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.
reviewer2732427 - PeerSpot reviewer
System Integration Advisor at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Provides robust infrastructure monitoring with excellent integrations and alert predictions but needs improved AIOps capabilities
If we treat OpsRamp as an infrastructure monitoring tool, there are many positive aspects. However, when viewed as an AIOps tool, there are numerous potential additions. Currently, it performs infrastructure monitoring but has limited capability in application monitoring, which needs improvement. They are introducing observability as a feature where metrics, logs, and traces can be implemented, but this is currently in a primitive state that can grow over time. The platform is very stable, and the UI is excellent. However, regarding AIOps features, enhancements could be made to provide more value, such as dynamic thresholding and other capabilities that competitor tools have, such as LogicMonitor.
