What do you like best about the product?
APM works plug and play with the Play Framework
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is not so beautiful and user-friendly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
APM monitoring our staging and production servers
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A very complete monitoring solution. A bit on the expensive side but few solution offer so much compatibility with different frameworks without writing a line of code.
New Relic APM is easy and very helpul
What do you like best about the product?
New Relic enables its customers to realize extensive savings in time and money as it streamlines everyday business operations. Distributed Tracing support will let you track a user request through every service in the chain and more easily discover latency issues, path errors, and performance bottlenecks.
What do you dislike about the product?
No such dislike. Application setting up is a bit complex.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Application performance used to drop at peak traffic hours. New relic helped to find the exact MySql database queries that were consuming most of the CPU. We traced and resolved all such database queries and functions. Now application performance is far better.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take free trial to test application performance at least once.
Server monitoring, but lots of overlap with AWS tools.
What do you like best about the product?
Server health monitoring is easy to setup and works well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features are not a good fit for AWS stacks. Free tier is going away.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Makes monitoring of physical assets (cpu usage, hard-drive space, etc.) quick and easy.
Very good, equally expensive
What do you like best about the product?
NewRelic almost always has the information I need to debug issues that are going on. Error reports are good, with the details that I need to debug, and data shows up without any delay from when the event occurs.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is kind of clunky and clicking on anything results in spinners and waiting. When trying to find details of things you're made to click around looking for traces and related DB queries, which the UI makes annoying, and the constant loading spinners make it painful when guessing wrong in the UI.
The price is also very high, and that only seems to get you in the door. More features are available for increases from there, although for the price you'd think it'd be all-inclusive.

Monitoring and debugging performance and functionality of live web applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have the money to spend, it's a very nice tool.
Good software
What do you like best about the product?
Easy start-up and maintenance. Good solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe performance issues (reported by other people). For my use a I don't report issues now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring
Very helpful
What do you like best about the product?
I run several laravel installations in the cloud and understanding what is going on is crucial to understanding how well the application is performing. New Relic helps alot with that
What do you dislike about the product?
First experience using New Relic was not easy.

Good product
What do you like best about the product?
Very helpful in troubleshooting issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe could be faster, but super minor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking down issues
Easy setup, detailed metrics
What do you like best about the product?
There are several modules composing NewRelic (Browser, Synthetics, Servers, Mobile, etc) but what I mainly use is server monitoring and the profiling tool, which gives valuable insights into the errors and bottlenecks of the code. We use it with Ruby on Rails app, and it works great.
Slack integration (especially for monitoring) and easy installation (we use Ubuntu servers) are a defined plus as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't quite like the pricing model, as it is per server. Running several apps on distributed, scaling servers this makes it way too expensive than it should reasonably be. For this reason we can't use NewRelic on those specific projects.
The learning scale is a tad steep, but that's to be expected for such a powerful product, so no complaints there.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to be able to monitor app performance and notify problems in realtime to the right users is a definite productivity boost; we were able to minimize downtime and raise our apps' availability.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give the trial version a good check, as it is very easy to install and you can realize hands-on how useful it will be for you; at the same time, be careful with the pricing model and do your maths.
In depth system monitoring tool, including visibility into SQL query performance
What do you like best about the product?
Ruby on Rails integration
Slack integration
Easy to setup and use
Extensive analysis tools, from server performance, transaction performance down to SQL queries. The browser support can be revealing as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
The fancy javascript UI doesn't support sharing a screen by pasting a URL - it loses the timeframe you were looking at. There is a workaround - a button on the bottom of the screen - but it took a support call to find it. Often, our team resorts sharing screenshots instead.
The UI, while beautiful and powerful, is also confusing to the point where they recommend training courses.
It's outrageously expensive - I once calculated that it would cost about 25% of my EC2 costs if I deployed it on every server.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to get realtime insights in the performance of the system, which lets our team discover and fix performance programs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I wish they would consider more the typical user, as opposed to making this beautiful UI that demos well, but is often frustrating to use.
However, I've looked around, and this seems to be only game in town for good real time performance analysis if you care about database performance. If you don't care about database performance, then there are other options.
