We performed a comparison between AWS Auto Scaling and Dynatrace based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the ability to select a minimum amount of active servers so that a new server automatically launches if one fails."
"It helps us to reduce the cost."
"When a lot of traffic comes into our organization, the product scales our instances based on our environment’s requirements."
"It efficiently handles traffic, ensuring we are not running expenses and the infrastructure is strong enough to handle the load."
"The various scaling options available, such as step scaling, are particularly useful."
"The health check integration feature ensures that the instances are healthy and capable of absorbing traffic, thus serving their purpose effectively."
"AWS Auto Scaling is cost-effective and very useful for businesses."
"It can scale."
"Whether it is the server, database, network, or application, Dynatrace provides a consistent unambiguous view of performance."
"This tool enables us to make intelligent, fact-based decisions faster."
"We have been capturing all the information and evaluating whether it can be improved or not."
"Our development group has started using Dynatrace extensively. It helps them find bottlenecks caused by code."
"Dynatrace helps us to improve overall performance and allows us to detect the root cause of an outbreak on our systems."
"It gives complete stats of the user and what they are doing."
"The solution can be deployed quickly on-prem. Once it's deployed, you can use discovery and review the process and service on this application."
"We’re monitoring our SQL databases, we’re monitoring our microservices infrastructure, we’re monitoring our front-end we’re monitoring our mobile apps. It has increased our productivity, we’ve been able to optimize all of our applications."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"AWS Auto Scaling's documentation could be better."
"The setup can be a bit complex in some situations."
"Flexibility in configuring the workload is missing in AWS Auto Scaling."
"The product could add more features for managing instances."
"The tool's stability could be improved."
"We can have more auto scaling algorithms implemented in AWS Auto Scaling."
"The only area of improvement is the speed at which servers are launched. When cleaning up to six servers at a time, it can take up to 15 to 20 minutes to launch new servers."
"Its price, for sure, should be improved. Its price is quite high. Other than the price, there are always improvements to be made as technologies change. When we move into cloud-based technologies, Dynatrace will also have to adapt so that they can monitor those as well. It should have the adaptability to quickly transform to monitor those new technologies."
"I'd really like to see more dashboarding abilities. The ability to do workflows within dashboards, being able to start at a high level and click into it with custom dashboards. I think most of the time, we are creating our own custom dashboards, and I'd just like to see more ability with that."
"The integration with PagerDuty is currently broken on mobile."
"We need more AI in the product to avoid manual analysis."
"Make sure older frameworks, like PHP 5.3, are supported."
"We're not quite there yet, but the thing I would like to see is to really have that view of how issues relate to the business. Often enough, the tools that IT have for IT stop at the IT level. They cannot go into the business level part. They can't understand, because they don't have the information that the business needs to provide them with - for example how much an hour of downtime costs the business. For us, in IT, it's an hour of downtime, but it equates to money and equates to hours lost and equates to a lot of things, and often enough we don't have that information. This is where I would like to see us going."
"The installation process had quite a few moving parts, so it was a little tricky getting everything to work in first go."
"Its needs to focus more on open source areas, like Apache umbrella products and availability motioning areas."
