We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and SolarWinds NPM 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."Understanding how the user was being targeted by the application as well as knowing their behavior using those applications."
"There is a strong user community. There is no need to talk to the technical support, because all the questions which I have had, all the solutions were in the documentation. Or, I have been able to post a question to the user community and get an answer within a day or two."
"The solution can be deployed quickly on-prem. Once it's deployed, you can use discovery and review the process and service on this application."
"We are able to see globally our end user response time tracing down to the user ID."
"One thing it helped with: We should never get traffic from outside the U.S. and we were getting traffic from Europe, and that was a problem. We found out what caused it. Dynatrace helped us find that information out. We wouldn't have found it otherwise."
"The Dynatrace solution has an important role in optimizing application code and SQL queries for customer solutions."
"A monitoring system that can show us code level details."
"No one else works with security gateways. I am able to configure those perfectly well within the banking and FDIC infrastructure to pass audits."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The people in technical support are very good."
"SolarWinds NPM is a scalable solution since it can handle a huge number of users."
"Technical support is very helpful with our upgrades."
"The product is scalable."
"The product covers our needs for the basic care and feeding of servers, whether they are physical or virtual."
"It combines and presents information from many different sources, giving a corporate-wide vision on a single pane of glass."
"There are a lot of valuable features with SolarWinds NPM. We can receive a lot of detailed data from the monitoring that can use useful for investigations, especially when you are troubleshooting. It is very helpful. Overall it was a very good experience."
"The UX/UI needs improvement. It is not easy to learn."
"We would like to see more third-party tools for training."
"Dynatrace needs to improve its configuration."
"There are a lot of features that could be added that would make this a very useful solution, but it is getting there."
"The new Managed Edition is too complex. I feel like a fish out of water."
"They need better infrastructure monitoring. New Relic is beating them for infrastructure monitoring."
"In the new Dynatrace solution, support for legacy applications is still not there. "
"I would like to see single pane monitoring."
"The SolarWinds notification and alerting configuration could be simplified as it would be easier to find if it was within the NPM web application instead of in a separate client application."
"If they’re going for a “cover everything” approach, then they need to do so and enable a bit more of the "cover everything approach" within every one of the tools."
"Fortigate firewalls are one example of a product that we are unable to monitor properly via SolarWinds NPM."
"SolarWinds NPM can be very slow at times. The database optimization can be done to improve the product performance."
"The only real caveat that we have or that I have an issue with is when I go on vacation, it's a little hard for me to go and modify alerts so that I don't get alerted about things when I'm on vacation."
"SolarWinds needs to be improved such that it is on par with the leading products in the market."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
"The solution needs to integrate with additional SDN technologies that are part of the hyper market."

Hi @Michael Bruen ,
Probably, the below data has already been published on PeerSpot and can help you identify the difference.
