We performed a comparison between Akamai mPulse and New Relic 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."Enables dynamic injections from within the product which is great."
"The most valuable feature is the solutions overall performance. It is very efficient and accurate for our usage."
"It is a one stop shop and integrated with PagerDuty seamlessly. The solution is pretty self-contained."
"The solution is quite stable."
"It has in-depth analysis using developer code for someone whose not traditionally a developer."
"The simplicity of the dashboard is very good."
"The integration and configuration of New Relic is straightforward and easy."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It is easy to track and easy to follow."
"Server uptime is its most valuable feature."
"The monitoring so far has been good and we are happy with it."
"In the next release, I would like to see the possibility of sharing the metric from this solution with other solutions."
"The end-to-end distributor tracing connectivity isn't there."
"Compared to their competitors, they are missing some features at the moment."
"The connectivity between legacy and newer cloud applications is not great."
"The older view is much better than the new view that they have. We'd like to go back to that previous version. The user interface just isn't as nice as it used to be."
"New Relic does enable frontend performance monitoring by default. However, when we are troubleshooting the issue, New Relic is not able to trace back to the service where the issue is. Other solutions, such as Dynatrace are better."
"I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues."
"One thing I'd like to see in any APM, especially New Relic, is the ability to use distributed transactions. When one microservice calls another, it calls another database and microservice. The entire data visualization layer will not be able to correlate from one microservice from end to end and return on that path. Distributed transactions would be a great addition that would make life simpler. Unfortunately, no APM has that end-to-end capability."
"One thing that we noticed was that historical information was only for a limited period, which was not helpful in certain scenarios. For example, if I want to size my system for an event for New Year or Christmas season based on the historical data, I won't be able to find the historical data. Currently, the data is limited to three months. It would be helpful if they can provide historical data for a longer duration so that we can plan our system accordingly."
"The solution needs to have staging."
