Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The OneAgent technology does a brilliant job of simplifying what was earlier one of the pain points in enterprise monitoring.""Finally, we have 100% visibility on website performance, including third-party sources.""Dynatrace has helped us reduce outage times and severity of impact.""The most valuable things that we have seen are the user experience and capturing what the users are doing inside the browser.""One aspect of development is the concept of continuous improvements. There are key screens in our applications. We get identification, through Dynatrace on its own, that these are our top ten slow preforming screens.""You can see every step a transaction goes through, which servers it hits, and what technology it uses.""It helps us get to the resolution quicker, and potentially the root cause, and at least understand what is happening for future identification.""We are able to see globally our end user response time tracing down to the user ID."

"The product makes it very easy to reproduce issues.""I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."

More Instabug Pros →

Cons
"The pricing of the product could be improved.""It definitely needs HA, because we have so many applications that are dependent on AppMon that it has been deemed critical. Any downtime, it just affects so many users. So that's one of our key asks for the future.""It often produces "false alarms" and cannot identify failure patterns over days/weeks that do not indicate concern.""We found it was quite challenging in terms of the learning curve.""You have got cloning at one level, but it would be nice to have cloning at deeper levels. Or, as you are doing the cloning, it would be nice if you could select different options. Then, you are not having to sit there and build dashboards, and spending a lot of time in the cloning area.""​Definitely something to be improved is that OneAgent runs as a route, and not all applications want to run as route. Part of the problem is different technology companies will have various rules, regulations, and policies around what can run as a route.""The web version of the client interface needs more features that are in the Java-based thick client.""​We do not have any web monitoring with Dynatrace."

More Dynatrace Cons →

"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.""The end users were not able to report bugs."

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."

    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.

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."
