Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It eases the investigation process (faster feedback loop with clients), better pro-activity on possible outages (in order to avoid outages), and eases the process of fine tuning allocation of resources to processes.""With PurePath, I am able to find the root cause of the error or bug existing in our system.""It helps DevOps find all its problems easily and analyzes performance problems.""The speed and problem resolution.""The real-user monitoring is mostly used to gauge the difference in performance for multitenant applications, This is so we can discern if there are any local network or client-facing issues when we do a comparison between each customer. It is quite important for us to be able to identify a client-side issue, as opposed to a feature managed problem, because we're essentially providing managed services of business applications.""Comprehensive suite of solutions that can address all aspects of applications from dev to ops.""Our customers are now able to control their infrastructure with a single tool, and can easily check the connections with all components.""Dynatrace gives excellent insight into the performance of our applications."

"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well.""It provides easy visibility. I also like the shareable queries because we share a lot across groups.""It gives us a bird's eye view of what's happening from our connection's point of view.""Sumo Logic is an easy solution to use. You can set it up very quickly, and it includes a lot of training videos.""We have used it many times to find a root cause of a live issue, then fix the problem in the applications.""We use it to ingest Windows domain controller logs. We use this to monitor if anyone is placed in particular administration groups that potentially shouldn't be. It helps us keep track of people.""The solution is quite stable.""The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."

Cons
"Mainly navigation needs improvement. It is easier to follow a flow. Following the flow of the admin now is not easy.""While designing the business dashboard, I encountered various bugs that impacted my work.""The solution could improve on integration, cloud services, and making the configuration less difficult.""The configuration of the alerts, that's been a challenge in AppMon for me, right now. Some of the alerts are too noisy, but that might be my lack of some configuration.""Pretty much every month there are new features. However, its information on those new features is scarce.""Cloud monitoring and reporting need improvement, as well as how to manipulate data and export it to share with business executives.""Due to the fact that you doing a lot, you have a problem with the learning curve. We're really looking for ways to make this product more accessible.""In the new Dynatrace solution, support for legacy applications is still not there. ​"

More Dynatrace Cons →

"If you look at some of the other offerings right now that are available in the market, they do offer APM as well as the product they're offering. I believe Sumo Logic is not there yet. So that's something which I would love to see.""Sumo Logic needs to make sure integrating solutions are seamless.""If you want to up your subscription through the AWS Marketplace, it can be difficult. You can't just go back to the AWS Marketplace, and say, "I want a bigger one now." You have to contact the sales team, then they do it on the back-end. This could definitely be improved.""In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently.""The dashboard has room for improvement, because sometimes it is a difficult to create a specific dashboard or query. This would be a nice place to correct problems.""It took a bit of trial and error to get it set up correctly based on everything we had to do. In the end, we had to send everything over HTTP, which was sort of a stop-gap.""From the network segmentation side, there is some discrepancy in log onboarding. The tool needs to improve direct API integrations, login integration, native login integration, etc.""There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is based on the number of servers monitored, so for big applications, it is a bit expensive."
  • "Licensing is a bit complicated for Dynatrace, and pricing is dependent on how much your organization invests."
  • "We found an issue within the first week of ownership that has been costing us more than the entire license cost."
  • "Product pricing can seem a little over complex, however this is minor and does not detract from the benefits of the solution."
  • "Getting the first agents installed, getting information, and coverage in a initial set of systems can be done in hours and with a low cost entry point."
  • "Price (of the product) is a major concern for all the clients I work with."
  • "The licensing model is confusing in solutioning clients for the number of hosts needed to deploy."
  • "The product is superior to others, but it comes with a price tag that is often difficult to position back to clients."

  • "Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
  • "Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
  • "We chose to go through the AWS Marketplace because it makes it a lot easier when we bill our customers. Rather than having to get multiple different sources of information then correlate a monthly bill for our customers, it is just included in the AWS usage charges."
  • "The AWS Marketplace pricing is fairly reasonable for what it does. I wouldn't call it expensive, but I wouldn't call it cheap. It is pretty good."
  • "The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
  • "The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
  • "Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
  • "If we went to ELK Stack, which is open source, it would have been less costly, but it would have required more development from our side."
