We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and Oracle Enterprise Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."On the Managed side tech support has been pretty good. Stuff gets turned around pretty quickly. With them being able to do the remote management from the back-end, they are able to fix stuff up if they need to."
"Most importantly the back-end components. Most of the back-end components that the application connects to; nobody knows how our application interacts with, for example, the DataPower Gateway. But AppMon really provides that information for us. So finding the gaps is the key here."
"Interrelating the logs and infrastructure issues, application issues, DC RUM, everything in one dashboard, saves us time in troubleshooting."
"From a diagnosing standpoint, it has been a game changer. Before, we did not have monitoring, so anytime there was an issue, it was just guess-and-check."
"It was delivered when we wanted it and has performed exceptionally well."
"You can do deep dive analysis and find root cause quickly."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can drill down to the code level and get a breadth of information."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager as a tool to monitor Oracle products."
"I like that it's stable."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM."
"We use it extensively for performance tuning testing, monitoring, and configuration."
"I mostly use the top events, and look at how the execution is happening on the database; and monitoring the cluster level rates. I even look at the execution plan."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring because it's very useful for checking and troubleshooting compared with other products, like Nagios for example, that have some interaction with Oracle."
"Some of the most valuable features are its real-time performance view/dashboard, metric history, real-time monitoring and alerts, as well as quick access to Oracle's tuning and diagnostic options."
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"More visibility into Python processes."
"The plugin architecture is not very flexible, which makes it difficult to add the custom monitoring not available through Dynatrace, specifically around file monitoring."
"I need more experience."
"I would like to know if classes and methods selected in "Method Sensor Rules" were changed in the applications, and not depend on the developers to warn us."
"Some of the analytics that you get in, e.g., a waterfall analysis of a web page could be clearer. A lot of that is not directly attributable to Dynatrace. Sometimes a vendor will implement a tag or JavaScript plugin that's named something entirely different than what it does. This makes it difficult to track that from the waterfall list, figure out where exactly that component is, and dig more into what it's doing. Dynatrace could probably improve a bit on that waterfall layout to make it clearer as to what exactly is there. It does a wonderful job of telling you what loads and when, but it could be improved in terms of telling me what exactly it is loading."
"DevOps plugin monitoring tools need improvement."
"Make the Web UI more robust. Last time I used the web interface, it was still pretty crude."
"Graphically, it is not good."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"They should improve the hover text context. This would provide assistance whenever a task is attempted by a DBA."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses."
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"In my experience, the monitoring could be improved."
