It offers different licensing types that allow you to extend the services to clients; it lets you look into device performance and optimization and helps apply best practices
What I like best about IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is that it offers different licensing types. Hence, it allows my organization to extend the services to clients and not just use the solution within the organization. My organization can leverage IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to learn more about how clients perform because the solution lets you monitor and optimize devices and apply best practices.

Real-time alerts have reduced server outage impact and support fast incident response
In the dashboard, if they could show a little more metrics regarding the application and related things, that would be how New Relic could be improved. Currently, there are things showing from the server level and application level, but it can be improved. That is what I felt. Regarding user interface, I do not feel much concern, but for some kind of issues when we are trying to get support from the New Relic team, their SLA seems to be long. They are taking seven to ten working days for resolving some kind of scenario or issue. That is a bit difficult for us. If they could improve the customer support by reducing their SLA within three to five days, if they could remediate everything, that will be so much helpful. When it comes to the customer support part, I felt they need to be a little more improved on that part. The support overall is good, but they can improve. That is the reason I have given it eight out of ten.

Pros

"My organization can leverage IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to learn more about how clients perform because the solution lets you monitor and optimize devices and apply best practices."
"Customer Service: 5 stars! Excellent. Technical Support: 5 stars! Excellent."
"Now with the features given through up.time we have over 300 + monitors constantly checking every environment that we have and also checking databases for errors."
"Easy to setup and begin monitoring."
"New Relic has helped us in terms of optimizing our print and loading times, and it has solved many of our performance issues."
"New Relic has been in the business for a while, it offers a wide selection to attach a monitoring mobile app, server, and cloud, and if you want to go with just one product, it fits all your needs."
"Customer Service: Excellent. Technical Support: Excellent."
"The alerting is by far the most valuable feature, closely followed by the way the platform correlates incidents across applications and components."
"The integration and configuration of New Relic is straightforward and easy."
"It visualizes metrics well and tracks our incoming requests, providing a lot of detail which is useful for troubleshooting."
"I advise that New Relic is the best APM tool available, providing everything you need to pinpoint root causes for performance bottlenecks and serving as an effective observability tool for production telemetry metrics."
"The most valuable feature of New Relic is its ease of use."
 

Cons

"Maintenance windows need to be streamlined."
"What I want to improve in IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is the community aspect, where IDERA would provide customers with updates on functionalities, what comes next, what IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor upgrades would be released, etc. I also want the sustainability of IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to improve."
"While you can restrict particular users to only see subsets of the reports, it isn't as easy as it could be."
"They need to improve the alerting and dashboarding as these are the key features in DevOps."
"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."
"There is no proper management of roles and divisions; if I develop a dashboard for myself, everyone else has access to it, and you just add someone to the platform and he gets access to all the dashboards."
"There are a number of plugins that New Relic makes. It would be nice to be able to instantly integrate that with APM."
"Probably make the query language a little bit easier."
"The ROI is not crystal clear but can be found in preventing performance issues in production and a better/shorter troubleshoot possibility when suffering performance- and/or scalability/Availability issues on a production system."
"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."
"The pricing model. New Relic can be expensive for growing startups."
