Dynatrace Reviews

We have all our infrastructure in the cloud. 

This tool helps us gather information from all hosts and services, then cross reference the information.

Although, we are still implementing it, we have some servers using Dynatrace. We have been using it to find bugs in our production environment.

The cloud integration, because it allows us to monitor serverless services as well as Docker containers, etc. 

I also like the "session replay".

They could improve their price ranges, as there is no option for startups or testing.

It has all the things an enterprise needs.

Customers want to monitor .NET applications and real user monitoring on online banking applications for desktop and mobile.

Dynatrace shows the customer path, common errors on desktop and mobile, and allows us to achieve faster page loads.

PurePath does deep dive analysis, has dashboards, and provides real user experience monitoring. It has allowed us to do analysis which was never possible before.

• Provide much better alignment between AppMon and Dynatrace. 
• Add support for Ruby.
• Make sure older frameworks, like PHP 5.3, are supported.

Performance monitoring of business critical applications in production and pre-production environments.

Mean time to recover (MTTR) has reduced significantly during major outages due to specific data pinpointed by DT applications.

Smartscape display for ease of visibility, pinpointing a exact problem, and providing necessary details for fixing and even improving on.

Log analytics in the classic synthetic and RUM tools would be a great addition. Although, it is understandable that this is offered as a good reason for migrating to Dynatrace.

We are implementing this as part of an overall end user experience and application monitoring. Our environments include Java, .NET, web, mobile, Linux, Windows, etc.

• Complete visibility into end-to-end user transactions.
• Automation and anomaly detection has helped reduce MTTR and MTBF. 
• We could impose optimization processes as well.

• Quick, simple deployment
• Automation
• Auto discovery
• Detailed data availability all the time

We would like to see more dashboarding capabilities and the ability to export custom reports. Additionally, we would love to see more advanced log analytic capabilities, though the current ones are already ahead of competition.

Identifying performance bottlenecks on load testing environments. Before launching new code into production, it is imperative to know if performance issues will arise.

It prevents (together with performance testing) production performance issues which usually result in customer complaints or system downtime.

The product capabilities all together are valuable. You get a good insight into what is going on inside your code.

• Monitoring asynchronous code requires manual instrumentation (most of the time). 
• Some autodiscovery capabilities would be nice in the tool.

Application monitoring on our clients environments, including microservices, JVM, .NET, and many other technologies

Real user monitoring is one of the best things in solution. The possibility to analyze any particular user session is wonderful.

• We have some issues with react user sessions. 
• We sometimes have to run plugins on docker containers.

The product is really fast to implement and gives customers instant value. This is important, because it reduces costs on the implementation.

We are implementing software on our clients' environments

We use it to monitor and debug issues for both our infrastructure and our code. Dashboards are quite handy to get a quick glance at the health of our system.

The dashboard allows us to monitor and proactively act upon any breaches in the threshold for our infrastructure. We have also had a couple of cases where Dynatrace identified issues within the code, such as memory leakage.

PurePath technology allows us to drill down deeper into the system. This helps us isolate and rectify problems more quickly.

• The installation process had quite a few moving parts, so it was a little tricky getting everything to work in first go. It required a solid day for the requested Dynatrace onsite technical person to get everything set up. 
• Nginx monitoring service did not work out-of-the-box, so we had to tinker with it for quite some time.
• Beginner video tutorials would really help.

Overall, it has provided improved stability to our system both within prod and non-prod environments.

I use Dynatrace Client everyday. I also use it with web dashboards for monitoring performance of the systems and to trace our KPIs.

I have reduced our disruption time. With the automatic alerts, we prevent and better catch the root cause of problems. 

The most useful features are the measures out-of-the-box and the automatic alerts.

Furthermore, the web dashboard is very simple to use.

It is necessary to improve the integration with the product, Oracle Siebel.

Dynatrace must reduce the required resources for on-premise, because they are too high.
