Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Google says is that you have a number of things on which you should measure your performance. One is if there's an error or not. Dynatrace tells you whether is an error or not. Second is saturation, whether something is getting saturated. You should be aware of what is getting saturated. Dynatrace even tells you that. The third is if there is a latency. Network latency is also told to me by Dynatrace.""They have a feature that allows you to monitor the user, and we are able to create a VIP customer.""Synthetic Web Monitoring allows us to automatically react to any issues regarding site reliability.""Whether it is the server, database, network, or application, Dynatrace provides a consistent unambiguous view of performance.""​We have drastically reduced the delay taken by the diagnostic phase. As we identify the root cause very rapidly, we can now focus on the solution and communication.""We can report and monitor on specific use cases which could not be monitored with SAP or other tooling.""The Transaction Flow diagram and the class and meta level information, those are really key selling points in the automation for AppMon. Also, the meta level instrumentation and the dashboards that most of the people use in our organization.""Great tool for deep diving into performance data and tracking issues through all the connected systems to better diagnose and pinpoint the real issues."

"User session details""Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments.""The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time.""It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange.""The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations.""Sometimes when we face issues with the new technologies or very old technologies where we cannot enhance the service, they move to work with us directly and start doing some development on this area which is very good for us.""The ability to see what the end user response is, so I can get a better understanding of what the end user is seeing when they connect to the Citrix servers.""The product is simple to use."

Cons
"I would like to see an App store for plugins and extensions.""I think Dynatrace needs improvements with respect to reporting; not just performance, but the business-level reports.""With Linux or Windows, it automatically takes care of everything, so there's no need for you to do any manual config changes. But when it comes to AIX - because I implemented it two weeks back - you have to go back to kind of an AppMon approach, where you instrument agents for .NET applications. So if Dynatrace could make those changes and make it automated, that would be one of the biggest action items.""The thing that is preventing us from moving forward with Dynatrace right now is that we can't tag our customer traffic with a customizable tag. All of our students have a unique identifier and in AppMon we tag that and we can search by it very easily and it's very useful. But in Dynatrace, you can't yet customize and find people like that, so that's really preventing us. I heard that it's being worked on but I'm not sure when it's coming out.""We have had to resolve a lot of things and had a lot of issues with the tool.​""We had one issue when we tried to enter one agent and it just does not work. We got to work with the highest level of support, but it took a while to get there.""As the product is evolving quickly and product features are added on a monthly basis, a more transparent roadmap would be more than welcome.""The dashboard tool needs to be improved. We need more options, because the look and feel is too old-fashioned."

More Dynatrace Cons →

"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful.""Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities.""In terms of sales or market perspective, they must invest in Latin America with professionals with a more marked presence.""In terms of areas for improvement in eG Enterprise, we are now moving most of our services to the OpenShift platform, and we need a way to monitor even containerized services or any service deployed on OpenShift, but that feature is still not available in eG Enterprise, so it's not good enough for us.""I can understand why they designed the user interface (UI) the way they did, but sometimes in the management of the eG Manager, it can be a bit clunky.""The integration must be improved.""Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap.""Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • More Dynatrace Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "You may get some monitoring products with certain licensing you may own. Some of these can take ages to configure and setup, along with needing a license to drive the software."
  • "If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
  • "It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
  • "They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
  • "It is not expensive."
  • "They gave us a good price, when they were found out we were looking at other products because their price was very high. We were looking at another solution, then we came back to them was because they brought the price down. We selected them for three years."
  • "We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
  • "There are two licensing options: Perpetual and SaaS-based. The main offering, in terms of what eG prefers to offer, is the subscription-based rather than the Perpetual License. The price could be cheaper."

    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.

    Barry P., a managing performance engineer at Medica Health Plans, writes, "With Dynatrace, we have synthetic checks and real-user monitoring of all of our websites, places where members and providers can interact with us over the web. We monitor the response times of those with Dynatrace, and it's all integrated into one place."

    A consultant at a tech service company notes, "A feature that's one of the highlights of Dynatrace is the AI. The second most valuable feature is OneAgent. Between infrastructures, applications, operating systems, you can deploy with just a single agent and can practically install and forget about it."

    Reviews from Real Users

    “The product makes data collection easy. It's simple to set up. The algorithm is the most valuable aspect of the solution. In a few minutes after the installations, we can get insights from my technical environment. After a few minutes, I can get some valuable insights to make decisions.” - Anderson L., LatAm Presales Analyst at CLM

    “Some of the best features of eG are, in terms of APM, they have complete modules between application performance monitoring, server monitoring, and even storage and network-based monitoring. The UI is also quite good. They have some standard AI-based capabilities, even though it's not quite as advanced when compared to Dynatrace. eG has some good, basic APM capabilities.” - A PeerSpot user who is a Consultant at a tech services company
