What do you like best about New Relic?

1. Strong integrations with multiple types of servers and programming languages. As an e-commerce developer, I used to integrate with my Magento websites and AWS server. Whenever the CPU utilization reaches its threshold limit, it will notify us, and I can monitor the system and ensure there is no downtime for the website.

2. Free tier pricing. The Basic needs will be covered in the free tier. Which is very helpful

3. User-friendly and easy to integrate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about New Relic?

Pricing - For the base level it will cover with free tier, but the free tier has limitations, if we go with pricing models, then Relic offers pay-per-usage, Sometimes the amount will be too high for a high-traffic application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

New Relic is giving alerts based on the CPU usage, this will help me to check the server and making my customer websites ON all time, In ecom industry the Zero downtime has significant importance. Also it will help me to understand the programs/modules that using high CPU and troubleshoot on the specific point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some integrations are harder to set up than they should be. While New Relic supports a wide range of tools, the documentation can feel outdated or assumes too much prior knowledge.

What do you like best about New Relic?

I always have instant access to real-time information regarding the performance of my systems... often allowing me to address issues PRIOR TO the customer being impacted. I rely on New Relic every single day to ensure that our systems are functioning optimally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about New Relic?

If there is any performance degradation by using New Relic, it has been imperceptible to us or our customers. The initial configuration and customization does require some time & effort... but, certain for us, worth the effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is New Relic solving and how is that benefiting you?

In general, we are interested in 1. ensuring our server infrastructure is up & running, 2. our web application is optimized for performance & reliability, and 3. if our customers are experiencing any errors, we need insight to those errors (above & beyond what the customer can provide). For us, New Relic is integral in ensuring that we continually improve the customer experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about New Relic?

1. The dashboard which is completely customizable, is very useful when monitoring. Everything in our priorities can be sorted as in our mind.

2. New relic supports flutter, and monitoring our mobile apps is easy. Best thing: Integrating the flutter agent and get results on our dashboard is very simple.

3. The platform provides quite good customer support, we will get the tickets sorted within a few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about New Relic?

1. Too costly. Compared with other platforms which provide almost similar features, New Relic price is very high.

2. The SDK for the android platform is not fully optimized. If we implement new relic SDK in our app, the progaurd needs to be disabled, which is not good for the code obfuscation of our app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about New Relic?

NewRelic was super easy to implement and very easy to use and navigate. Before NR we had log files all over the place on different windows VMs, was horrible to manage. But now we have them in one central place that we can query, review and monitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about New Relic?

Nothing at all it's great.. I struggled a little bit setting up monitors and dashboards, but only due to not giving it enough attention and focus - once I say down and actually made myself do it, it was very easy and made sense Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about New Relic?

a grate feature was the ease of use. I used in my Node Application, it was very easy to integrate and implement in the overall application. All it took was installing the npm package and a few lines of code to add in my code base.

Another feature I loved was the user experience, it was very smooth. Every feature was easily available, while the customer support is amazing, user rarely needs it because they can explore easily on their own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about New Relic?

The free tier allows very limited user to access. Makes it a bit difficult to collaborate. Also a minor flaw was logs, I tried to monitor logs but the logs were not as detailed and robust as I expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is New Relic solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mostly the product(s) used to have problems, a bad API or the server specs being not enough. This would often result in a slow app or sometimes a crash, what we needed was monitoring and observability of our entire infrastructure and application. While some cloud providers have their own tools, they are not as feature rich or there are multiple that are scattered, this eventually becomes cluttered and a mess to maintain.

New Relic helped us solve these problems by having all of the features such as logging, APM, Server Monitoring, Server health and more, all in a single platform. Since we started using New Relic, it has become much easier to debug problems, and be proactive regarding Application health and scaling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
