We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and NetWitness Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Helps in managing capacity planning, services performance, and tuning database performance and optimizing queries."
"We can see each session, end-to-end, and discover issues."
"The solution has a very good user interface."
"The user experience allows us to be able to gauge customer experience and understand the performance impact of our platform."
"This monitoring capability gives us the ability to measure the end-user experience."
"Reduces the amount of knowledge that is needed by applications consuming this data."
"Scalability is great. My biggest concern when we first put it in was the resources that it would take up, network traffic that it might create. But it seems perfectly scalable to any environment. Even on some of our heaviest use servers, it doesn't seem to affect anything."
"The ability to take each individual request and dive in to inspect what methods and calls are being made is extremely helpful."
"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"NetWitness can be highly beneficial for incident detection and response."
"The packet capture aspect of it is a valuable feature because it is quite different from a traditional SIEM solution that only carries out investigations based on captured logs."
"The most valuable features are its ingestion of logs and raising of alerts based on those logs."
"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."
"Offers a good wireless feature."
"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."
"What needs improvement in Dynatrace is its dashboard. Creating dashboards in Dynatrace is good, but compared to Grafana, which is integrated with Broadcom DX APM, the resulting dashboard in Dynatrace isn't as clear. The Dynatrace dashboard needs to be more graphic."
"Ease of use could be improved because it can be hard to determine how you made it to the screen you are on and how to get back to it later."
"Custom reporting capabilities should be extended, because it now has basic charting capabilities."
"We should be able to easily simplify both the charting and slicing-and-dicing of user metrics with cookies that contain customer/user information."
"In the new Dynatrace solution, support for legacy applications is still not there. "
"We have had to resolve a lot of things and had a lot of issues with the tool."
"Regarding features, it would be good if there would be some features regarding app security."
"We are happy with the server monitoring, but we feel like the application monitoring should be improved."
"The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together."
"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified."
"Its technical support could be better."
"The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams."
"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."
"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."
