Why teams consider Fivenines instead of New Relic
-
Plan around the resources you monitor
Fivenines plans share one allowance across server monitors, uptime checks, cron tasks and network devices. Review that allowance and the features included in your plan before choosing. New Relic combines data ingestion with user or compute pricing, depending on the model.
-
Keep the host and its services together
Collect CPU, memory, disk and network metrics with the Fivenines agent, then enable the database and service collectors you need. External uptime checks cover the website or API your users reach.
-
Built-in status pages
Connect monitoring to incident workflows and a public status page. Keep customer communication next to the signals your team uses to investigate.
When New Relic might be a better fit
Evaluate on One Server First
- Choose a representative host. Install the agent and check that CPU, memory, disk and network history are arriving. Keep your existing monitoring during the evaluation.
- Follow one service end to end. Enable its supported database or service collector and add an external uptime check for the website or API.
- Prove the alert route. Use a test resource to verify a notification and its recovery. Compare coverage, operating effort and your monitor allowance before extending the rollout.
New Relic offers a free tier and several paid pricing models. Check New Relic's current pricing page against your usage. Fivenines plan limits are shown on our pricing page; there is no universal savings figure for every workload.
