SolarWinds vs. New Relic
SolarWinds offers a full-stack, integrated solution with a strong legacy in on-premises monitoring, which has evolved for hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Instead of a single, unified database, such as New Relic, SolarWinds Observability is a suite of tightly integrated products, providing a unified dashboard for a "single pane of glass" view.
SolarWinds offers flexible deployment options, allowing customers to choose between self-hosted or SaaS solutions, with easy integration between the two. In contrast, New Relic is a SaaS-only platform that does not offer an on-premises deployment option.
New Relic is a SaaS-only product and does not offer the same depth of monitoring for on-premises environments. On the other hand, SolarWinds allows organizations to observe everything from anywhere with full hybrid coverage.
New Relic’s pricing can escalate quickly, as it is based on usage. SolarWinds offers more predictable cost structures, making it easier for IT teams to manage budgets while scaling.
The Highest Compliment Is Our Customers’ Trust
"Having previously utilized solutions such as New Relic, Datadog, and Dynatrace, the organization finds that this platform offers a streamlined and intuitive view of the operational environment, enabling rapid and efficient root cause analysis of issues."
