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.

It consolidates all logs into one place and provides required features and functionalities

Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to do RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"End-to-end visibility of the applications, since we have them instrumented. Understanding where the hotspots are in the applications."

"We obtained a better insight into our environment and consolidated a lot of our old apps into one app."

"I find that the AI on offer is useful, as it's good at identifying problems. You do need a bit of customizing, however, even in its sort of vanilla form, it's pretty good at identifying problems and the root causes of those problems and whatnot."

"It provides the whole perspective in a single place when trying to guide the right people to go to the right solution at any given point in time."

"We have used Dynatrace in our performance testing environments to get ahead of issues before they make it into production."

"We are using it on most of our platforms, which are on a big scale and across the globe."

"It identifies problem areas and performance issues."

"By using Dynatrace Managed, we have improved customer satisfaction and have also helped internal teams and subcontractors make the application more stable."

More Dynatrace pros

"LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable."

"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."

Cons

"In the next release, I'd like to see more portables included regarding the screens."

"Setting up the thresholds and alerting, it is complicated to understand their use cases."

"There were a number of marketing promises that were made, which we do not see it in the tool yet. "

"Training is required for all of the people who will be using it, and this should not be overlooked. I would even recommend nominating an SME in each of the three areas covered: user behaviour analysis, development, and infrastructure/operations support."

"Richer, deeper partner channel: It needs to expand and deepen the business use cases, where their solutions can help."

"The one thing people really liked that we can do in AppMon is executive dashboards and, until recently, you couldn't even create the business transactions you need for the data at the back-end of those dashboards. But if I had to ask for one thing it would be: In the new platform, give me the ability to do dashboarding in the way it's done in AppMon, and I think that would bridge a lot of the missing pieces. If I could do the same type of executive dashboards on the walls, they would be happy."

"Cloud monitoring is insufficient. We would prefer Dynatrace to make more partnerships with major cloud applications like Salesforce, C4C, etc."

"On the side of the end user experience, I would suggest adding a new service for analyzing the backtrace of users."

More Dynatrace cons

"No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."

"Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"Its licensing is complicated or not transparent."

"Pricing can be high, especially for Portuguese standards. But as one says, you get what you pay for."

"The pricing is a bit on the higher end."

"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace is excellent."

"There is a license cost, which is obviously more expensive than an open-source solution, but for the return on investment from what you get from it, it's a great investment. Of course, it could always be cheaper."

"Dynatrace has a place for everybody. How you use it and what your budgetary limitations are will dictate what you do with it. But it's within everybody's reach. If you're a small organization and you have a large infrastructure, you may not be able to monitor the whole thing. You may have to pick and choose what you want to monitor, and you have the ability to do so. Your available funds are going to dictate that."

"There are additional Professional Services costs which ensure the solution is configured with meaningful names so you're getting the most money for your investment."

Dynatrace is the only solution that provides answers to organizations based on deep insight into each user, transaction, and organization's environment.
