Room For Improvement

Dynatrace users seek improved session replay, UI, documentation, reporting, integration, licensing clarity, network compatibility, and more responsive support.
Opsview requires API upgrades, better graphing, enhanced usability, improved scalability, and refined integrations, while addressing pricing and processing issues.
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.
Enterprise Architect at DXC Technology
Dynatrace could enhance cost and licensing structures, as the current pricing can be expensive for large-scale deployments.
BizOps Engineer at a tech company with 10,001+ employees
I'm specifically looking at AIOps and how we can monitor AIOps-related things, considering we have LLMs and all that stuff.
Performance Architect at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Grafana does have features that I think my current solution lacks, such as better performance reporting.

Setup Cost

Dynatrace pricing is costly due to complex licensing, though its features and flexible pricing can justify the expense.
Opsview offers competitive pricing with negotiable discounts, comprehensive licensing, and valuable features, recommended for enterprise use.
Your initial investment in licensing costs pales in comparison to the question of why you would charge a license fee and usage for a tool if you are going to be three times higher in processing the data you are sending via the agents.
DSRE Director Of Dev Ops/Operations (Management Executive) at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
Dynatrace is known to be costly, which delayed its integration into our system.
System Administrator at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
If setting up in a large scale environment, it is overwhelming because it is expensive.

Valuable Features

Dynatrace excels with AI-driven anomaly detection, user monitoring, seamless integrations, enhancing observability, performance insights, and operational efficiency.
Opsview offers easy configuration, user-friendly GUI, robust alerting, scalability, automation, and integration, enhancing monitoring and incident response.
The integration with Power BI for generating detailed reports is a standout feature.
System Administrator at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
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.
Technical Associate at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Dynatrace links compute with services and services with code and other components.
Principal Consultant at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees

Featured Reviews

Vinothkumar Sugumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Unified dashboards have provided end-to-end visibility and now streamline API latency troubleshooting
I think Dynatrace can be improved in dashboard creation, as this is the face of a product. Although Dynatrace may have many things, new users typically do not know the whole power of the product. To onboard new people, it would be beneficial to provide template dashboards or suggested dashboards. Organizations working with microservice architecture will follow some templates, so suggesting simple, hand-picked features that are really helpful could make a difference. Quick configurable and customizable templates would be very useful. Whenever they come into the product, they can use this template and feel that their product is applied to it. Immediately, they will think everything is online and can improve easily. This base can be provided in template form. Since Dynatrace has a lot of features now, the AI integration makes it simple, but the product itself is very huge. To understand and utilize it, maybe it would be good to index the essential features.

Real-time dashboards have improved our deployment monitoring and incident response
We are using Opsview ourselves, rather than being a consultant or a reseller. We do not use its auto-discovery feature. We do not utilize its API driven architecture. I do not know what metrics we use to assess the effectiveness of Opsview's hybrid IT monitoring. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Opsview as it is good for what it does. I do not know if Grafana has any other advantages besides better stats, as I am not involved in that side. Based on my experience, I would still recommend Opsview to others as it is good for what it does. I gave this review a rating of 8.
