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

Very helpful
What do you like best about the product?
I run several laravel installations in the cloud and understanding what is going on is crucial to understanding how well the application is performing. New Relic helps alot with that

Use it
Simple & Inutitive
What do you like best about the product?
NewRelic is a simple and intuitive solution that gives detailed performance metrics for every aspect of the environment, in real-time. I love the amount of detail I can receive on very detailed aspects of my software. I am able to view app performance down to specific lines of code. This allows me to see what the code is connected to, effecting and the resources being used.
What do you dislike about the product?
The paid solutions are a bit pricey unless you are looking at it as a scalable solution for your future growth. The only other thing I can think of is that the learning curve is a bit steep for inexperienced users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main business problem we solve using New Relic is the prevention of disasters before they occur. Using this analytic tool we have witnessed a few incidents real time that could potentially effect production users - which we were able to isolate and use emergency change control to fix.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try out the free version first before hopping to the paid solution.
Its a must, for now the healt of your project
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the best it's that it really helps tracking events on the apps, the integration with other services like heroku
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface it's not the best its very chunky, we also use other options like airbrake and its lighter than new relic
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I really like the integration with heroku it has been very handy, it has helped a lot on finding problems and I really like the information that it's given we use it all the time with heroku but the new implemention of heroku has been great and we are analazing if we should continue using new relic
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great for tracking events in your apps, it's one of the best tools in the market
Excellent tool for application and infrastructure monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of deployment and data capture offers great value to cost of implementation. The primary feature usage is APM for application health and transaction monitoring giving a comprehensive overview of activity lifecycle. Synthetics great tool for post-release regression analysis and uptime monitoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface and navigation switch between things like APM, Server, Synthetics and Insights are a bit clunky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Application and infrastructure monitoring with alert integration with other products as well as proactive system maintenance and problem identification.
Good product

Very helpful in troubleshooting issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe could be faster, but super minor.

Tracking down issues
New Relic has been crucial for our infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
New Relic has been a great monitoring tool for our infrastructure allowing us to send out automated alerts for CPU usage, Disk capacity and downtime. It's really simple to get going by installing an agent on each host with your API key and literally only takes minutes to get up and running. The alerting is very robust and customizable, and integrates well with all modern forms of alerts, whether that be SMS, email, and web hook integrations with collaboration clients like Slack.
What do you dislike about the product?
The paid services can quickly get expensive if you have a lot of infrastructure to monitor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
New Relic has helped us solve the problem of monitoring our infrastructure and alerting us when there are problems. Instead of hearing from other employees or end-users we are able to find out the status of infrastructure before that happens.
Unusefull experience to read errors
What do you like best about the product?
Nothing, It a pain in the neck read alerts on their platform
What do you dislike about the product?
The UX is horrible, does no have a flow to see the errors immediately
