Dynatrace Reviews

Application performance diagnostics of our enterprise critical applications. Proactive monitoring of response times and trends. Performance and load testing of new versions.

• Helps us to quickly find performance issues with new applications or new feature introductions.
• Allows us to see response time, failure rate, user experience, and visualize trends.
• Root cause analysis of problems with live systems.
• Performance and load testing evaluations.

The ability to go from a high level performance view to a specific transaction. Dynatrace covers the important tiers and allows us to quickly find trends and root causes in all our critical application lifecycle steps (Ops, Dev, and Performance).

It is not clear which path the product will follow with Dynatrace in the cloud (or on-premise) and Appmon. As an existing customer who has invested heavily in training and using the Appmon version, it is not clear what are our long-term strategy should be to upgrade (Appmon vs Dynatrace).

User performance monitoring; to be able to proactively understand the user experience on our site.

• Ability to identify which pages are slow and cause frustration for our users.
• Ability to identify user browsers, user geographical location.
• Email alert and mobile app alert are very useful for informing the team that something is going wrong.

User Sessions. I am able to tell what the user experience is like on the web pages.

Also, I'm able to drill down to identify problem issues.

I would like the ability to export a user session into csv format. (I am aware that I can export a user session via a webhook).

We started using Dynatrace software as a better alerting and application monitoring mechanism. We are happy with the server monitoring, but we feel like the application monitoring should be improved.

I would definitely say it improved the functionality. We are able to prevent the major downtimes by proactive monitoring alerts.

• Server monitoring
• Dashboards
• PurePath

PurePath comparisons are the most useful feature.

It can be improved in narrowing the exact exception/ERROR in application monitoring. It should focus more on app monitoring and capture for some of the known alerts and be able to identify which system is having the issue.

We use it for proactive monitoring, user experience monitoring, analyzing load versus response time.

Very good for improving application performance. Gives us a view of the application, infrastructure, and users' experience with the application.

It identifies all the functional errors and slow APIs.

End-to-end monitoring could use more default dashboards.

Application Performance Monitoring. 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.

• Monitoring of application performance 
• Monitoring of infrastructure components 
• Monitoring of user experience
• Code level performance metrics

We find the majority of the features very usable and valuable. Our focus would be on the ability to drill into our custom code and validate that it is performing as expected. The ability to monitor performance and create custom dashboards. 

With new versions coming out, staying up to speed and training needs. Dynatrace provides this via many outlets, so finding resources to keep yourself relevant within the tool is not that challenging. 

We use the product on our applications for monitoring and troubleshooting errors through customized dashboards.

The major impact of improvement is from AppMon in our development area. Now we are enable to find applications problems more quickly.

The best feature of the product for me is the real troubleshooting capability through the PurePath analysis. 

I also like the Transaction Flow dashlet where I can see the real path of our web request through the application's layers.

I don't much like the Java Management Extension. I would rather do administration tasks in a web GUI.

Database monitoring and server performance. Apart from that, error handling and log tracking are also cool features.

There are multiple servers, so to track each server performance is very tough. Dynatrace really did an awesome job to provide us a better solution.

Server performance, because our company has multiple servers. To track each server manually without an application is very hectic. Dynatrace solves the problem by graph to monitor it all instantly.

Dashboards are too clumsy, so it is good to keep less on dashboards and be easier to find the sections. 

Dynatrace is bit costly and not easily affordable.

We use it to find database hotspots, method hotspots, CPU, JVM , Disk I/O and more.

Has helped us find issues such as application suspension and to improve web services data.

PurePath, Database Hotspots, Method Hotspots, CPU, JVM, disk I/O and other graphs.

Find the right method, give the cause of suspension, give tips for resolution, and one call query to find method.

We were using a freeware tool and we needed all the information in one tool.
