New Relic offers several cool options to monitor complex software products built with Java/Ruby/PHP. It can be difficult for developers, administrators, and operators to find isolate problems such as performance to a specific component. The root cause can originate from any or all of the following system elements: devices, browsers, app code, 3rd parties, micro services, customer info, business metrics. The New Relic SaaS Platform collects website data wherever it lives. All New Relic products and capabilities are fully integrated, providing real-time insight into every aspect of a software system, allowing teams to take action—instantly and intelligently.
