Improves our application at the code level because of its different performance metrics

They should provide all the information of the NetDiagnostics tool details on the Internet. Or, it will be good if they could upload the configuration and monitoring feature detail videos on YouTube . REST API should be supported from the UI. As of now, it is supported from the CLI . They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI. In next release, I would like to see the application level monitor supported in some way.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Application end-to-end monitoring: This is one of the good features available in the tool, as it includes error detection, capturing exception, method calling tree, transaction flow map, etc."

"Its end-to-end dashboard provides information on all the integration callouts happening on the server side."

"Smartscape is a wonderful feature. I'm really loving it because there's no need for you to go deep into an analysis and go in to see where we are going wrong. You go to Smartscape, pass all the connections, and it will tell you the root cause."

"The visibility that it provides is most valuable."

"It helps our organization identify potential problems by doing thorough analysis of systems which integrate with one another."

"The speed and problem resolution."

"The alert mechanism has reduced hours of manual work."

"We were quite happy with the easy installation process and how quickly we received a good overview over all of our web applications."

"It is a very good APM tool, with a lot of thorough scanning of services and applications, great monitoring features, and PurePath helps us to identify minor glitches in applications and services while collecting everything from user sessions."

"Comprehensive suite of solutions that can address all aspects of applications from dev to ops."

Cons

"They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI."

"Right now, we are struggling a bit with stability. We have outages, data loss, and have had to restart, but have not narrowed down exactly what the problem is yet."

"There's no download action for the reports, so if they could add something like that, it would add value for us. We cannot save data for more than seven to 10 days, so it would be better to add a feature for downloading. At least we could store the data and then we could compare for ourselves, where we are starting and where we are and where we are heading. I would have those metrics."

"Because we are financial, there are certain things that we cannot put on the cloud. However, that is a given fact, not only for us. It is a given fact for any financial company because of PCI compliance. Because of PCI compliance, companies don't take the risk of putting data in the cloud."

"Sometimes we have issues with the code on their side. We like to get it fixed."

"At times customer service could be really good, but most of the times I thought that this is a huge area where a lot of improvement could be made."

"We would like to see more external tool integration, which is critical for us."

"In the next release, I'd like to see more portables included regarding the screens."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I would recommend doing a PoC."

"The price of the solution is 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."

"Financially Dynatrace was a lot more expensive than AppDynamics."

"The pricing is a bit on the higher end."

"The solution has saved us money through the consolidation of tools. With a hybrid landscape, we had multiple tools. When we consolidated, we removed four or five other monitoring tools with one. For the last ROI calculation that I did, Dynatrace was saving us up to $500,000 per year."

"Its price is quite high. Although it is worth it, it would be better if its price is reduced. They base their prices around licensing. Their prices are based on agent licensing and consumption licensing. Both of these can be a bit cheaper, but if they are the best in the market, as I consider them to be, I assume that their prices will be higher. They are delivering the product for that price."

"Product pricing can seem a little over complex, however this is minor and does not detract from the benefits of the solution."
