A very powerful, flexible tool
What do you like best about the product?
It offers a lot of useful tools to monitor your application's health. It has a lot of detailed performance data that lets you quickly identify problem areas and bottlenecks. The live alerts are extremely useful, too, allowing us to maintain uptime even outside of work hours or any time we aren't actively working.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's extremely tedious to pull any historical data, even something as simple as a single error that occurred last week. The sheer number of features also makes it very difficult to find exactly what you need at times, or even know if what you're looking for exists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As mentioned above, we use New Relic APM to monitor our application's health and track down bugs as they appear.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take some time to explore and see which of the fancy charts mean anything to you. You'll thank yourself when you're trying to dig up critical error data later.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
monitor the entire Rails application, error tracking, performance tracking, etc...
Great analytics
What do you like best about the product?
I love seeing in-depth what's working for my site and what isn't.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setup is not as intuitive as it could be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps identify lags in business logic and general performance
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It would be silly not to use some sort of analytic tool like this on a major site you're building
NewRelic is essential for APM
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to see traces of an extremely slow transaction and examine the database queries that ran for that instance. Comparing the CPU, memory, and throughout of all servers for an application.
What do you dislike about the product?
Older data loses precision, but it does show the general data that you are looking for. The general interface can be a bit slow or clunky and take some time to switch time frame or transaction. I would have liked to see historical performance easier to manage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
NewRelic APM allows us to monitor customer experience based on the performance of our servers. Performance changes correlated with our releases allows us to a have clear idea of what improved/worsened the system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The price justifies the benefits you receive in monitoring your application as it grows.
Love and Depend on New Relic
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to get access to data so quickly and to refer to historic data to improve operational decisions.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really do love the software so this may seem petty but not having some kind of up down built into the server monitoring makes it so I need to deploy another agent or utilize an additional tool to get this data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Projecting growth of applications and having real time use statistics at a very granular level have been extremely helpful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great Product at least give it a try.
Always on, consistently easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
As our infrastructure has grown, the level of complexity has grown as well. NewRelic has been a constant for monitoring across all of our services. It is just as simple to get an at-a-glance view of infrastructure health as it was in the beginning.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike about the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Infrastructure health monitoring
Helps my team stay on top of all of our apps
What do you like best about the product?
I like that New Relic keeps me in the loop in regards to what's happening with the applications my team has created. Anytime there's something wrong, I can go in there and start figuring out what the problem is. I also really like the weekly recap emails that let me know the overall health of our apps and any issues that we had during the week.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm a newer user so I sometimes find New Relic a bit overwhelming. I like what it does, but haven't figured out all of the places that I need to go in order to find what I'm looking for. I wish there was a better on-boarding process. In general, I only go into New Relic if there's an issue, but I'd like to start using New Relic on a daily basis to keep tabs on our sites and applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anytime we start having a problem with one of our apps, I immediately log into New Relic to see if I can determine what the problem is. New Relic helps me narrow down my diagnostics so that I can fix the issue faster.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'm not sure what other products are out there, but New Relic does a fantastic job of notifying my team when there are problems with our servers or apps. This is the first company that I've worked at that has had tracking like this, and now I don't know how any company could operate without a product like New Relic.
Tracking memory issues is impossible
What do you like best about the product?
I like the interface, it is nice the free option is also good, the admin dashboard is good because it has good charts and you can turn on / off the things you want to show or hide from the chart. It shows the controllers and models and other consumption metrics which is very good.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, they are not doing anything to help developers to determine where are the +1 queries issues, or memory issues, that's why I switched to Scout. The monitoring options should have some text explaining what means each one, for example: What does mean "Ruby VMs"? How do I know if this is having issues that affect my app? It could be hard to understand those concepts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I only use this app to check what are my most expensive controllers, models (loading speed).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not use it to debug memory issues on ROR
Awesome.
What do you like best about the product?
Their built in Ruby on Rails gem. It just works as soon as you add the gem.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their pricing schema. It doesnt make sense charging by hosts if your setup is elastic on cloud
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Application monitoring, server monitoring, database monitoring and performance monitoring/comparison.
A very good tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the alerts feature that alerts when there are slow transactions. There is the cross app tracing feature which I have not used but sounds promising. It has got a lot of good documentation on how to use the app.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not very intuitive due to the nature of the problem it is trying to solve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Monitoring the server.
2. Pre-empt app down times before it affects the customer
