We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and New Relic based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Azure Monitor is praised for its lower cost, better integration with Microsoft technologies, and its ability to monitor cloud resources across multiple subscriptions. Although New Relic is easy to use and provides in-depth application information, it is criticized for its pricing structure and lack of network monitoring features. Azure Monitor also offers valuable resources for new users with customizable templates and best practices from Microsoft. Overall, Azure Monitor is regarded as a strong and dependable product that offers excellent value for its cost.
"I am monitoring all of my Azure Monitor and getting good reports. I can customize the reports to get the information I need. I am also getting emails about which AAS instances are down and everything in the system related to my services. It is easy to use, scalable, and user-friendly. Microsoft has Many guides and videos to help you understand how to create and use Azure Monitor."
"It is a robust, stable product."
"Azure Monitor is a very easy-to-use product in the cloud environment."
"The solution has tons of valuable features."
"Recently, they have improved their integration with other resources, so we get even more robust data."
"The most valuable feature is that it ensures our servers are up."
"The upside to the solution is if you are working in a Microsoft or Azure environment, it makes things easier."
"The feature that I found most valuable in Azure Monitor is its monitoring abilities. With Azure Monitor, you are able to monitor all of your cloud resources across multiple subscriptions in one dashboard and create solution-specific alerts that can trigger an email to the team responsible for that specific solution."
"Their technical support is pretty good and responsive. We have a real good relationship with them."
"It has a simple initial setup."
"Every time there is a crisis, high traffic, or if we see a problem with a server, we go to New Relic and monitor it to determine the cause."
"It is easier to create new dashboards in the New Relic interface, and it is also easier to query if when I want to monitor a different parameter or time duration on my dashboard."
"There are many valuable features in New Relic APM. We developed some software applications and we are able to monitor the errors very easily. Their log security retention is very good."
"The VPN is one of the solution's most valuable features for us."
"The breakdown of the response time of different components and getting in-depth details of the slow component are the most valuable features. It is easy to use, and it gets the job done."
"It has prevented failures from occurring in our production environment."
"The default interface should be improved."
"Lacks information including details related to where problems lie."
"The solution should have cross-connection or cross-communication between tech partners."
"Azure Monitor could improve the visualization aspect and integrate better with other third-party services."
"It might not have all of the capabilities we will need."
"In terms of pricing, Azure Monitor's billing based on data size can sometimes lead to increased costs, especially when developers need to purge data frequently. While there are mechanisms in place to track and manage this, there is room for improvement in terms of optimizing data pausing and related processes. Enhancements in this area could help mitigate potential billing concerns and provide a more seamless experience for users."
"When something goes down, we want the option to have automation in place to get it back up again as quickly as possible."
"They can simplify the overall complexity since you have multiple data sources in the cloud for monitoring. It's quite simple, but there are so many portals. It takes time to work with it. If they could simplify the user configuration, that would be good."
"The monitoring is only as good as the alerts that it produces. By having it set up fine grain alerting, it is a bit of a pain."
"They need to improve the alerting and dashboarding as these are the key features in DevOps."
"It would help customers if there were an on-premises version available."
"It gives you amazing statistics, but doesn’t give you enough information about what to do with the statistics."
"It is very difficult to award the service level cycles at an endpoint level."
"They could improve the education process and how people understand that these tools are very technical. Right now, if someone was to pick it up from day one, it is a very steep learning curve."
"In the next release, I'd like to see a better pricing structure."
"The scalability can be improved."
