Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Smartscape display for ease of visibility, pinpointing a exact problem, and providing necessary details for fixing and even improving on.""The solution's ability to assess the severity of anomalies based on the actual impact to users and business KPIs is great. It's exactly what we need. The severity impact is based on the users, the availability, and the impact it has on your business.""We obtained a better insight into our environment and consolidated a lot of our old apps into one app.""The most valuable things that we have seen are the user experience and capturing what the users are doing inside the browser.""We are able to see globally our end user response time tracing down to the user ID.""Understanding how the user was being targeted by the application as well as knowing their behavior using those applications.​""PurePath gives a lot of flexibility in identifying issues and finding the flow of execution.""The most valuable component of it is taking that guessing out of troubleshooting problems. We no longer have to rely on an architect, or an application person, or someone's memory of how the transaction moves throughout the infrastructure and the different dependencies that it has on it. We can see it right there and we find out more that we ever imagined."

More Dynatrace Pros →

"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek was the ability it gave us to see the connection procedure.""The most valuable features are the voice bot, which checks the quality of service for voice, and the expert view that gives me insight on what and where to troubleshoot.""The most valuable feature is OmniPeek is user-friendly.""It's a solid piece of software. It's stable.""I believe the most crucial feature of OmniPeek search is the ability to sniff packets based on channel switching.""The most valuable feature of OmniPeek is the ability to assign custom color codes to the different packets easily."

More OmniPeek Pros →

Cons
"The web version of the client interface needs more features that are in the Java-based thick client.""The user interface for the management functions is not particularly intuitive for even the most common features.""A useful addition for known issues would be the ability to automatically perform certain activities as a first attempt to resolve issues which are creating a problem.""I would like to see Dynatrace be more user-friendly. Sometimes there are too many options to use from, which is good, but it can become confusing on how to proceed.""There is still a certain amount of technical skills needed to be able to understand what you are seeing on it. You also need a large amount of technical or infrastructure skills to understand how and where to install it.""C language integration requires manual implementation through the SDK, which is rather difficult and time consuming.""The web interface, in some cases, is a little ambiguous to use.""Hard to use for beginners, to setup and explore."

More Dynatrace Cons →

"I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning.""I am not using OmniPeek for automation, we only do manual testing. Automation testing is tedious to do. The automation should be more user-friendly. I have exposed some APIs but the usage is not user-friendly.""I don't see a clear roadmap in the future for improving this software.""Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement.""I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment.""The solution's automation has room for improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is based on the number of servers monitored, so for big applications, it is a bit expensive."
  • "Licensing is a bit complicated for Dynatrace, and pricing is dependent on how much your organization invests."
  • "We found an issue within the first week of ownership that has been costing us more than the entire license cost."
  • "Product pricing can seem a little over complex, however this is minor and does not detract from the benefits of the solution."
  • "Getting the first agents installed, getting information, and coverage in a initial set of systems can be done in hours and with a low cost entry point."
  • "Price (of the product) is a major concern for all the clients I work with."
  • "The licensing model is confusing in solutioning clients for the number of hosts needed to deploy."
  • "The product is superior to others, but it comes with a price tag that is often difficult to position back to clients."
  • More Dynatrace Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing for this solution could be improved, as it is a very expensive product."
  • "There are different types of licenses available."
  • "We have only purchased the add-on once and have not paid for any subsequent versions as it was too costly for us."

    Reviews from Real Users

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

    Barry P., a managing performance engineer at Medica Health Plans, writes, "With Dynatrace, we have synthetic checks and real-user monitoring of all of our websites, places where members and providers can interact with us over the web. We monitor the response times of those with Dynatrace, and it's all integrated into one place."

    A consultant at a tech service company notes, "A feature that's one of the highlights of Dynatrace is the AI. The second most valuable feature is OneAgent. Between infrastructures, applications, operating systems, you can deploy with just a single agent and can practically install and forget about it."
