One area for improvement I see for Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) is that New Relic is a little more end-user friendly. Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) requires some amount of training. I think Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) can work in that direction, and now that it has already integrated AIOps, I believe they are taking a step in the right direction. There is nothing disadvantageous; there is always room for improvement, especially for first-time customers and users of Dynatrace (Private Offer Only). I have not purchased Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) myself because I used it as an employee of certain organizations. However, I know for sure that Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) is a little costlier compared to New Relic and AppDynamics. It might want to consider reducing its cost, pricing model, or come up with different pricing models to capture untapped markets globally. A smaller organization might not be able to afford a license. The area that is still lacking involves expanding Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) network and working to replace AppDynamics and New Relic, even if it takes a toll on pricing. Once Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) covers the entire market globally and is in every organization with no other tools competing, they can raise their price later alongside all new features being added. I think a pricing strategy is essential for improvement.
There are several disadvantages with Dynatrace (Private Offer Only). First, the development team prefers to have an X-View, but Dynatrace (Private Offer Only), DataDog, and New Relic did not provide an X-View of the transaction. Second, some DataDog users complained about Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) requiring more clicks to figure out problems. DataDog attempts to display major issues on one screen without forcing users to click more. Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) is more geared toward true engineers, forcing users to click more options or buttons. Third, pricing is a significant issue, particularly in Korea. When I was operating as a distributor, Korea did not have a country manager or country director for an extended period. Although there was an engineer and an account executive, there was no country manager equivalent to DataDog or New Relic. When DataDog provided strategic pricing, Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) was unable to offer comparable options. Additionally, Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) continues to force customers to pay more at renewal. While New Relic and DataDog also have price increases during renewal, they typically waive these increases. However, Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) consistently requests customers to accept the uplifting. This pricing approach is the major reason why we lost customers in Korea.
I could identify a disadvantage of Dynatrace regarding costing, as it is very expensive. I believe that Dynatrace could add more integrations, as Datadog has a security test feature, whereas Dynatrace has fewer security test features.

One thing I would improve in Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) is definitely the licensing model, as it is expensive. Because if you charge me per 16 GB of RAM, we are an enterprise. Essentially, one machine, one of our servers, or bare-metal systems will, of course, have more than 16 GB RAM. Because we are an enterprise in multiple countries, it runs out expensive compared to some of the competitors who just bill us based on an endpoint or IP address. Besides the price, I see room for improvement in two areas: logs correlation with APM and the capability to do network monitoring. Dynatrace (Private Offer Only) is not strong at using SNMP and ICMP. We just get basic network monitoring metrics.
