Security Engineer at CSOC
Automation has improved detection workflows and provides real-time visibility across all logs
Carasoft Services for Rapid 7 could be improved in terms of integration of Windows log sources. Rapid 7 SIEM has a feature whereby I can integrate Active Directory. However, when I want to integrate system logs, application logs, and everything from my event viewer, Rapid 7 does not have a customized feature for that. Most times, I have to leverage NXLog, which is not ideal. It would be better to have a ready-to-go plugin for it. Additionally, for InsightConnect, an orchestrator, sometimes when I am integrating with third-party ticketing solutions, SNMP might give me issues. Finally, the TLS feature of Rapid 7 is a bit unreliable.

Full-stack monitoring has improved root cause analysis but pricing and usability still need work
There are several disadvantages with Dynatrace (Private Offer Only). First, the development team prefers to have an X-View, but Dynatrace (Private Offer Only), DataDog, and New Relic did not provide an X-View of the transaction. Second, some DataDog users complained about Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) requiring more clicks to figure out problems. DataDog attempts to display major issues on one screen without forcing users to click more. Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) is more geared toward true engineers, forcing users to click more options or buttons. Third, pricing is a significant issue, particularly in Korea. When I was operating as a distributor, Korea did not have a country manager or country director for an extended period. Although there was an engineer and an account executive, there was no country manager equivalent to DataDog or New Relic. When DataDog provided strategic pricing, Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) was unable to offer comparable options. Additionally, Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) continues to force customers to pay more at renewal. While New Relic and DataDog also have price increases during renewal, they typically waive these increases. However, Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) consistently requests customers to accept the uplifting. This pricing approach is the major reason why we lost customers in Korea.

Pros

"Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) is the greatest of all time APM tool; everything you can get is very easy to understand, and it has its own customer care support where I can reach out and get tutorials."
"Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) has aided in optimizing application performance across our environments, significantly improving the fact that we have given access to the DevOps team to optimize code, review where errors are, and understand the experience that users are having when accessing our mobile application, which has helped the team optimize how the application loads, rectify errors, and subsequently deliver a seamless experience for our customers."

"One thing I would improve in Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) is definitely the licensing model, as it is expensive."
