"The most valuable feature is the solutions overall performance. It is very efficient and accurate for our usage."
"Its monitoring and key purpose capabilities are the most valuable. It provides the root cause of problems and helps peers join the war room."
"I think one of the most valuable features is the Dynatrace API, for both metrics and configuration."
"The geographical view provides a nice visualization of performance on a map."
"We have substantially lowered incidents in our organization."
"Complete visibility into end-to-end user transactions."
"The ability for Dynatrace to identify the root cause of problems in a timely manner through its powerful AI capability and dependency mapping is a real value add for the service that we offer."
"The Transaction Flow diagram and the class and meta level information, those are really key selling points in the automation for AppMon. Also, the meta level instrumentation and the dashboards that most of the people use in our organization."
"We use the Dynatrace AI to assess impact. Because it links to real users, it is generally pretty correct in terms of when it raises an incident. We determine the severity by how many users it is affecting, then we use it as business justification to put a priority on that alert."
"The end-to-end distributor tracing connectivity isn't there."
"In the next release, I would like to see the possibility of sharing the metric from this solution with other solutions."
"It still has a long way to go to reach that single pane of glass."
"The products or company go through a rebrand/renaming about once a year, which creates some confusion with our customers."
"The AppMon 6.5 is problematic in configuring. It is little finicky. When we configured the JVM, it did not work."
"I would like to have the ability to share live data with selected third parties so that they can see how their product is performing for our company."
"While designing the business dashboard, I encountered various bugs that impacted my work."
"C language integration requires manual implementation through the SDK, which is rather difficult and time consuming."
"If there was something that could be done at a local developer's station, something like, "Hey, here's a hint, this thing looks like it might not be optimized," or the like. I think more development features, to hedge that performance would be good."
"We ran into a problem where the Dynatrace JavaScript agent is returning errors, and it's very apparent that there's a problem. However, the customer support will ask us for seemingly unnecessary details instead of looking at our dashboard through their account to see what the problem is. They ask us for a lot of details not really related to solving the problem. As a result, we still have a few issues that were never resolved. They're not major issues, but they're kind of frustrating."
