Good product for alerts and diagnostics
What do you like best about the product?
Almost online monitoring, requests and metrics count gets visible in a short time.
Tools like transaction details are great, watching which are the most common calls and time, it even tells you where the app is consuming most (part of a transaction / request).
It shows CPU, errors, stacktraces, and a lot more useful information.
It's also good to make own personalized dashboards with metrics.

What do you dislike about the product?
Alert system is not quite good. It's not based in history and maybe with low count of errors the apps make new alerts in which many of them are not real.
Appdex score is good but it's hard to deduct the score.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for an easy monitoring system to control your app, you may use NewRelic, it's great to watch traffic, response time, errors, stacktraces for easily find bugs, own metrics and more.
If you combine NR with other apps, you'll get online alerting, even with a mobile app so you don't need to be actively in the site and you can wait for any problem to occurs.
Try also database monitorings, transaction counts and times.

Web site up time monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
I can see the response rate of my website as well as in case of any down times it will automatically send me a notification. The setup of the new relic was simply and straightforward as i was using it along with a node.js application on Heroku
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be a little complicated to use, but the setup was easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was a normal website, it enable me to know when is my website down or up
Expensive but sometimes worth it
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to setup, and in general the service's uptime is good. We rarely have to worry about New Relic being an issue for us in terms of affecting our app. There is little to no performance impact by its agent either. The support has been excellent in the few interactions we've had to have with them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Frankly, the UI is a mess. It's difficult to find what you want and sometimes it's tricky to interpret things right. Part of that is that their stats aren't very useful at times. They don't use rigorous statistical methods (usually just averages over time), so things get skewed a lot easier by application quirks or network issues. Also, it's very expensive. There are several other options that are in a much lower price bracket that cover the 80% case for most people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It does help us find slow queries in our Rails application that might otherwise escape our notice. It's also useful for quickly spotting slow actions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would evaluate other options first and pick one that fits your needs best. New Relic may be *exactly* what you need, or it may end up being too finicky for you. It just depends on what your ultimate goal is and how much you want to invest in customizing things.
Great to analyze bottlenecks
What do you like best about the product?
- Realtime charts that gives an idea of application health
- Granularity of data: time spent in database, web externals, etc.
- Browser tracking of DOM ready: allows us to monitor if our Javascript processing is optimized/acceptable

- Browser tracking of DOM ready: allows us to monitor if our Javascript processing is optimized/acceptable
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of information about page views, to balance the load against real use of the application. For now, we still need to have Analytics to have a precise idea of when things goes wrong.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identify which pages were really slow in production (which weren't in local due to database indexing/cache/etc.)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Amazing to optimize application that are already lives, without benchmarking everything everytime. Has a ton of other features also interesting, for people who wants to do even more monitor, espacilly in mobile apps.
