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.

Solution Management at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Next-gen monitoring tool for your application stack
Integration of server, application and end-user experience in one tool. Not threshold-based, smart learning logic (filtering out recurring events). Out of the box dashboards with customization capabilities We were able to uninstall other low level tools so we only take care of one dashboard now.…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"It helps developers fix old and new problems, helps businesses to understand conversions, statistics, and service health."
"The Transaction Flow diagram and the class and meta level information, those are really key selling points in the automation for AppMon. Also, the meta level instrumentation and the dashboards that most of the people use in our organization."
"Gives me the ability to identify user browsers, user geographical location."
"Dynatrace helps in that we can easily get one view, correlate, and everything will be one single pane."
"Dynatrace provides visibility into the application and its performance from the user to back-end services."
"From a management perspective, I have a single pane of glass view to my entire environment."
"Dynatrace shows the customer path, common errors on desktop and mobile, and allows us to achieve faster page loads."
"It is like a walk in the park; it is developed by guys who really understand what the monitoring and diagnosing needs are nowadays, and it is an innovative product with lots of potential."
"One dashboard shows entire infrastructure status Quick update process makes working with Ruxit really easy"
"Almost instant, for its price and quality the ROI is unbeatable."
 

Cons

"They need to develop how to capture the JDBC and MBeans metrics."
"I would like to see an App store for plugins and extensions."
"Graphically, it is not good."
"We're developing more and more microservices and, each time, for an AppMon license, you have to deploy it, you have to configure it, you to get charged for it. It's very time-consuming."
"With Dynatrace we need to upgrade and restart often. New Relic is more stable than Dynatrace."
"It could be more affordable and therefore, more widely used by including more features like DEM as part of licensing cost rather than an additional expense."
"Filters should have a “negative” option."
"The licensing part is complicated or not transparent."
"It is a pity that active monitoring can only be done from the Internet and not on local premise."
"Does not yet support Cassandra as a database integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Always gives good ROI and total cost of ownership."
"Dynatrace is very good and it's provided a lot of information, it plays a positive role in making your application up to date in the market. If you want to monitor some applications only, it would be cheaper if you did cloud monitoring, but the price benefit depends on the use case."
"​I would recommend doing a PoC."
"The pricing is a bit on the higher end."
"Everything is great, but the licensing could always be cheaper. With the every growing tool set of Ops teams, we find it harder to budget for tooling while ensuring we still have the proper insight into our applications."
"Decodes on less used/popular protocols are available, but they should be included. Additional investment should not be required."
"Its price is quite high. Although it is worth it, it would be better if its price is reduced. They base their prices around licensing. Their prices are based on agent licensing and consumption licensing. Both of these can be a bit cheaper, but if they are the best in the market, as I consider them to be, I assume that their prices will be higher. They are delivering the product for that price."
"Look at the product and the product features, not the price. Too often people look at the price and turn away. Dynatrace costs a little bit more than the other products I researched, but it can do far more.​"

We did a trial of the Dynatrace vs AppDynamics vs New Relic Real User Monitoring tools and based on this we selected New Relic, mainly because of their powerful Insights tool that easily allows you to create your own dashboards / alert using a variant of SQL. Since we acquired the RUM tool (Browser) we have trialled their APM tool which we are currently appraising vs our existing CA APM tool (...
