Protection improves through superior global visibility and robust cloud integration

CrowdStrike Observability is especially useful when using a multi-cloud environment. Although it is expensive, the protection level it provides justifies the price. For users on Google Cloud, I prefer using Google's GTI technology. Overall, I would rate CrowdStrike Observability as nine out of ten. I rate the overall solution as nine.

Provides a comprehensive view by integrating with other monitoring systems

There may be an issue since there are many tools like Splunk involved in network monitoring. From an IP perspective, Dynatrace is performing well. If they want to develop in network monitoring, they can, as it's part of their product line. It's not rocketry, so they can accomplish it. If I, as an SI, look at it from an enterprise perspective, considering the cost from the client, I prefer not to go with multiple systems, as they don't provide a complete 360-degree view. They need to improve on claims about being an enterprise system. The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The intelligence database provided by CrowdStrike is very impressive."

"The log aggregation and correlation of data are notable features that enhance our operations."

"The price is worth it."

"The intelligence database provided by CrowdStrike is very impressive."

"I find the most effective feature of CrowdStrike Observability to be its cloud vision and attack surface vision, which enhance network traffic analysis."

"In terms of AI, I love the base-lining Dynatrace provides us. It baselines the application over a seven-day period; we have it at the default of seven days. The artificial intelligence is so amazing because it can automatically track each transaction and their response times: how much CPU they use, how much memory, resources that they use. If there’s any deviation from that Dynatrace will tell me like right away. If there’s a deployment and the deployment has increased response time or is taking up CPU or has caused a memory leak, I can say, “Hey guys, you need to look at this, it’s this function on this page in this microservice, in this docker container. You need to go here, you need to fix it, it’s not going live.” It has just increased our productivity off the charts."

"UEM (RUM): User Experience Management (real user monitoring) puts you in "user's seat" and gives you insight into how they experience the application. Often, this gives a totally different view than just watching the backend calls."

"The solution is amazing, it does well when you need to use it."

"This tool enables us to make intelligent, fact-based decisions faster."

"Our main use is to monitor our applications for any issues that might arise and use the data to assure that our performance trending is headed in the right direction."

"We have used PurePath data (response times) to improve and tune application performance."

"The alerting mechanism where you get millions of dependencies analyzed, in one alert or "problem" as Dynatrace calls it."

"Dynatrace has allowed us to pinpoint quickly any pain points our clients experience with our applications and respond accordingly."

Cons

"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."

"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial."

"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial. Currently, there is a default ninety-day backup period."

"The customer service is not satisfactory for me. The support is only available in English, and my users in LATAM regions such as Peru and Colombia require local language support, which is not currently provided."

"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."

"Enterprise Synthetic of DC RUM can be made more robust."

"It needs more dashboards like AppMon."

"I would like to see income monitoring for the servers and infrastructure monitoring."

"Alert triggers could be easier to setup and more granular."

"It needs a dashboard for cluster events in general, and for Kubernetes specifically."

"We had one issue when we tried to enter one agent and it just does not work. We got to work with the highest level of support, but it took a while to get there."

"It is necessary to improve the integration with the product, Oracle Siebel."

"Add support for Ruby."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"We found a tool that can be utilized by testing, DevOps, marketing, software engineering, and monitoring. Before, we always had everybody doing their own thing. Now, everybody's utilizing one tool, which is huge. That is a huge savings."

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

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

"Dynatrace is the most expensive APM that we sell, compared to competitors' products. The license pricing could be improved. My customers pay for licensing yearly."

"You get a really well-planned out monitoring suite for the money spent."

"The price could be improved."

"The cost is somewhat high."

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