We performed a comparison between New Relic and SolarWinds AppOptics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Server uptime is its most valuable feature."
"They have baseline level alerting."
"It has in-depth analysis using developer code for someone whose not traditionally a developer."
"It has the ability to monitor random URLs not tied to the one pinger per application (though it costs extra)."
"The solution is scalable, and it is easy because all the documentation is available."
"The most valuable features of New Relic are the reports and ease of use."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"As New Relic is already integrated with Drupal, we can get our projects done with best practice and with the best value that we believe in."
"The sum solution, NTA, and DPA."
"I have found the most valuable feature is application performance management."
"Technical support is always live and they're supportive."
"The reporting of the solution is very good."
"Some of the most valuable features of SolarWinds are the topology discovery and network performance analysis."
"The product has a great dashboard."
"Some of our customers see New Relic as a promising product to have, and we would like to deliver it to them. The only way we would be able to do that would be if we had server appliance for clients that we could install in their data centres."
"I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues."
"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."
"New Relic is very slow, and the app is a bit frustrating to use, which is something that has been happening a lot in the past year. During the last six months, I have noticed that it has become extremely laggy."
"I haven't come across any features that are lacking."
"They need to improve the alerting and dashboarding as these are the key features in DevOps."
"In addition, its difficult to have a predictive tool to see how the application would behave in the future when it basically only shows the historical data."
"I think that there have been some questionable product enhancements. Over a year ago, New Relic rolled out a new navigation that really disrupted our workflow."
"I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products."
"The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward."
"AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view."
"The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models."
