We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Dynatrace based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in AIOps."We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"It is easy to implement."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"We have identified some critical issues, which are not available or recreatable in the Dev or QA environment."
"The NeoLoad plugin is awesome, and it gets results from load tests correlated with test scenarios."
"We spend less time on troubleshooting issues since Dynatrace proactively informs us of an impending bottle neck."
"A very powerful solution for the end user."
"The user experience allows us to be able to gauge customer experience and understand the performance impact of our platform."
"It is our main SaaS monitoring and alerting solution, and it allows us to identify many problems that we would miss if we did not have a comprehensive monitoring solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution would be the level of visibility that you get. I haven't seen anything that gives us that level of visibility yet"
"Reduces troubleshooting time by finding problems before the system is launched."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"Include network monitoring in more detail for deep dive analytics of network components."
"The heavy client is not really user-friendly and the concepts (while powerful) are unintuitive."
"I do know that for the size of our organization, we're talking thousands of agents and hundreds of applications, it does get to the point where the servers themselves that house Dynatrace are at a point where, in some cases, they are just too big for one machine, since you have to have an entire application ecosystem all funnel into a single system."
"Ability to better identify SDQ script errors would be helpful."
"One thing we'd like to see is mobile native replay. They don't have a timeline on it yet, but that's one of the key things we're looking at, to get rid of one of our incumbent products that does replay."
"I would like to see income monitoring for the servers and infrastructure monitoring."
"The other feature that Dynatrace should have is - from what I see in Dynatrace in our PoC - when you auto-upgrade the agents, the JVM or the application has to be restarted. But if you have something like an "auto-attach" feature, to attach the agent for the running process, it would not require a JVM restart. That would be nicer. That is a killer point."
"The one thing people really liked that we can do in AppMon is executive dashboards and, until recently, you couldn't even create the business transactions you need for the data at the back-end of those dashboards. But if I had to ask for one thing it would be: In the new platform, give me the ability to do dashboarding in the way it's done in AppMon, and I think that would bridge a lot of the missing pieces. If I could do the same type of executive dashboards on the walls, they would be happy."
