They have a good reputation, and the support is commendable.
The technical support from Dynatrace is excellent.
Whenever we faced any issues, we could get timely resolution from their support.
The technical support is good; we have a separate portal for partners, and since we are paying for the service, they provide a response timeframe based on severity—critical issues are addressed within four hours, medium issues within one day, and non-urgent issues may take a couple of days.
Customer support is very helpful and effectively solves my problems.

Sentiment score
7.8
LogRhythm SIEM is highly scalable, easily expands across environments, and integrates well, suitable for medium to large enterprises.
If it's an enterprise, increasing the number of instances doesn’t pose problems.
It is a powerful tool and helped us to reduce customer downtime and increase work efficiency.
LogRhythm SIEM is highly scalable as it has modular components allowing me to expand storage, indexing, or other resources as needed.
LogRhythm SIEM is scalable; it can handle about 200 or 500 devices without much difference.
The scalability of LogRhythm SIEM is good enough, warranting an eight out of ten rating.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.5
Dynatrace is highly praised for enhanced stability and reliability, with minimal disruptions and frequent updates improving performance.
Sentiment score
4.7
LogRhythm SIEM is stable with high uptime, strong support, handling large data, though updates may affect stability.
Generally, all are stable at ninety-nine point nine nine percent, but if the underlying infrastructure is not deployed correctly, stability may be problematic.
There have been no stability issues with Dynatrace.
Dynatrace is a SaaS product with frequent agent management updates.
The platform needs regular updates to fix problems encountered with each quarterly patch and version release.
LogRhythm SIEM still needs improvement regarding stability, particularly in environments with heavy data consumption.
 

Room For Improvement

Dynatrace faces challenges in pricing, licensing, UI intuitiveness, integration, deployment, dashboard speed, support, compatibility, and monitoring capabilities.
LogRhythm SIEM needs improved integration, user interface, automation, scalability, documentation, and compatibility with non-mainstream platforms and Linux.
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.
I'm specifically looking at AIOps and how we can monitor AIOps-related things, considering we have LLMs and all that stuff.
They have been the pioneers from inception, and they remain at the top of the Gartner chart.
I have noticed some problems with parsing errors, event mismatches, and data mismatching, so ensuring accurate parsing and continuous improvement according to device updates are my basic expectations as a detection engineer.
There is currently no way to determine how much data is being consumed in terms of gigabytes, terabytes, or petabytes from particular devices or environments.
A more user-friendly user interface with drag-and-drop features, similar to key competitors like Splunk, would be beneficial.
 

Setup Cost

Dynatrace's pricing is high, but its advanced features and ease of setup justify the cost for many users.
LogRhythm SIEM is cost-effective for enterprises, offering transparent pricing and flexible licensing, yet incurs higher professional service fees.
Dynatrace is known to be costly, which delayed its integration into our system.
If setting up in a large scale environment, it is overwhelming because it is expensive.
If I would ask you to rate price from 1 to 10, where 1 is cheap and 10 is expensive, how many points would you give to it?
The license cost is around $10 per MPS.
I find LogRhythm SIEM affordable, as it is a bit less costly than QRadar.
 

Valuable Features

Dynatrace provides AI-driven monitoring, user experience analysis, and full-stack observability for efficient performance management and reduced manual intervention.
LogRhythm SIEM offers advanced threat detection, user-friendly interface, comprehensive log management, and automated alerts for enhanced security efficiency.
The integration with Power BI for generating detailed reports is a standout feature.
Dynatrace's AI-driven Davis engine absolutely helps identify performance issues by showing root cause analysis for us up to 200%; whatever is integrated, if it is visible, it can stitch and show.
Dynatrace links compute with services and services with code and other components.
The seamless integration for case management, along with a user-friendly dashboard user interface, makes tasks like threat hunting more efficient.
We have enough budget for cloud deployment, but we choose to keep it on-prem to ensure data privacy; cyberattacks are a concern, but data privacy is the foremost priority due to sensitive government information.
This helps SOC analysts significantly as they can monitor all log sources through a dashboard, quickly identifying which sources haven't reported within their specified timeframes.

Featured Reviews

Manish Indupuri - PeerSpot reviewer
AI-driven insights have reduced downtime and improved cross-team collaboration
We encountered some challenges while using Dynatrace. Although the initial setup was smooth, fine-tuning alert thresholds and custom metrics took some time. Another challenge was that Dynatrace charges based on host units, so we had to carefully plan our agent deployments. The licensing model is expensive. Additionally, the complexity of setup is an issue. While OneAgent and auto-discover services are powerful, the setup is more complex compared to other tools such as Prometheus and Grafana. These integrations are simple and basic, but Dynatrace setup requires more complexity based on the environment. For new users wanting to use Dynatrace, it is difficult. However, the AI-related solutions and metrics took us to the next level for identifying and fixing things. Dynatrace requires an agent for operation. OneAgent is powerful, but it is also resource-heavy. On lightweight nodes or older systems, the agent can slightly impact performance. If Dynatrace could implement a lightweight agent behavior, we could make things faster. Additionally, if Dynatrace could add a long-term retention policy so that we could store more data and find fine-grained details, that would help us. While Dynatrace managed edition supports on-premises deployment, the SaaS version depends on cloud connectivity. For highly regulated or air-gapped environments, setup and updates can be challenging. Although the initial setup is smooth, if someone wants to fine-tune it and fully understand the tool end-to-end, it could be tricky.

Provides strong detection capabilities but requires improvements in parsing and stability
I cannot think of any specific features that LogRhythm SIEM can improve upon since it supports a wide variety of major vendors. However, they need to improve their parsing techniques; the tool should understand various devices and present data in a human-readable format. For example, if a personal Android mobile needs to be integrated, LogRhythm SIEM should be able to parse that data effectively. They also need to improve their database of supported devices to cover smaller vendors alongside the major players, allowing for better global reach and usability. I have noticed some problems with parsing errors, event mismatches, and data mismatching, so ensuring accurate parsing and continuous improvement according to device updates are my basic expectations as a detection engineer.
