Anand_Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a comprehensive view by integrating with other monitoring systems
There may be an issue since there are many tools like Splunk involved in network monitoring. From an IP perspective, Dynatrace is performing well. If they want to develop in network monitoring, they can, as it's part of their product line. It's not rocketry, so they can accomplish it. If I, as an SI, look at it from an enterprise perspective, considering the cost from the client, I prefer not to go with multiple systems, as they don't provide a complete 360-degree view. They need to improve on claims about being an enterprise system. The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.
Aisha Mazher - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable solution that provides visibility into user journeys and enables the filing of RCA reports
The initial setup was really easy. There were some calls that we had to integrate into our code. Instabug was easy to integrate with our app. If we needed special logs for some calls to check the response rate of some end-to-end procedures, we could also integrate them. There were some APIs we could use for end-to-end integration. The product was deployed on Bitbucket. The beta app was deployed in our local environment. The deployment process was not time-consuming. The production phase took a day. It was just a one-time effort. For the beta app, we had to do it multiple times, but it was easy to deploy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Adds value to application owners, DB owners, and provides visibility on how end users utilize browsers and where they are originate from."
"Most importantly the back-end components. Most of the back-end components that the application connects to; nobody knows how our application interacts with, for example, the DataPower Gateway. But AppMon really provides that information for us. So finding the gaps is the key here."
"The full stack - Everything from the browser, all the way back to the database, and being able to see everything, and really narrow in very quickly on what is the root cause."
"Helps us to shorten down the time for triaging an issue."
"The dashboards are a really cool feature when I get to talking to clients. I ask them, "Why Dynatrace?" Because I need to push the tools that I have in my application. Then, they explain the monitoring of Dynatrace, saying the rate of the updates and features. They want to go with Dynatrace."
"It has enabled us to have a deeper insight into our application availability and performance."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of application performance."
"The PurePaths are valuable because that's where somebody who is a non-developer can figure out where the problem is and send appropriate PurePaths, clean charts, or even the link to the developer. The developer can then look at it and figure out exactly where the problem is, this is the piece of code that took the longest time, and then resolve it."
"The product makes it very easy to reproduce issues."
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"It requires manual intervention to uninstall the cloud agent from servers you want it removed from."
"There were a number of marketing promises that were made, which we do not see it in the tool yet. ​"
"Our main problems have been that it has a high learning curve to it. I've used it for about three years now and I'm still learning it. There are some videos and there is some documentation out there, but it still requires you to delve into the tool to learn it. A little bit more comprehensive self-paced training would help."
"Some new features could be added to Dynatrace to make it better."
"They could also, develop an observability platform where you could have the ability to inject events, locks, and traces."
"I'd like to see native support, because we're launching native apps in multiple countries so we really want to have a really good feel for how those apps are going and how well they're performing, if there are issues."
"Because we are financial, there are certain things that we cannot put on the cloud. However, that is a given fact, not only for us. It is a given fact for any financial company because of PCI compliance. Because of PCI compliance, companies don't take the risk of putting data in the cloud."
"I would like to see income monitoring for the servers and infrastructure monitoring."
"The end users were not able to report bugs."
"It would be beneficial if the tool could be more precise in capturing steps, focusing only on the relevant ones. For example, there were some times when it caught some extra screenshots which were not included in the steps. Sometimes, it also happened that it got some extra steps that were not in there to reproduce the bug. We also called that screenshot and the steps there as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Time to value was surprisingly fast."
"Everything is great, but the licensing could always be cheaper. With the every growing tool set of Ops teams, we find it harder to budget for tooling while ensuring we still have the proper insight into our applications."
"Pricing can be high, especially for Portuguese standards. But as one says, you get what you pay for."
"The pricing is not bad, but it could be better."
"The product is really fast to implement and gives customers instant value. This is important, because it reduces costs on the implementation."
"This is an expensive solution, but it is also worth the money."
"The pricing is a bit on the higher end."
"They could improve their price ranges, as there is no option for startups or testing."
