Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The initial setup was fairly easy."
"Dynatrace makes it so much easier to proactively solve problems before they become big headaches, and easily pinpoint the root cause of an issue."
"The user interface is like a type of dashboard. You can use the tool as an end user into the tool interface, which is good."
"We also use it in our performance testing. We found an issue that way, and we would have put that change live without Dynatrace. Finding that problem in "live", that would have been three or four days of investigation, whereas we found the issue, fixed the issue, reran the tests, all same day."
"Dynatrace helped us to get a better understanding of how our services are communicating with each other, as well as better problem detection before something really breaks"
"The technical support has always been responsive."
"I would rate the technical support very well. They work with the inside their development teams to get us the best answer, as much as possible."
"Being able to drill down into the PurePaths to get to a solution is key for us."
"We can see which step in a transaction is causing latency, right down to the particular Java class"
"There are certain aspects of the configuration that could be simplified a bit."
"Most of the time, chat support is not good enough for answering queries."
"For AppMon, there is always room for improvement: charting, dashboarding, and user management."
"I would like to have something more along the lines of the old DC RUM, because we have lot of clients with old technologies, legacy technology, and we really want to integrate it with Dynatrace so that they can use just one single product. So, it needs better integration with legacy products."
"I would like to see internal synthetic tests in the next release, which is already on the roadmap."
"Dashboards and monitoring capabilities can be improved for monitoring applications in Azure. In Azure, it would be cool to be able to monitor network consumption as well as flow communication."
"Dashboarding and having different templates available for more business reporting, or even other metrics, would be useful."
"Data streaming and dashboard loading can be improved to reduce dashboard latency."
"It is not clear what are our long-term strategy should be to upgrade (Appmon vs Dynatrace)."
