AI-driven insights have reduced downtime and improved cross-team collaboration

We encountered some challenges while using Dynatrace. Although the initial setup was smooth, fine-tuning alert thresholds and custom metrics took some time. Another challenge was that Dynatrace charges based on host units, so we had to carefully plan our agent deployments. The licensing model is expensive. Additionally, the complexity of setup is an issue. While OneAgent and auto-discover services are powerful, the setup is more complex compared to other tools such as Prometheus and Grafana. These integrations are simple and basic, but Dynatrace setup requires more complexity based on the environment. For new users wanting to use Dynatrace, it is difficult. However, the AI-related solutions and metrics took us to the next level for identifying and fixing things. Dynatrace requires an agent for operation. OneAgent is powerful, but it is also resource-heavy. On lightweight nodes or older systems, the agent can slightly impact performance. If Dynatrace could implement a lightweight agent behavior, we could make things faster. Additionally, if Dynatrace could add a long-term retention policy so that we could store more data and find fine-grained details, that would help us. While Dynatrace managed edition supports on-premises deployment, the SaaS version depends on cloud connectivity. For highly regulated or air-gapped environments, setup and updates can be challenging. Although the initial setup is smooth, if someone wants to fine-tune it and fully understand the tool end-to-end, it could be tricky.

Helpful dashboard, and the ElasticSearch feature helps to identify problematic components

Savision continuously develops new modules to allow further integration, so the only item would continue with this effort to allow more-and-more systems to integrate into this platform. Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is flexible enough to be customized based on customer requirements."

"The Event Management is outstanding; still is the most interesting part of the product."

"Helix Innovation Studio is a very good feature. It allows us to develop our own enterprise applications and make them available for the customers."

"The event management tool builds correlation logic and protection algorithms into a field of events that is valuable when a data center goes down."

"TSOM's ability to consolidate alerts into a single location and provide filtering of alerts is great."

"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."

"The event management part of TrueSight Operations Management, in my experience, is probably the best in the market. You have endless flexibility. You can build your own rules, you have the MRL language, and you can implement any kind of logic on the alerts. It may be correlation, abstraction, or executing something as a result of the alerts. You have almost the whole range of options available for event management using the available customization."

"The tailoring of the knowledge modules has been particularly useful as I can streamline the agents to only report on critical events."

More BMC TrueSight pros

"We can go back to when a specific user had an issue and trace the entire transaction from the client to the database."

"The NeoLoad plugin is awesome, and it gets results from load tests correlated with test scenarios."

"You can do deep dive analysis and find root cause quickly."

"The comprehensive application topology visualization in Dynatrace, called Smartscape, has benefited my understanding of system dependencies, and since we are using Dynatrace primarily for observability, we can get top-to-bottom visibility, from infrastructure to network to application front end."

"Since Appmon has been leveraged, we are now down to just hours (sometimes minutes) in resolution times."

"This tool helps us gather information from all hosts and services, then cross reference the information."

"Dynatrace has allowed us to pinpoint quickly any pain points our clients experience with our applications and respond accordingly."

"We obtained a better insight into our environment and consolidated a lot of our old apps into one app."

More Dynatrace pros

"This helps to centralize multiple monitoring solutions and streamline integration into ITSM."

Cons

"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."

"The dashboards are not good. We have a limited dashboard, and if we want better dashboards, we need to use other solutions like Grafana because the TrueSight dashboards are not good."

"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."

"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."

"The product must provide more AI capabilities."

"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."

"BMC's online documentation is often incorrect or incomplete."

"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."

More BMC TrueSight cons

"The thing that is preventing us from moving forward with Dynatrace right now is that we can't tag our customer traffic with a customizable tag. All of our students have a unique identifier and in AppMon we tag that and we can search by it very easily and it's very useful. But in Dynatrace, you can't yet customize and find people like that, so that's really preventing us. I heard that it's being worked on but I'm not sure when it's coming out."

"There are lots of features to share information, but we need to learn to leverage that, both on the web browser and on the mobile app."

"There continues to be some opportunity to expose the infrastructure from a broader reporting standpoint. Overall, the opportunity is in the reporting capability and the ability to more flexibly expose or pivot the data for deeper analysis. Oftentimes, the solution is good at looking narrowly at information, but when you want to broaden that perspective, that's where the challenges come in. At this point, it requires the export of data to external systems to do this."

"Enterprise application monitoring for synthetic, as is, only captures http/https transactions."

"I would like to know if classes and methods selected in "Method Sensor Rules" were changed in the applications, and not depend on the developers to warn us."

"Custom reporting capabilities should be extended, because it now has basic charting capabilities."

"The web-based UI needs to be improved."

"The solution's user interface could be improved."

More Dynatrace cons

"Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC TrueSight Operations Management is not on the cheaper side, but its pricing is on a case by case basis. Its licensing model is simple and based on the number of devices."

"The cost depends on the usage."

"It is a relatively inexpensive solution."

"We did a five-year, multimillion dollar deal."

"There is a big upfront cost when you buy the license, then there is annual maintenance. We look at, if I bought a license and paid for maintenance for five years, then average it out, what would be my monthly cost. We have had some of the competing tools come in around four dollars. This is coming in as a premium, which is why I don't have it deployed as I would like it. Therefore, we're in negotiations right now. If I can get it down to the four dollar range, I will triple my deployment in a year and a half."

"Use conservative figures. In terms of hardware, monitored servers and also effort. The product is not cheap. But as with other products, you get what you pay for."

"We're end-of-lifeing it now. Overall, the licensing costs of BMC are a challenge for us in that they're hard costs, whereas open-source monitoring has soft costs, where it's harder to line-item."

"Pricing is all volume-driven. I think we were paying between $80 and $85 per license. That's per unit, for a perpetual license. You pay it one time and then, every year, you pay 20 percent of that for annual maintenance and support. But now that we've grown, we've purchased tens of thousands of licenses and the cost per license has gone down to something like less than $30..."

More BMC TrueSight pricing and cost advice

"Pricing can be high, especially for Portuguese standards. But as one says, you get what you pay for."

"There is a license issue where if we increase the memory we have to up the licenses. I was unaware of that going in. I thought it was scalable without all the paperwork behind the scenes. "

"We asked for a three-year license, and the price was quite good."

"The setup costs for Dynatrace are low, however licensing costs are high."

"Its licensing is complicated or not transparent."

"Setup cost is very low considering that it is an almost totally, automatic process."

"Pricing is based on the number of servers monitored, so for big applications, it is a bit expensive."

"If there are no corporate requirements to run Dynatrace Managed (operating it yourself), I would definitely go for the size option. For small and medium-sized companies, the size option is probably the cheapest one. You don't need to look into operating it. You don't need to run hardware. It is pay as you go."
