Featured Reviews

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Of the entire stack, DC RUM and DT SaaS are definitely the most asked for in our offering catalog."
"PurePath is one of the best features."
"The most valuable features are end user visibility, Smartscape, and the entire visibility of our data center, including SQL queries."
"It provides a better understanding of what is going on."
"The most valuable feature is the 360-degree view for monitoring, infrastructure, and application worlds."
"PurePaths help us drill down to the root cause of problems and escape the war room."
"The benefits we receive using this tool increase productivity, which increase revenue."
"The installation and configuration were very straightforward and nice."
"The dashboard is a valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The solution's user interface could be improved."
"They need a capability similar to Tealeaf where you can actually view what the consumer is doing and record the sessions. That is the biggest missing element."
"Documentation could be improved. E.g., you don't know how to properly use Dynatrace because documentation is almost lacking behind the features being deployed."
"The container platform could include more value-added features."
"Better root cause detection and improve root cause categories. In some cases, the root cause points out only a clue of what has happened."
"It needs improvement with proprietary protocols for the DC RUM part."
"We are still struggling a bit with finding an answer quickly."
"From the Dynatrace SaaS platform, they talk about the APIs. The approach they take is, "We create the APIs, you use them however you want." I like it, that gives us flexibility. But at the same time, if your company does not have a huge number of APM specialists, or it does not have the time and resources available to spend on these kind of technology developments, it would be helpful if there were out-of-the-box solutions available from the platform. I would certainly consider that, because that would make us go to market much faster, rather than redeveloping our own solutions based on those APIs."
"The solution is pricy and has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is quite expensive for startups."
"The solution has saved us money through the consolidation of tools. With a hybrid landscape, we had multiple tools. When we consolidated, we removed four or five other monitoring tools with one. For the last ROI calculation that I did, Dynatrace was saving us up to $500,000 per year."
"The licensing for Dynatrace is high. If you want to go for monitoring solutions, then why Dynatrace? If you have a particular budget, you can go for many other monitoring tools - apart from Dynatrace - and they can help you more and give more data than Dynatrace can. It's not worth the money that you spend for Dynatrace."
"Financially Dynatrace was a lot more expensive than AppDynamics."
"We found an issue within the first week of ownership that has been costing us more than the entire license cost."
"I feel the price is good for what the product does."
"The limitations I see are more to do - and maybe it's because of the nature of the job I have - but they have to do with pricing. It's a little bit pricey. It's a very good tool. It's worth the price, to a certain degree. But it's hard to justify when it's that costly."
"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was a pretty straightforward process. We had no hiccups."
