Team Lead and General Manager at MOCOMSYS
Full-stack monitoring has improved root cause analysis but pricing and usability still need work
There are several disadvantages with Dynatrace (Private Offer Only). First, the development team prefers to have an X-View, but Dynatrace (Private Offer Only), DataDog, and New Relic did not provide an X-View of the transaction. Second, some DataDog users complained about Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) requiring more clicks to figure out problems. DataDog attempts to display major issues on one screen without forcing users to click more. Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) is more geared toward true engineers, forcing users to click more options or buttons. Third, pricing is a significant issue, particularly in Korea. When I was operating as a distributor, Korea did not have a country manager or country director for an extended period. Although there was an engineer and an account executive, there was no country manager equivalent to DataDog or New Relic. When DataDog provided strategic pricing, Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) was unable to offer comparable options. Additionally, Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) continues to force customers to pay more at renewal. While New Relic and DataDog also have price increases during renewal, they typically waive these increases. However, Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) consistently requests customers to accept the uplifting. This pricing approach is the major reason why we lost customers in Korea.
Centralized security has protected hybrid workloads and provides deep visibility into cloud traffic
Cloud-native automation and IaC: Terraform support, auto-scaling templates, and API maturity lag behind Palo Alto VM-Series and FortiGate-VM. Dynamically scaling in public cloud requires more manual effort. Third-party integrations and ecosystem: fewer native connectors with SIEM/SOAR platforms, CSPM, and third-party tools compared to market leaders. Documentation and training material: technical documentation and community resources (forums, tutorials, KB) are more limited, which lengthens the learning curve for new teams. SASE/SSE capabilities: the integrated SASE/ZTNA offering is less mature compared to the convergence already provided by Fortinet or Palo Alto. Centralized multi-instance management: managing large fleets of virtual appliances could be smoother; centralized management (HSM) works, but some users would like more granularity and automation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dynatrace saves both time and money."
"Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) has aided in optimizing application performance across our environments, significantly improving the fact that we have given access to the DevOps team to optimize code, review where errors are, and understand the experience that users are having when accessing our mobile application, which has helped the team optimize how the application loads, rectify errors, and subsequently deliver a seamless experience for our customers."
"Scalability is genuinely exceptional, as a customer who initially used only 20 or 30 hosts eventually expanded to more than 500 hosts, and the expansion was easier than with other local solutions or with DataDog and New Relic."
"Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) is the greatest of all time APM tool; everything you can get is very easy to understand, and it has its own customer care support where I can reach out and get tutorials."
"Hillstone CloudEdge Virtual Firewall provides advanced security for cloud and virtualized environments through next-generation firewall (NGFW) capabilities, including application visibility and control, intrusion prevention (IPS), antivirus protection, VPN services, threat intelligence, and advanced attack defense mechanisms."
"The most valuable aspect is the combination of traditional firewall functionality with cloud deployment flexibility."
"CloudEdge has helped us apply consistent security controls to our AWS workloads with our on-premises workloads."
"On balance, Hillstone CloudEdge is a solid and highly competitive solution within the virtual NGFW firewall segment."
 

Cons

"Additionally, Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) continues to force customers to pay more at renewal."
"One thing I would improve in Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) is definitely the licensing model, as it is expensive."
"I could identify a disadvantage of Dynatrace regarding costing, as it is very expensive."
"Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) is a little costlier compared to New Relic and AppDynamics. It might want to consider reducing its cost, pricing model, or come up with different pricing models to capture untapped markets globally."
"Cloud-native automation and IaC: Terraform support, auto-scaling templates, and API maturity lag behind Palo Alto VM-Series and FortiGate-VM."
"Additional automation resources for AWS would also be helpful."
"The setup cost is more expensive with similar features."
