You can easily scale it for high message rates, but it's primarily a flow-monitoring tool rather than an APM.

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

"You can easily scale it for high message rates."
"Very simple to use and is a very useful tool."
"Nastel is a world-class company that has partnership amongst other positive qualities embedded into its cultural fiber."
"Flexible environment"
"The database trace was the most useful service, helping us improve performance on our servers by more than 30%."
"Support for plug-ins (RMQ, Redis etc.) is a valuable feature."
"Without APM, you can guess where the problem is, but with APM, you can actually see where it is, which is nice to know."
"It’s just so easy to set up and use with little training, the barrier to entry is extremely low and it adds a high-value."
"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."
"As soon as it monitors all our systems and is integrated with PagerDuty, the operations team just needs to wait for alerts on their cellphones to fix things."
"New Relic APM is a very good, tailor-made solution."
"It has helped my organization to dive deeper into the application using the APM module is very helpful."
 

Cons

"We would like to receive more AWS-specific details from the New Relic Dashboard, like EC2 health."

"Error handling and reporting is a little lackluster, but they're announcing a whole new analytics approach."
