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 price is worth it."

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

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

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

"It has more functionality, better additional components, and better management of problems. It also has a good AI."

"Capability to focus on root cause problems."

"Stability has been very nice, and Dynatrace runs on the Linux system."

"We leverage on Dynatrace technology to trace and identify issues in the test environment before launching to production."

"We can be more productive and agile. It allows us to be more accurate when we need to work with bugs."

"The product allows us to build preferred/customized business transactions to track complex transactions. UEM (User Experience Monitoring) agents track user experience on webRequests. The advantage is that Dynatrace correlates the measures on the devices with those on the backend servers, giving us an end-to-end view of the transaction, from the user's phone deep into the backend servers."

"A very powerful solution for the end user."

"Great tool for deep diving into performance data and tracking issues through all the connected systems to better diagnose and pinpoint the real issues."

Cons

"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."

"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."

"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."

"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 a new user of Dynatrace, the tool is not easy to understand, so this is an area for improvement. Before using it, you need to learn from an expert."

"Documentation could be improved. E.g., you don't know how to properly use Dynatrace because documentation is almost lacking behind the features being deployed."

"Its price, for sure, should be improved. Its price is quite high. Other than the price, there are always improvements to be made as technologies change. When we move into cloud-based technologies, Dynatrace will also have to adapt so that they can monitor those as well. It should have the adaptability to quickly transform to monitor those new technologies."

"We should be able to easily simplify both the charting and slicing-and-dicing of user metrics with cookies that contain customer/user information."

"When integrating this solution with any third party applications, there is an additional cost to pay. This can make the solution very costly to use."

"There is still a bit of redundancy in Dynatrace."

"The web version of the client interface needs more features that are in the Java-based thick client."

"Configuring nodes and agents should be more like plug and play."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Surprisingly, it is quite expensive. That is something that we could always see: Improved pricing and the overall construct on how do we use each license in regards to usage of the tool."

"Time to value was surprisingly fast."

"Its price is quite high. Although it is worth it, it would be better if its price is reduced. They base their prices around licensing. Their prices are based on agent licensing and consumption licensing. Both of these can be a bit cheaper, but if they are the best in the market, as I consider them to be, I assume that their prices will be higher. They are delivering the product for that price."

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

"The pricing and licensing are very expensive."

"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was a pretty straightforward process. We had no hiccups."

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

"The solution is not cheap."
