New relic has helped us automatically track errors before our customers find them!
What do you like best about the product?
Automatic reports of the health of our websites telling us if there are any errors. It's great to receive emails with these updates which we forward into our project management tool for them to be assigned to look into.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found anything in particular so far that I dislike. The application suites our use-case pretty well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have around 5 servers involved in our development/production workflow that need monitoring. New relic provides automatic monitoring of these servers and sends us emails anytime anything is wrong. This is great because it catches things before our customers see issues.
Great all in one solution with good team support
What do you like best about the product?
- Centralized threshold based monitoring for majority of data sources
- Deep easy to use integration with common application frameworks like Django
- Good responsive support team
- NewRelic Insight is pretty useful for getting more detailed analysis

What do you dislike about the product?
- performance lags sometimes
- ALL alerts must be threshold based, sometimes, we want to get alerted on ANY incidence of a particular type
- gets costly once you scale up

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saas application server monitoring, we integrated very easily through Heroku and have pretty good SSO support for the entire team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely try them out at the free tier and then decide whether to upgrade.
Wow level of information
What do you like best about the product?
For web application analysis the level of information available is insane. It goes into details like application load time api calls, time taken, errors happening, user interactions with the page....the whole works!
What do you dislike about the product?
The ui gets a bit getting used to. Its almost like a developer tool bar for a web engineer. But once you understand your way around, it is like a big timeline of what user does on the application
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance of our web application in mobile devices. Especially the load time was a concern for us - the application was having a significant time lapse from the time user tried to accesss the application and when he heard the music play.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For tracking the performance of web applications - it does not get better than this.
Excensial tool for DevOps
What do you like best about the product?
The simplest way to use and see what's happening with my infrastructure and applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app, the alarms systems and (most important) the disk IO analysis. NewRelic don't have a physical disk IO, just logical IO
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can prevent problems on my infrastructure and be active to solve performance problems in my applications.
New Relic is awesome!!!
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of implementation
Ability to configure objects and events and view actions as funnel
Ability to dig deep down into an event and find the root cause of that event (esp. if unknown - like an error)

What do you dislike about the product?
Bloated interface - In the age of conversational bots, I'd like to be able to converse with a New Relic bot authenticated to my account and show me the main things I ask for. Right now, I have to go through severeral menus to gain access to features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring of website of website traffic - I develop several web apps and I need to monitor if there is dip in traffic or if something has been badly configured for investigation purposes. Conventional analytics platforms only show "what happened" - list events and timestamps. With New Relic, I can investigate what happened - is the event user-related (did the user do something that caused the error), is the event linked the size of an image making the entire page load slowly, are the scripts too big and not relying on a pre-loader? New Relic is essentially an analytics and forensic platform! It works out of the box and you get a lot more from using it than with conventional analytics platforms.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You'll need someone who is highly analytical to use the interface and investigate the issues - insight still needs to be translated by a human - New Relic only presents you with the forensic data.
Love it for health and hygiene story planning
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to see most frequent errors and create a Jira story based on the error.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not always easy to nail down database issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Has helped increase performance and reliability for customers
New Relic -- Data in Minutes
What do you like best about the product?
NewRelic is a suite of tools that provide you with the ability to see all aspects of your application. The integration with AWS was trivial and we had data to consume within minutes. Our favorite parts of the app:
APM -- We use this often to find hot spots in our application. We compare the before-and-after with software updates to make sure changes are operating as expected.
BROWSER -- Gives us great insight into how our application is performing on the desktop and what type of browsers are in use. When used with the APM, these two components give you the ability to really X-RAY your application.
SYNTHETICS -- We've built custom monitors using the scripting language and use this to verify everything is working as expected. We love the historical ability to see load time by location.
PLUGINS -- Easy way for us to load stats for our EC2, ELB, SNS, SQS, RDS instances.... all done via a simple plug-in. Now we have one place to look for everything.
INSIGHTS -- My favorite. Write custom queries using a built-in query language and save commonly used queries to dashboards. We display dashboard around the office to monitor all our NewRelic collected metrics in real-time. *Awesome*
Support -- not a component, but the NewRelic support team has always been responsive and helpful. Great to work with.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to say that is negative. It's a little overwhelming if you are trying to leverage every aspect of the product. It is best to start with one thing and then grow from there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking to get insight into our application running in production and use metrics to focus our plan for improvement. We've been able to make many changes based on NewRelic feedback.
Fantastic for identifying performance issues
What do you like best about the product?
I can't recommend newrelic enough, it drills down into your code line by line and tells you where your slow downs are. They also offer browser insights which allows you to see what is going wrong with your JavaScript as well (additional fee).
The historical logging of performance is also of extreme use, expecially when you've had a problem while you are in bed and have no idea where to even start.
Finally, the alerting system is second to none, my director pays for a secondary level monitoring system and newrelic is always without fail the first one to tell me about a problem.

What do you dislike about the product?
Depending on the system you are using, their website is extremely JavaScript heavy and can cause hanging if you're using an outdated machine.
One pitfall of the alerting is you need the app on your phone, it would be of extreme handiness if they implemented some kind of SMS system.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Ecommerce performance problems, can see where your code is slowing down on a line by line basis.
- Browser optimisation via Browser Insights, you can drill down to what JS/images are causing you slow downs and improve the performance of your website easily.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are having performance issues with your website, it is well worth jumping onto newrelic. Also great for when you are running mail campaigns or a large hyped release as it identifies exactly where your slow downs are coming from.
New Relic Application Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
New Relic application monitoring provides various statistical data and the way it show on dashboard the performance metrics of the applications running. It is also integrated with Pivotal Cloud Foundry so you can also look at one of the cloud solutions where in you would be able to monitor application performance easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far its good enough so no dislikes. But as I go far I may get some glitches and potential points for improvement which I can suggest
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance metrics of applications. How we can boost application performances.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a great software definitely give a try
