Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."I like the auto email alerting feature the most, as it is set up based on the application error or condition."
"One of the key things with Dynatrace is that they are very open to influence on product development side. So, we've influenced them fairly heavily on development and capabilities for Citrix and DC RUM. They've given us integration and support components around some odd technologies that we've got, and they have always been very open and accommodating to going after and developing capabilities around the stuff that we are looking for."
"Smartscape is a wonderful feature. I'm really loving it because there's no need for you to go deep into an analysis and go in to see where we are going wrong. You go to Smartscape, pass all the connections, and it will tell you the root cause."
"The tool allows us to see if it is an infrastructural related issue and see what is affected right away."
"The User experience monitor is a real added value."
"Overall, it has provided improved stability to our system both within prod and non-prod environments."
"Dynatrace's new AI stuff really out shines its competitors. "
"Developers love the tool, because it is easy to use. They can immediately see how their code behaves."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward since we were getting enough support from Honeycomb.io's team."
"We would like to see more dashboarding capabilities and the ability to export custom reports."
"Monitoring asynchronous code requires manual instrumentation (most of the time)."
"In the new Dynatrace solution, support for legacy applications is still not there. "
"We would like to see more external tool integration, which is critical for us."
"Some of the analytics that you get in, e.g., a waterfall analysis of a web page could be clearer. A lot of that is not directly attributable to Dynatrace. Sometimes a vendor will implement a tag or JavaScript plugin that's named something entirely different than what it does. This makes it difficult to track that from the waterfall list, figure out where exactly that component is, and dig more into what it's doing. Dynatrace could probably improve a bit on that waterfall layout to make it clearer as to what exactly is there. It does a wonderful job of telling you what loads and when, but it could be improved in terms of telling me what exactly it is loading."
"Beginner video tutorials would really help."
"The configuration of this solution is quite complex."
"Mainly navigation needs improvement. It is easier to follow a flow. Following the flow of the admin now is not easy."
"The process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team."
