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."

"It has AI capabilities for anomaly detection. Also, they are a fully automated solution, so it's easy to use when it comes to deployment."

"We also got know many internal code bugs which could have caused memory leaks or other issues which we were not able to catch during that development phase."

"Scalability is outstanding. It won't tax our environment at all as it will scale sideways."

"We used siloed monitoring tools but we couldn't find most of the features that Dynatrace offers, which is why these guys are standing first in the market, number one in the market."

"Mean time to root cause analysis decreased drastically."

"The user experience allows us to be able to gauge customer experience and understand the performance impact of our platform."

"This solution has helped us to unearth quite a few issues that were present for a while, and it has helped us improve the performance of many of our applications."

"Dynatrace provide us the in-depth details to know what is wrong in the application and what are performance issues, then really quickly we are able to debug any performance issues or any other performance-related issues."

Cons

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

"Configuration could be simpler."

"Provide much better alignment between AppMon and Dynatrace."

"I hope going forward it can provide more functionalities for application profiling."

"It could be more affordable and therefore, more widely used by including more features like DEM as part of licensing cost rather than an additional expense."

"They're doing vulnerability assessments of the application stack by using OneAgent. It's a never-ending story if you are trying to be sure your application is also secure."

"The service should be improved such that it is more useful to its clients."

"They need better infrastructure monitoring. New Relic is beating them for infrastructure monitoring."

"It requires manual intervention to uninstall the cloud agent from servers you want it removed from."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It is quite costly. Dynatrace was the most expensive, compared to the other products we looked at. But it was also a lot better. If you want value for your money, Dynatrace is the way to go."

"We found an issue within the first week of ownership that has been costing us more than the entire license cost."

"Decodes on less used/popular protocols are available, but they should be included. Additional investment should not be required."

"Its license is a bit expensive. We renew it yearly."

"The licensing model is confusing in solutioning clients for the number of hosts needed to deploy."

"Getting the first agents installed, getting information, and coverage in a initial set of systems can be done in hours and with a low cost entry point."

"It is quite expensive for startups."

"I think the pricing is at a fair value for what it is."
