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

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

"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."

"Besides being an Application Performance management platform, Dynatrace has many important features that are easy to use, which gives us more time to focus on business."

".NET core and Spring code level analysis helps with root cause analysis."

"Dynatrace has given us one simple dashboard to monitor all of our servers and web applications."

"The stuff that's coming with the new pieces around the Dynatrace Managed SaaS implementation. The ease of implementation there is significant. We've spent a lot of time with AppMon and DC RUM - that's a lot of time to set up, configure. With Managed solution, you just drop it in and everything pretty much auto-instruments."

"Once you see Dynatrace in action, it really has some shining elements that the competitors are missing."

"Great tool for deep diving into performance data and tracking issues through all the connected systems to better diagnose and pinpoint the real issues."

"We like the on-premises platform and the horizontal scalability."

"We monitor end-to-end availability of the application and deep dive PurePath analysis of real user visits."

Cons

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

"I think Dynatrace needs improvements with respect to reporting; not just performance, but the business-level reports."

"The flexibility when it comes to integrating with other tools is very low."

"Training is required for all of the people who will be using it, and this should not be overlooked. I would even recommend nominating an SME in each of the three areas covered: user behaviour analysis, development, and infrastructure/operations support."

"One thing that I would like to see is for companies like us - large AppMon customers that have a lot of presence in AppMon, a lot of manually configured things and customizations - would be something that would help us be able to make that journey more easily, the transition from to AppMon to Dynatrace."

"This solution needs more powerful database monitoring capabilities."

"The reason I don't rate it higher is that the learning curve on the tool is, you have to have some experience with it to be able to figure out where to find things and the best way to get to things."

"In the new Dynatrace solution, support for legacy applications is still not there. "

"They could spend more time and effort in creating brand awareness."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Everything is great, but the licensing could always be cheaper. With the every growing tool set of Ops teams, we find it harder to budget for tooling while ensuring we still have the proper insight into our applications."

"It's understandable to do a smaller scale initial evaluation. However, as you identify the product value, don't hesitant in your scope and scale to maximize the initial investment and your opportunity to do a bulk investment of the product."

"I would recommend doing a PoC."

"The pricing and licensing are very expensive."

"There was also some complexity in the adoption rate of it because of how costly the licensing is."

"Consider volume because that is where you will get the most benefit. Doing a point solution is not cost-effective."

"The price range is quite high."

"The product is pricey, but it is feature-rich, which is why we probably haven't looked away from it."
