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."

"Real user monitoring is one of the best things in solution. The possibility to analyze any particular user session is wonderful."

"Synthetic Web Monitoring allows us to automatically react to any issues regarding site reliability."

"Automatic root cause analysis and automatic performance baseline features remove the manual effort and time to do so."

"It has given visibility to how an end user utilizes and experiences our service offerings."

"One aspect of development is the concept of continuous improvements. There are key screens in our applications. We get identification, through Dynatrace on its own, that these are our top ten slow preforming screens."

"All of them which measures performance and availability; if you don't measure, you don't know, and by looking at the data patterns and trends, you can also find out abnormalities in the whole ecosystem, not just in the target application."

"Great for monitoring critical internal and public-facing applications."

"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."

"Dynatrace also has APIs, but they are unfriendly APIs. If they were friendly like Splunk or Sumo Logic had, we might integrate that same data on a single webpage, then start showing these internally."

"When you're making that transition from AppMon, which is very dashboard-oriented, over to Dynatrace, which is no dashboards, there needs to be something in between so that business buys in a little bit. I would transition my dashboards over so that we don't have to recreate them, because recreating them is very difficult in Dynatrace. It's really hard to say, "Oh, the dashboards that you had on the team that you were using, you're not going to get over here." Or, "You have to re-create them all over again." People are going to ask questions about cost, who is going to do that."

"We've installed it to help us with performance issues and we use it when there's a problem, but we find it difficult to get in to find out what's really wrong."

"I would like to know if classes and methods selected in "Method Sensor Rules" were changed in the applications, and not depend on the developers to warn us."

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

"There is still a certain amount of technical skills needed to be able to understand what you are seeing on it, and you also need a large amount of technical or infrastructure skills to understand how and where to install it."

"We are happy with the server monitoring, but we feel like the application monitoring should be improved."

"Make sure older frameworks, like PHP 5.3, are supported."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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. Paying that much and not being able to get the full return on the product is a downgrade. "

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

"The solution is not cheap."

"Price (of the product) is a major concern for all the clients I work with."

"This is an expensive solution, but it is also worth the money."

"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."

"Dynatrace is very good and it's provided a lot of information, it plays a positive role in making your application up to date in the market. If you want to monitor some applications only, it would be cheaper if you did cloud monitoring, but the price benefit depends on the use case."

"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace is excellent."
