Good for application Performance Monitoring but not stable
There are two types of teams we have in every organization. One is for DevOps, and the second one is for performance testing. Those who are using these tools, like AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or whatever tool we have on the APM side. These tools are used by two teams: one is the performance team, and another one is the DevOps team. So, the setup and the alert system belong to the DevOps team, not for performance. So, I don't use any alerts in AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or any of the tools.
Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven 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

"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."
"It has prevented failures from occurring in our production environment."
"It is a software solution as a service, so I don't have to manage it on-premise."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to execute queries and analyze the data."
"You don't have to go through a list of 500 servers."
"It allows the restriction of privileges and control of users."
"It is a one stop shop and integrated with PagerDuty seamlessly. The solution is pretty self-contained."
"The integration and configuration of New Relic is straightforward and easy."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"Great features available in one tool."
"The data lineage is great."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
 

Cons

"The price could improve."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment needs improvement on the filtering part. I would like it to go more granular on accounts."
"Email alert customization is limited; it cannot be tailored much, which makes the system more rigid than optimal."
"There are certain features that are not supported in New Relic, such as CATSEARCH, which allows you to do a full-text search."
"We would like to receive more AWS-specific details from the New Relic Dashboard, like EC2 health."
"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."
"I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues."
"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"The major hindrance with Palantir Foundry is that being a very closed product, the cost optimization and costing are not exposed to the end users."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."

"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It's expensive."
