They have a response time of forty-eight hours, which is not instant support.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Dynatrace excels in scalability, efficiently managing large-scale environments, with users rating its capability nine out of ten.
Sentiment score
8.1
Sumo Logic Security offers scalable, cloud-based solutions praised for integration, performance, and flexibility across diverse infrastructures, with positive user feedback.
If it's an enterprise, increasing the number of instances doesn’t pose problems.
The tool has high scalability because everything is based in the cloud.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Dynatrace is praised for high stability and reliability, with frequent updates and strong SaaS performance minimizing downtime.
Sentiment score
8.1
Sumo Logic Security is highly praised for stability, reliability, and maintaining performance under load, with minimal latency issues.
Generally, all are stable at ninety-nine point nine nine percent, but if the underlying infrastructure is not deployed correctly, stability may be problematic.
There have been no stability issues with Dynatrace.
If there are many records, the system may stop or the UI may become unresponsive.
 

Room For Improvement

Dynatrace needs UI improvements, user-friendliness, better alerts, streamlined integration, and enhanced reporting for improved user experience and support.
Sumo Logic Security faces challenges in performance, automation, support, API integration, and high costs, needing improvements across multiple areas.
The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.
I'm specifically looking at AIOps and how we can monitor AIOps-related things, considering we have LLMs and all that stuff.
Dynatrace stands out when making comparisons with other tools.
The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk.
This is crucial to sell to the government and financial sectors as they require data retention within each country.
 

Setup Cost

Dynatrace pricing is high but offers value with robust features, although licensing complexity influences total cost significantly.
Sumo Logic Security users find AWS Marketplace simplifies billing and offers a competitive, cost-effective pricing structure despite scalability concerns.
Dynatrace is known to be costly, which delayed its integration into our system.
If I would ask you to rate price from 1 to 10, where 1 is cheap and 10 is expensive, how many points would you give to it?
This makes it more cost-effective because other solutions often include a third element in their pricing.
 

Valuable Features

Dynatrace offers detailed monitoring with AI-driven insights, customizable dashboards, and seamless integration, enhancing incident response and performance analysis.
Sumo Logic Security offers robust threat intelligence, real-time observability, and seamless integrations, making it essential for SecOps teams.
The integration with Power BI for generating detailed reports is a standout feature.
I find the classic service analysis, service analysis, distribution tracing, and the technology stack that it shows most valuable about Dynatrace, along with the Scape View.
Graduation features offered by Dynatrace provide a single view and can connect with many other monitoring systems.
If we cannot find the data in other tools, like email security or NDR, we can fetch those logs in the Log Analytics platform of Sumo Logic.
Sumo Logic Security offers a single dashboard and customization, which are the most valuable features.

Featured Reviews

Anand_Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a comprehensive view by integrating with other monitoring systems
There may be an issue since there are many tools like Splunk involved in network monitoring. From an IP perspective, Dynatrace is performing well. If they want to develop in network monitoring, they can, as it's part of their product line. It's not rocketry, so they can accomplish it. If I, as an SI, look at it from an enterprise perspective, considering the cost from the client, I prefer not to go with multiple systems, as they don't provide a complete 360-degree view. They need to improve on claims about being an enterprise system. The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.
Vinay Patel D N - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective with good log analytics but needs better rule correlation
The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk. Sometimes logs will not fetch, and there are issues if the log volume exceeds a threshold. Not every tool is integrated with Sumo Logic. The response time for their support could be better, and it is not very user-friendly.
