Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is stable.""I like that it provides an overall view of our network. From the topology view to every event, we can view it. We can also see the interface utilization for future capacity planning. It fits our use case and environment.""It is straightforward to configure, and you can quickly gather data from your infrastructure.""It's good for root cause analysis for network problems and network link problems.""The AI is the best feature in this solution."

"Using that telemetry from Dynatrace, we are able to pinpoint what our performance issues are so we can tune the system.""We use it to monitor over a 1000 servers in AWS.""We can know exactly what happened in what time with PurePath.""It helps DevOps find all its problems easily and analyzes performance problems.""Scalability is great. My biggest concern when we first put it in was the resources that it would take up, network traffic that it might create. But it seems perfectly scalable to any environment. Even on some of our heaviest use servers, it doesn't seem to affect anything.""PurePaths. The ability to see the transaction flow of the web request. It's valuable because our developers, when we have an issue, they can drill down to see exactly where in the application, the call in the application; where the high response time is, or where something is wrong.""It has more functionality, better additional components, and better management of problems. It also has a good AI.""From the monitoring perspective, the ability to triage quickly is important, and the ability to alert and tell people where the problem is."

Cons
"One improvement that could make the product better is to streamline its modules into a more cohesive solution.""Lacks dashboards and better integration with other solutions.""Technical support could be more responsive.""It would be better if they had an NFA network analysis feature. We appreciate features like extended network security for bucket flows, but it would be better to have some IDs, IPS functionalities, DDoS, or something like that.""Technical support needs to be better. They need to be more knowledgeable and responsive."

More DX NetOps Cons →

"The solution's ability to assess the severity of anomalies based on the actual impact to users and business KPIs is great. In my opinion, it could be extended even more. I would like it to be more configurable for the end-user. It would be nice to have more business rules applicable to the severity. It's already very good as it is now. It is based on the impact on your front-end users. But it would be nice if we could configure it a bit more.""I would like to see the ability to pull more user-friendly reports.""Scalability-wise, on the data side, I'm really worried because they are giving only seven days data retention. They should plan something on that, to increase the data.""It requires manual intervention to uninstall the cloud agent from servers you want it removed from.""We would like to see more dashboarding capabilities and the ability to export custom reports.""I think they're working on even more integration from external third party input, but that is ongoing. So the faster it's there the better. Clock monitoring is one of these areas where improvements can be made.""PurePath exports was a great feature in AppMon, but it is sometimes missing in Dynatrace.""There are a couple gaps in the network reporting that we would like to see cleared up a bit."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "Pricing is based on the number of servers monitored, so for big applications, it is a bit expensive."
  • "Licensing is a bit complicated for Dynatrace, and pricing is dependent on how much your organization invests."
  • "We found an issue within the first week of ownership that has been costing us more than the entire license cost."
  • "Product pricing can seem a little over complex, however this is minor and does not detract from the benefits of the solution."
  • "Getting the first agents installed, getting information, and coverage in a initial set of systems can be done in hours and with a low cost entry point."
  • "Price (of the product) is a major concern for all the clients I work with."
  • "The licensing model is confusing in solutioning clients for the number of hosts needed to deploy."
  • "The product is superior to others, but it comes with a price tag that is often difficult to position back to clients."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Dynatrace is the only solution that provides answers to organizations based on deep insight into each user, transaction, and organization's environment.

We monitor the response times of those with Dynatrace, and it's all integrated into one place."
