AI-driven insights have reduced downtime and improved cross-team collaboration
We encountered some challenges while using Dynatrace. Although the initial setup was smooth, fine-tuning alert thresholds and custom metrics took some time. Another challenge was that Dynatrace charges based on host units, so we had to carefully plan our agent deployments. The licensing model is expensive. Additionally, the complexity of setup is an issue. While OneAgent and auto-discover services are powerful, the setup is more complex compared to other tools such as Prometheus and Grafana. These integrations are simple and basic, but Dynatrace setup requires more complexity based on the environment. For new users wanting to use Dynatrace, it is difficult. However, the AI-related solutions and metrics took us to the next level for identifying and fixing things. Dynatrace requires an agent for operation. OneAgent is powerful, but it is also resource-heavy. On lightweight nodes or older systems, the agent can slightly impact performance. If Dynatrace could implement a lightweight agent behavior, we could make things faster. Additionally, if Dynatrace could add a long-term retention policy so that we could store more data and find fine-grained details, that would help us. While Dynatrace managed edition supports on-premises deployment, the SaaS version depends on cloud connectivity. For highly regulated or air-gapped environments, setup and updates can be challenging. Although the initial setup is smooth, if someone wants to fine-tune it and fully understand the tool end-to-end, it could be tricky.

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

"The real-time monitoring, which we are getting, is amazing."
"Use it as fast as you can."
"We spend less time investing in problems, and we can spend more time on developing new projects."
"Dynatrace is an extremely helpful APM solution in large, complex environments, whenever we need to have an integrated vision of our users, infrastructure, and applications."
"PurePath gives a lot of flexibility in identifying issues and finding the flow of execution."
"The most valuable feature is the RUM, as we finally have 100% visibility on website performance, including third-party sources."
"The solution is multi-tenant and based in Big data technology."
"PurePath is the most useful feature in the Appmon tool."
"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."
"Almost instant, for its price and quality the ROI is unbeatable."
"One dashboard shows entire infrastructure status Quick update process makes working with Ruxit really easy"
 

Cons

"Better intelligence in terms of identifying business transactions would be appreciated."
"The reporting could be better."
"We would like to see more dashboarding capabilities and the ability to export custom reports."
"They should include more mission learning into the product and provide additional performance metrics for application learning."
"The solution could improve by allowing more dashboards customization. This would allow us to monitor the metric better."
"It would be nice if there were a way that it could be made simpler, given the complexity of the things that we're monitoring."
"Definitely something to be improved is that OneAgent runs as a route, and not all applications want to run as route."
"AppMon doesn't scale well."
"Does not yet support Cassandra as a database integration."
"It is a pity that active monitoring can only be done from the Internet and not on local premise."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is somewhat high."
"Price (of the product) is a major concern for all the clients I work with."
"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."
"There is time savings. People's times have been cut in half using this solution because we were previously doing a lot of that manual work. Now, it's a lot more automated, and the data is just there."
"Its licensing is complicated or not transparent."
"Setup cost is very low considering that it is an almost totally, automatic process."
"Decodes on less used/popular protocols are available, but they should be included. Additional investment should not be required."
"I feel the price is good for what the product does."

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 (...
