Featured Reviews

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.

Real-time analytics and alerts improve application performance and network operations
OmniPeek's ability to convert application visibility into flow helps me quickly understand application performance over LAN, WAN, or wireless. Its real-time analytics, integrated with LiveNX, allow me to monitor business-critical applications and set up alerts for application performance issues. This centralized dashboard and alert system is highly valuable for maintaining network operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"New Relic has helped us in terms of the optimizing our print and loading times."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"Server uptime is its most valuable feature."
"We use it for monitoring, identifying when services go down, or when they are outside of what we would consider normal operations."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"There are many valuable features in New Relic APM. We developed some software applications and we are able to monitor the errors very easily. Their log security retention is very good."
"Support for plug-ins (RMQ, Redis etc.) is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to receive in-depth information about applications. It can detect a lot of important information."
"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek is the ability to assign custom color codes to the different packets easily."
"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek was the ability it gave us to see the connection procedure."
"I believe the most crucial feature of OmniPeek search is the ability to sniff packets based on channel switching."
"The most valuable features are the voice bot, which checks the quality of service for voice, and the expert view that gives me insight on what and where to troubleshoot."
"The most valuable feature is OmniPeek is user-friendly."
"OmniPeek shows the entire packet flow and structure, particularly in security-related scenarios, whereas Wireshark sometimes fails to capture all packets."
"OmniPeek's ability to convert application visibility into flow helps me quickly understand application performance over LAN, WAN, or wireless."
"It's a solid piece of software. It's stable."
 

Cons

"However, there could be problems or hiccups with the integration with Java-based services and microservices."
"The solution needs to have staging."
"Real-user monitoring would be helpful as it would help me to really understand the client-side performance of the application."
"New Relic APM can improve the information when we dig deeper to check a problem. There should be more detailed information provided."
"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."
"The price needs improvement."
"New Relic can be improved in a few areas. I noticed that some things can be easily done through Splunk but not through New Relic."
"They could improve the education process and how people understand that these tools are very technical. Right now, if someone was to pick it up from day one, it is a very steep learning curve."
"I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning."
"I don't see a clear roadmap in the future for improving this software."
"I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment."
"OmniPeek doesn't support Linux or Unix installations, which prompted the shift to Wireshark."
"I am not using OmniPeek for automation, we only do manual testing. Automation testing is tedious to do. The automation should be more user-friendly. I have exposed some APIs but the usage is not user-friendly."
"The solution's automation has room for improvement."
"Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheap, but prices can go up when users grow."
"The solution is less expensive than AppNeta."
"Comparatively, the pricing is expensive."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one means cheap, and ten means very expensive."
"We're paying for the New Relic APM license annually."
"This is an expensive product."
"The pricing is fine."
"New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
"We have only purchased the add-on once and have not paid for any subsequent versions as it was too costly for us."
"The pricing for this solution could be improved, as it is a very expensive product."
"There are different types of licenses available."
