This is really easy to set up and it provides a really good monitoring service which allows to keep an eye on every services, for free too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Prices are rather high when you want to go to a premium service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is really helpful for keeping an eye on both the server, the application, the database (and the queries made from the application on the database). It can help to identify slow queries, bottleneck in application, traffic charge, server disk IO and a lot of other items.
When my application was running slowly, it really helped me to identify what's wrong.

Backend X-ray

Transaction tracing across hosts. Error alerts. Scalability analysis.

The UI is a little overwhelming at times.

It monitors my servers. Mail me when bad happens, and profile it when good happens
What do you like best about the product?
It monitors and relate several aspects of the service. The main one, response time, is split on the "layers" of backend, like "python, redis, postgres, network"
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version is very feature-complete, but the 1st level of paid one is very expensive IMHO

My crap hosting provider does not recognise when bad happens. New relic tells me what, why and give lots of clues on how to solve it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Is easy to start, but not dumb-proof. Please put effort on it. Will payoff on your 1st outage or performance issue
Must have tool for professional software development
What do you like best about the product?
If you don't know NewRelic, you should stop reading it and visit their website. New Relic is the best tool for software application active-analysis that every company should pay for.
New Relic can log your application errors with all information about it (headers, request parameters, error response) including error type, error date and time and even counting how many times an error occur between some time space.
Also, NewRelic measures how your application performs: how many secs your app taken to response a given request.
NewRelic has a great Profiling tool which can describe by method call level, which method is consuming more time/resource to be done, request by request. This is a huge help to find software implementation problems and also, to check if your submission in fact solve it later.
It also has Alerts to e-mail you (or your team) if your application goes offline or starting to error more than your configured Threshold.
Everything can be configured; but if you doesn't know how to, you can use their defaults which is great, too.
NewRelic support is awesome. Well trained people with great support by e-mail, phone or even conference call (depending on your plan).
