IT Support Specialist at a real estate/law firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

Great for visibility but lacks many features and difficult to update

We're customers. We don't have a special relationship with the company. I am the operation's application administrator. At the moment, the solution is monitoring the applications that we want it to monitor. We're not looking at it on a daily basis. We just use it here and there. The challenge we have is that we believe that Dynatrace can address some tasks we'd like done that are not possible to execute on this solution. Dynatrace includes monitoring of not just the logs, but the applications as well. Dynatrace also makes us include firewalls, etc. We could have it so there are end to end solutions or identifications within the process. What we have right now is only the app server as well as the database server and its connectivity. The solution does save time that's caused when creating SQL coding. However, there are some issues around AppInternals changing the code and giving us issues. From the point of view of the top management, we want a more permanent solution. We want to identify what causes issues and we are looking for a more end-to-end solution. That is why we are looking at Dynatrace. I don't know if I have any advice for other organizations. The experience I have is only based on my own limited experience. However, I believe that the application has the potential to be really good if it identifies what is really important to an organization. It's still sort of half-baked without AppResponse. Without the other key features in infrastructure, like the network, firewalls, and proxies, it's lacking. It's not fully complete. I'd rate the solution six out of ten. It addresses some of our needs, but there's a lot lacking that could be added to make it a fuller, more interesting product.

Senior Manager of Operations at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees

Simple to use but incredibly powerful

Great for rapid root cause, data is presented back in a way that is easy for non technical stakeholders to absorb (DBAs, Cap Analysts, testers, developers, application support), easy deployment on Oracle and SQL systems. Trending all SQL statements over time is invaluable to understand step changes. i.e is this slow because it is processing more or because an explain plan has changed.Dashboards and reports are very powerful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code)."

"Transaction Tracing is the most useful. Being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable."

"If you want to save time for problem resolution, and to address problem on your environments you should try Riverbed OPNET."

"Mean time to isolate a problem has dropped by 50-75% in each region since we've deployed the Riverbed SteelCentral suite."

"My advice to others would be to use this solution for monitoring."

"Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability."

"Many times what might have taken hours or days can be resolved in a few minutes."

"Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive"

More Aternity AppInternals [EOL] pros

"Great for rapid root cause, data is presented back in a way that is easy for non technical stakeholders to absorb (DBAs, Cap Analysts, testers, developers, application support), easy deployment on Oracle and SQL systems."

"Gives an excellent perspective on the state of the system at fault as well as the past!"

Cons

"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."

"We had issues with the end-to-end view of unique customer: reviewing end-to-end customer problems to see where a problem is about customer, code, DB or network."

"We have put in a request as an enhancement that we would like to search for items. If we're searching for a URL and we want to know was it a get or was it a post."

"It would be great if the solution could offer fixed bundles and more features."

"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."

"The technical support is not very good and should be improved."

"It's still sort of half-baked without AppResponse. Without the other key features in infrastructure, like the network, firewalls, and proxies, it's lacking."

"There are some functional bugs when using TTW and making report queries (to generate graphs)."

More Aternity AppInternals [EOL] cons

"Web monitoring could be more robust and intuitive."

"The user interface requires little change-but this problem is small compared to the capabilities of the tool"

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model is expensive compared to its competitors, but the service it gives to your business, and the data quality, means that it's worth it."

"The licensing model for v9 is better where it is an individual license per server, while v10 licenses are per JVM/ .NET and server instance. The latter model appears to be the model that other APM vendors are using."
