Featured Reviews

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.
TO
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

"The monitoring is very good."
"Quick availability of multiple aspects of performance from infrastructure to application layers."
"We also got know many internal code bugs which could have caused memory leaks or other issues which we were not able to catch during that development phase."
"The server monitoring is very accurate in this tool. We are able to prevent many critical Incidents."
"The most valuable feature is the 360-degree view for monitoring, infrastructure, and application worlds."
"By using Dynatrace, we can set up the agents to provide alerts at the JVM level."
"We like the on-premises platform and the horizontal scalability."
"I would give Dynatrace's technical support a 100% rating. I feel like whenever I call or send an email that I get the right person automatically. For the most difficult answers, the most I have to wait is about three days and the answers have been relevant."
"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."
"LogDNA consolidates all logs into one place, which is super valuable."
 

Cons

"The pricing model of Dynatrace is somewhat confusing."
"It would be nice to have a simplified monitoring feature for non-Java applications."
"Two things that can be improved are the licensing and the Business dashboard."
"Enterprise Synthetic of DC RUM can be made more robust."
"I would say it's not scalable, because we've had to move large applications that were in a shared environment to their own separate Dynatrace server instance."
"I would like to see the Business Transactions made easier, so you can distinguish users and companies (this can get very hairy for a large multi-tenant application)."
"I find it is very difficult to train someone in using this application. As amazing as it can be, the learning curve is extensive."
"For the user, for the customer, they expect a solution to be not so expensive."
"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

"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace is excellent."
"The licensing model is confusing in solutioning clients for the number of hosts needed to deploy."
"You get a really well-planned out monitoring suite for the money spent."
"There was also some complexity in the adoption rate of it because of how costly the licensing is."
"The price could be improved."
"​Do a PoC and see if you like it."
"Decodes on less used/popular protocols are available, but they should be included. Additional investment should not be required."
"It's more expensive than other solutions, but worth it. We use full APM monitoring on our primary systems, but only resource monitoring on lesser systems. We shift licenses around our environment when a deeper dive into lesser systems is required."
