Dynatrace Reviews

We monitor our business's essential websites and also our newest mobile application. Monitoring the application with Appmon has proven essential for our testing department.

We can see which step in a transaction is causing latency, right down to the particular Java class. The granularity is amazing.

Monitoring the PurePath is awesome. You can see every step a transaction goes through, which servers it hits, and what technology it uses (windows, Linux, etc.).

I do not know about how our contract is structured. From what I have heard in the company, Dynatrace is expensive. 

You get a really well-planned out monitoring suite for the money spent.

We leverage on Dynatrace technology to trace and identify issues in the test environment before launching to production.

We were able to decrease the number of production defects ever since we started using Dynatrace in our test environment.

PurePath is the feature that I personally find important. With PurePath, I am able to find the root cause of the error or bug existing in our system.

A tutorial could be embedded in the system as it is hard for a beginner to start using Dynatrace straight away. It has a lot of cool features, however they are too complicated for a new user to start with.

We use Dynatrace to help deliver the complete end-to-end performance experience presenting results in both an IT and business context.

Dynatrace has helped our customers to rapidly resolve performance issues, and most importantly, to correlate the results with the real user experience. 

The product installs quickly and immediately. It begins to learn the architecture of the systems which need to be monitored. It then learns what “normal” looks like, so there really is no need for manual configuration.

Product pricing could be improved.

Product pricing can seem a little over complex, however this is minor and does not detract from the benefits of the solution.

Dynatrace is the market leader for good reason. The company sees the future of APM and starts to deliver the functionality way ahead of many others.

We chose to partner with Dynatrace, not just because it is the market leader, but because they demonstrate the values that we feel are important to our customers, such as: 

• A consultative approach
• Customer centric account management
• Ensuring that customers experience the benefits of the solutions.

• Application monitoring
• End user experience
• Cloud Migration

It has helped us deliver better solutions to our end customers, and helps them in their digital transformation journey.

Monitoring: This helps us in making sure the end user gets an excellent experience with the applications that they use.

Nothing in particular. They could spend more time and effort in creating brand awareness.

I recommend Dynatrace to all of my clients for Server Monitoring/APM. It makes it so much easier to proactively solve problems before they become big headaches, and easily pinpoint the root cause of an issue.

Transparency and visibility into application performance, errors, incidents, etc. helps to foster a collaborative environment.

The ability to drill down from an alert into a problem and pinpoint the source of an issue saves my client teams hours of time.

The user interface is complicated, but recent web versions are getting better all the time. The improvements and new features in each release are great.

Application performance problem triage and root cause investigations. Specific areas of value include providing insight on 100% of network transactions, an end-to-end user experience view, and the opportunity to support migrations to the cloud.

Speed to resolve problems, improve digital customer experiences, and full clarity of root causes independent of functional or system boundaries. Whether it is the server, database, network, or application, Dynatrace provides a consistent unambiguous view of performance. This saves time and money

Comprehensive suite of solutions that can address all aspects of applications from dev to ops.

Richer, deeper partner channel: It needs to expand and deepen the business use cases, where their solutions can help.

Delivering application performance monitoring as a service out to clients for managing the health of critical apps and infrastructure out to end customers.

It is much easier to deploy, maintain, and delivery of high value insights, which almost immediately lowers the mean time to value and resolution of issues.

Auto alerting and reporting on the application and the infrastructure aid us in delivering our service with greater value.

The licensing model is confusing in solutioning clients for the number of hosts needed to deploy. It is difficult to determine without the assistance of Dynatrace employees. The product is superior to others, but it comes with a price tag that is often difficult to position back to clients.

We use it to do performance tuning and APM of production environments for clients. We have revamped our performance tuning practices to leverage Dynatrace instead of using OS-level tools, such as the sysstat package for Linux.

It simplifies a lot of the processes of performance tuning client systems before they go live. It severely reduces the time spent doing performance test cycles. We used to do three to four weeks of tests, and with clients using Dynatrace we can normally do it in one week.

• Drill downs all the way to the database calls.
• Adding sensors.
• Browsing PurePath.
• Saving sessions.

Make the Web UI more robust. Last time I used the web interface, it was still pretty crude. Price also is a major concern for all the clients I work with.
