User Testimonials
	Bugfender	New Relic
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	It is perfect for observing our energy platforms during high-load situations, such as grid demand spikes, or our real-time ingest of sensor data, allowing us to respond in real time to anomalies. And it’s a good way to monitor API performance in client dashboards, too. But it’s not as conducive for low-budget/low-code work or deep customization that doesn’t get ample development support given its complexity and expense. Incentivized AJ Alex Jones Energy Engineer Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Capturing Front end Metrics specially web vitals and setting up alerts for violations really helps. NRQL is great tool to fetch the data you need. With queries you can pull the data and put the data by table or by chart. You can even trend graphs and create dashboards. Synthetic Monitoring is very helpful for proactive monitoring. You can use it for user journeys by using scripted browser monitor type or just check availability using PING type. ASk AI is great addition that can fetch details you need with natuaral language Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	Support for SQL like query with more functional features of analysis while viewing distributed tracing. support for very low level specific integration from APIs to classes to functions to piece of code More detailed documentation, as we faced issues while integrating for the first time.

Support Rating	No answers on this topic	The support team has been really helpful and resolved most of the issues on time. However, for a couple of issues, several follow-ups were needed to elicit a reasonable response. The issue was deeply technical and could have been investigated only by their Architects, and bringing them into the ticket took longer than needed Incentivized Piyush Goel Senior Vice President - Engineering Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	The documentation was clear and concise; the only issue we ran into was custom application naming. Due to HTTPD mod_fcgid and the need for the application name to be set in php.ini (not in .htaccess or the virtual host directive) ... we had issues setting this up.

Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	Its covers all the observability aspects as well as giving us more competitive pricing models compared to other providers that's why I like to use New Relic in place of other tools. And also it introduces new Agentic AI features as well as it adopts AI in its RCA. As an observability tool it should reduce the RCA of any problem and New Relic is continuously focusing on that that's why I am preferring New Relic in place of other tools.
