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."

"Dynatrace is capable of following all user actions across all monitored infrastructure, even to systems not monitored, but interconnected."

"Dynatrace Managed has given us an in-depth, comprehensive view of every single layer of the entire application stack in a single, easy-to-use point of access."

"Dynatrace AppMon has allowed a deep dive review of performance problems in near real-time for our primary external website and related web apps and web services."

"We used to rely on multiple operations tools to monitor and obtain bits and pieces. Now, we have it all in a single pane of glass."

"In terms of one tool, right now I’m seeing Dynatrace can do a lot of things: the entire DevOps, infrastructure, application performance monitoring, all that can be done using just one tool."

"Once we figured out there is a monitoring system that can show us code level details, nothing came closer."

"It is really comfortable and easy to use for application monitoring. We are able to see and go deep into the problem. We didn't have any issues with this product."

"Dynatrace helps us to improve overall performance and allows us to detect the root cause of an outbreak on our systems."

Cons

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

"sometimes it happens that we are not able to capture things. For example, if a person is logged in from India, from the city of Mumbai, and is using a Chrome browser, and his email ID is xyz@abc.com. But what happens is, Dynatrace just fetches two pieces of the information, not all of it. Sometimes it gets it all, sometimes it doesn't."

"Log analytics in the classic synthetic and RUM tools would be a great addition."

"We have not fully been able to get the full value out of the product. It is expensive compared to other things that we have had in the past."

"I would like to see the ability to pull more user-friendly reports."

"It needs container log monitoring."

"Custom reporting is still missing."

"Improvements in Synthetic monitoring would be great. Certain features of thick client, if available in the web interface, would also be a great improvement."

"The platform could improve its custom visualization options, as some executive dashboards feel restrictive compared to other tools."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"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."

"We purchased a subscription for one year and it is an expensive solution for a large enterprise like ours."

"We have a three-year contract. We have 30 licenses for the full stack and 3 licenses for the DEM unit."

"Licensing is a bit complicated for Dynatrace, and pricing is dependent on how much your organization invests."

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

"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. "

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