“The ability to innovate and deliver solutions that cater to customer needs will be crucial to remain competitive,” said GigaOm Principal Analyst Ron Williams. “New Relic currently holds a leading position in innovation and offers robust features such as real-time data monitoring, exceptional dashboards that aid users in tracking resource performance, and dominance in critical areas such as user interaction performance monitoring.”
Embarking on a bold journey
From our beginnings in 2008, we’ve been unwavering in our commitment to engineers in finding innovative solutions that solve the data challenge. Three years ago, we realized that the market was shifting, and we made the bold decision to completely rebuild our technology and business, to stay ahead of the curve.
We rearchitected our solution to build the industry’s only all-in-one observability platform, with a unified data platform, 30+ integrated capabilities and a single platform-usage pricing model.
Today, we are years ahead of vendors who offer disjointed tools, multiple pricing models and SKUs, with a limited ability to truly correlate disparate data across the tech stack and resolve issues.
GigaOm recognizes the value
New Relic’s leadership position in innovation, reflects our ability to understand the future of the market and solve for customer needs.
Some of the highlights on the value New Relic delivers to customers, noted by GigaOm within the report include:
- Full lifecycle observability: Full-stack visibility from the client side (mobile, browser) to back-end services, to databases, infrastructure, and networks, with the ability to view traces and logs in context.
- Pricing: Single platform packaged and priced as an all-in-one solution, allowing any user with a full license access to the full platform.
- Hyperscale data cloud platform: Unified telemetry platform supports high-cardinality data from a range of sources including New Relic agents, open source solutions, and proprietary data sources spanning MELT.
- Insights: Automap capabilities visualize dependencies. Java profiler enables troubleshooting cluster behavior to diagnose and improve performance bottlenecks.
- User experience monitoring: Browser and real-user monitoring for front-end app performance. Different types of synthetic monitors for broken-links, certificate-checks, API tests and more.
- Dashboards and reporting: Live dashboards show telemetry in real-time or capture a specific moment in time. Users can import, query, and create custom dashboards and reports on all their telemetry data.
- Security monitoring: Security is an outstanding area for New Relic with vulnerability manager, a new feature with the ability to connect to NIST when needed.
