"The deployment was easy."
"The time it takes to track problems in applications is the most valuable return that we have from this solution."
"JVM memory monitoring and connection pool monitoring are valuable features."
"Users no longer need to depend upon the console for a compatible Java version. Now, users can directly learn the version, perform all their actions, and see all of those performance-related issues."
"If we see something that we need to change or monitor, we can get it scripted pretty quickly."
"Proactive snapshots of transactions and all details of a transaction are saved in case of an error."
"The most valuable feature of Broadcom DX Application Performance Management is its very light model with monitoring of servers and network items."
"Being able to pull in and merge the infrastructure and application data."
"It will allow us to eventually become more proactive when problems start arising. We can see them before they happen and address them before there is any impact to our customers."
"Given the full-stack approach, you are able to view from the end user perspective, almost down to the bare metal."
"I like the PurePaths dashlet the most. This is mostly because as soon I open the PurePaths dashlet and sort by response time, there is the problem. Every time."
"It has helped us by reducing the number of incidents that we have had in the past."
"Support is very transparent in issues, what they need to do, and how they need to fix certain issues and problems."
"Dynatrace has the most features compared to other products we looked at."
"Having the metrics easily understood and easily articulating the information."
"Comprehensive suite of solutions that can address all aspects of applications from dev to ops."
"Dashboards need to be improved in order to make them self-explanatory."
"The upcoming changes for the deployment process of the agent will help a lot, in that others have gotten to that point first."
"I would like to see intelligence, deep intelligence or deep analytics."
"Its profiling. The uniqueness instead of me looking at sampling data, I need to know the m-1 event that actually triggered my scenario where that m event caused a catastrophic event, like a ripple effect; I need to know that m-1. What triggered my major event means I need to understand the event that triggered it and before the cause of that event itself."
"CEM needs to be simplified, because it causes too many interruptions in our daily work."
"Stability could actually be helped because it is a wrapper or an agent on our system. If we are having a bad day in production or if other resources are being utilized, then we will get get gaps in our monitoring system."
"They need to add support for new frameworks, or at least provide a broader guide/perspectives to add them to monitoring specific agents to retrieve metrics with thresholds as a reference to guide the customer as to where they must go to achieve this."
"One of the challenges is agent releases. So as we employ agents, they are done relatively manually. A little bit of automating of agent release would be helpful."
"Improve Dynatrace for the following industries: telco, eCommerce, and banking."
"I would suggest to have more rich client features on Appmon as soon as possible."
"The licensing part is complicated or not transparent. It is very difficult to assess the number of licenses for a prospect. You have to do a PoC, and calculating the number of licenses for two years or three years is sometimes very difficult. It also depends on each case. There are multiple types of licenses. Sometimes, you need only one of them, and sometimes, you need all of them. This is an area for improvement."
"The only challenge is that it's an extensive tool that requires a significant amount of time to learn."
"The container platform could include more value-added features."
"We are waiting on the new features to see how they perform."
"It would be nice to have a simplified monitoring feature for non-Java applications."
"More integrations could prove very beneficial to us."
