Frequently asked questions
New Relic Free Tier offers 100 GB/month, why pay for SecuMon?
New Relic's free tier is generous on ingest, but limited to 1 Full Platform user. As soon as a team needs to collaborate (2+ users), costs explode. For SMBs and MSPs, SecuMon's per-host model better matches ops team realities.
Is New Relic Loi 25 compliant?
New Relic offers US and EU regions, no dedicated Canada region. And the company remains US under CLOUD Act. SecuMon solves both — strict Québec residency and Québec operator.
Migration from New Relic to SecuMon?
We support migration: replacing the New Relic agent with OpenTelemetry (open standard), recreating dashboards, mapping alerts. Typical: 2-3 weeks for an SMB stack.
Does SecuMon have the same APM features?
SecuMon uses OpenTelemetry for APM, covering common languages (Go, Node, Python, Java, .NET, Ruby, PHP). Distributed tracing, profiling, error tracking included. OpenTelemetry instrumentation is portable — no proprietary agent lock-in.
