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.

Advanced AI-driven monitoring has strengthened investigations and now prioritizes critical threats
I would not say there is anything that could be better in SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM; I think we have seen something unique in the product. This product has the potential to add more SOC functionality on top of its SIEM, which can automate a few more things because I have the information there. I need to do what I would call security agents or agentic AI to be built on top; it can take care of a lot more analysis and actions. Maybe licensing cost can also be looked at and reduced. We are still to see the automated feature work a little bit more; we are not really using it to the full extent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"I am able to customize my dashboard based on the test requirement and it helps me to focus on the area that really needs close monitoring."
"We can be more productive and agile. It allows us to be more accurate when we need to work with bugs."
"Provides bespoke dashboards and reports which help our business to grow."
"This tool has been essential for monitoring our systems, gathering all performance data, and helping to quickly resolve difficult problems affecting our customers ability to process their work through our systems."
"We now know when the application is down, as opposed to students opening tickets and letting us know, so it's more proactive."
"Mean time to recover (MTTR) has reduced significantly during major outages due to specific data pinpointed by DT applications."
"Our main use is to monitor our applications for any issues that might arise and use the data to assure that our performance trending is headed in the right direction."
"When they face attacks such as ransomware and are dissatisfied with their existing solutions, they switch to SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, which is quite good in detecting unknown threats, cleaning the system, and handling ransomware."
"After using SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, it has reduced our incident response time by forty to fifty percent compared to other tools."
"AI-driven capabilities will give me real-time detection and will protect my autonomous AI interruption."
"Overall, I would assess the overall security posture after implementing SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM as significantly better."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM's AI-powered analytics does affect our SOC's ability to reduce false positives; that is one of the biggest advantages because the manpower that I have is limited."
 

Cons

"Pricing and the license model could be improved."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"Our primary wish list for RFEs or feature requests are additional integration options with ticketing systems."
"More integrations could prove very beneficial to us."
"One piece that we think that's missing is, there were thread names that were missing in analytical information in the Dynatrace solution, versus the AppMon solution. The AppMon solution gives you that information, and it is very helpful for connecting dots and bringing all the pieces together."
"The AppMon 6.5 is problematic in configuring."
"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."
"Its infra monitoring is not that good. Strong end-to-end infrastructure monitoring is missing."
"At the moment, I feel the pricing is a little bit on the higher side, but the tool is positioned in a place where risk is very high, and we do not want to take chances, so we are prepared to pay the premium."
"Another area for improvement is that the product is somewhat expensive. Pricing could be improved as well."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM has some performance and reliability issues that need improvement."
"It is quite good, but the only downside is that it is costly."
"In AI SIEM, the areas that have room for improvement are the parsers for third-party integrated data or for third-party data sources that are not native integrations, which could be made a bit easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The limitations I see are more to do - and maybe it's because of the nature of the job I have - but they have to do with pricing. It's a little bit pricey. It's a very good tool. It's worth the price, to a certain degree. But it's hard to justify when it's that costly."
"The price could be improved."
"The solution is not cheap."
"Its licensing is complicated or not transparent."
"I have not been able to observe more than 1% overhead, despite Dynatrace saying that it can be slightly higher in some situations."
"There was also some complexity in the adoption rate of it because of how costly the licensing is."
"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.​"
"Dynatrace is an expensive solution."
