DX NetOps is praised for its scalability, managing networks from 1,000 to 100,000 devices, suiting enterprise-level needs.
Sentiment score
7.4
Dynatrace efficiently manages large environments, easily scales horizontally and vertically, though some report minor scalability challenges with costs.
The product is very scalable, to the maximum.
If it's an enterprise, increasing the number of instances doesn’t pose problems.
 

Stability Issues

Users consistently rate DX NetOps high for stability, citing its smooth, reliable operation without bugs or crashes.
Sentiment score
7.7
Dynatrace is praised for robust stability, high availability, smooth updates, and minimal issues, with consistent improvements over time.
I rate the stability of the product as ten on a scale of one to ten, indicating that it is very stable.
Generally, all are stable at ninety-nine point nine nine percent, but if the underlying infrastructure is not deployed correctly, stability may be problematic.
There have been no stability issues with Dynatrace.
 

Room For Improvement

DX NetOps needs better support, enhanced usability, sophisticated features, automation, AI capabilities, and simplified programming and hardware requirements.
Dynatrace requires improvements in pricing, setup complexity, user interface, monitoring, AI accuracy, reporting, integrations, and support comprehensiveness.
DX NetOps is somewhat convoluted, and some of the programming constructs can be documented or driven through languages such as Python, Perl, and shell scripting, but they have their proprietary language, which may not be very user-friendly.
It would be useful to have more AI features.
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.
Dynatrace stands out when making comparisons with other tools.
 

Setup Cost

DX NetOps pricing offers cost-effective annual subscriptions with all features, competitive with IBM and Micro Focus, including support.
Dynatrace is valued for features and cloud integration but seen as pricey; users desire clearer, flexible pricing models.
I think the pricing is expensive.
The licensing cost of DX NetOps is expensive, not very affordable, and on the top of the price range in the market.
Dynatrace is known to be costly, which delayed its integration into our system.
If I would ask you to rate price from 1 to 10, where 1 is cheap and 10 is expensive, how many points would you give to it?
 

Valuable Features

DX NetOps offers superior network analysis, scalability, AI functionality, and ServiceNow integration, ensuring efficient monitoring across hybrid environments.
Dynatrace provides AI-driven monitoring with comprehensive performance insights, ease of deployment, intuitive UI, and seamless application integration.
The product features include automation through AI, allowing out-of-the-box analysis of performance data, building baseline trends, and enabling configuration of dynamic thresholds relative to collected data.
The best features I've seen so far with DX NetOps are that it can work with large scale systems, and it has a lot of functionalities and matrices.
The integration with Power BI for generating detailed reports is a standout feature.
Graduation features offered by Dynatrace provide a single view and can connect with many other monitoring systems.

Featured Reviews

Mark Tukh - PeerSpot reviewer
Leverages comprehensive network monitoring and AI-driven automation for enhanced performance analysis
There is a model for network traffic analysis in the NetOps product called NetOps Flow Analyzer. It provides all the necessary protocols and analysis. DX NetOps supports network monitoring across hybrid environments, though I hope it works out of the box. The product features include automation through AI, allowing out-of-the-box analysis of performance data, building baseline trends, and enabling configuration of dynamic thresholds relative to collected data.
Anand_Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
