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 logging has transformed infrastructure monitoring and supports proactive recovery
The best features that rsyslog server offers include the ability to filter, tag, and rewrite logs, with logs stored in databases and files, then forwarded to various destinations such as SIEM or files as needed. Of course, the client sends the logs. Out of those features, I find myself relying most heavily on the logging capabilities it pulls from everything that is connected to Unix or Linux boxes, allowing me to see any particular issues or errors that may be occurring. The logs are stored in files or databases and they can be forwarded to me, even emailed directly. rsyslog server has positively impacted my organization, particularly with disaster recovery logging, where alerts for failures allow me to see failover events and any replication issues, especially within managed healthcare environments. It can indeed be used for HIPAA, pulling data from the entire infrastructure including Unix and Linux servers, network devices, firewalls, and storage arrays. Regarding how rsyslog server has improved efficiency and compliance, it provides insight into what's happening within the infrastructure as a high-performance systems log daemon receiving logs from the entirety of the network through UDP and TCP, writing to files, databases, or SIEM systems. It's user-friendly for Unix and Linux admins or engineers because it's been familiar for so long, and it certainly is not outdated.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Dynatrace saves both time and money."
"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."
"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."
"These features make my day-to-day work easier and more efficient because whenever I find any failure or boot problems in a client machine, I can easily identify the issue."
"The best feature rsyslog server offers is syslog recording, serving as the main and most important feature by recording syslogs and receiving them from TCP or UDP, other UDP servers, and forwarding those logs to even other servers, allowing for daily syslog handling in any direction, TCP, UDP, local, or remote."
"Rsyslog server's AI capabilities depict it as a data pipeline feeding AI systems, working hand in hand with AI for anomaly detection, ops automation, and log analysis through the collected syslog data."
"The easy configuration and quick monitoring of rsyslog server help me in my day-to-day work as it saves my time and makes my troubleshooting easier."
"The impact of rsyslog server on my organization has been positive, making processes easier, faster, and more reliable, as before its integration with the firewall, we lacked insight into policies governing incoming and outgoing traffic."
 

Cons

"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."
"One thing I would improve in Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) is definitely the licensing model, as it is expensive."
"Additionally, Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) continues to force customers to pay more at renewal."
"I have not seen a return on investment; it is just about functionality for me."
"Currently, I use rsyslog server, but I think some features could be improved by going through other SIEM tools or IBM tools."
