Application Insights vs New Relic
Developers should use Application Insights when building and maintaining applications on Azure or in hybrid environments to gain deep insights into application health and performance meets developers should use new relic when building or maintaining applications that require high availability, performance optimization, and proactive issue detection, such as in e-commerce, saas, or microservices architectures. Here's our take.
Application Insights
Developers should use Application Insights when building and maintaining applications on Azure or in hybrid environments to gain deep insights into application health and performance
Application Insights
Nice PickDevelopers should use Application Insights when building and maintaining applications on Azure or in hybrid environments to gain deep insights into application health and performance
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable for monitoring production applications, detecting and diagnosing performance bottlenecks, tracking user engagement, and setting up alerts for critical issues
- +Related to: azure-monitor, azure-log-analytics
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
New Relic
Developers should use New Relic when building or maintaining applications that require high availability, performance optimization, and proactive issue detection, such as in e-commerce, SaaS, or microservices architectures
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable for teams adopting DevOps practices, as it integrates with CI/CD pipelines and provides actionable insights to reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) and improve user experience through features like APM, infrastructure monitoring, and AI-powered alerts
- +Related to: application-performance-monitoring, observability
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Application Insights if: You want it is particularly valuable for monitoring production applications, detecting and diagnosing performance bottlenecks, tracking user engagement, and setting up alerts for critical issues and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use New Relic if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable for teams adopting devops practices, as it integrates with ci/cd pipelines and provides actionable insights to reduce mean time to resolution (mttr) and improve user experience through features like apm, infrastructure monitoring, and ai-powered alerts over what Application Insights offers.
