New Relic Key Benefits

New Relic offers seamless, application-first observability with an easy-to-install stand-alone agent that supports distributed tracing and logging without manual correlation. Unlike Datadog's infrastructure-focused approach, New Relic provides automatic context-mapping across application logs, traces, and external services. With a range of flexible telemetry integration options, New Relic ensures comprehensive data collection, enabling real-time insights and streamlined monitoring for enhanced application performance.

  • Ease of Installation: Datadog’s APM offering requires their infrastructure agent to be leveraged, and then installing the APM agent via script on top of that. New Relic’s agent is stand-alone, easy to deploy and can be configured to include distributed tracing and application logging in context without the need to manually correlate the telemetry sources.
  • Application-First End-To-End Observability: New Relic is application-centric, meaning that it derives insight from the application and assigns context to telemetry from the application layer. DataDog being an infrastructure-first technology means that their APM agents are not as full-bodied and generally require other tools and/or costs to implement.
  • Automatic Context: New Relic APM provides automatic context-mapping for application logs, transaction traces, database queries, external services, and even front-end performance. DataDog relies on manual mapping and tagging to accomplish fluidity within the platform.
  • Flexibility: New Relic offers various ways to send telemetry: Agents, on-host and cloud integrations APIs, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and the list goes on. New Relic also includes the Flex Integration, which allows consumers of the platform to collect data from any service or device on a host. All of this data is treated as first-party in New Relic and is directly accessible from the UI and API to build dashboards, visualisations, and alerts.

How It Works

Our process begins with a comprehensive discovery and assessment to map out your assets, telemetry sources, and application dependencies. We then prioritise workloads and set up dashboards for a smooth migration to New Relic, followed by optimisation and expansion to ensure enhanced observability and the safe decommissioning of Datadog’s APM.
