are that it tracks java better and operates very efficiently."
"The most valuable features are the dashboards and tracing."
"NewRelic provides a one-stop shop monitoring solution for organizations that are looking for 360 degree monitoring solution: Application, Infrastructure, Network, Database, Enduser monitoring, Mobile everything under one roof."
"One of the most outstanding features of any APM tool is the anomaly detection part."
"It's helped us to find problems early and to make sure that what we're doing is working."
 

Cons

"Sure, at the time we bought the product, the GUI and graphs/reports/pie charts etc ... were not fully developed."
"It takes a long time to load results. I think it would be great if they fix the slowness issue in the next release."
"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."
"I would like a feature where I can turn off alerting at a policy level. Thus, when a policy is inactive, I can shut down all of my alerts within the policy."
"There is a picture which goes to your browser and it monitors requests from other users. However, it's impossible to use now because the price is very high."
"I would like to see the company implement the AI auto-baseline feature which Dynatrace has."
"The product's initial setup phase is not straightforward to manage if you have no experience with installations, making it an area that can be improved."
"There are certain features that are not supported in New Relic, such as CATSEARCH, which allows you to do a full-text search."
"Doesn't recognized some third party transaction traces."
"It would have been great had it provided thread-dump analysis and a few additional JVM-related stats."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."
"Pricing is better with New Relic APM than Dynatrace."
"The solution is quite expensive. It costs around $5,000 a month. There aren't any additional costs above that."
"The pricing could be better. We did not purchase the full version. Maybe if we applied all the other features of the full version of New Relic, we could get all the features that we feel are missing."
"The pricing is fine."
"The solution is less expensive than AppNeta."
"This is an expensive product."
"The pricing and licensing are good if you have an account manager and a partner manager who are looking to help out."
