Improves our application at the code level because of its different performance metrics

They should provide all the information of the NetDiagnostics tool details on the Internet. Or, it will be good if they could upload the configuration and monitoring feature detail videos on YouTube . REST API should be supported from the UI. As of now, it is supported from the CLI . They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI. In next release, I would like to see the application level monitor supported in some way.

AI-driven insights have reduced downtime and improved cross-team collaboration

We encountered some challenges while using Dynatrace. Although the initial setup was smooth, fine-tuning alert thresholds and custom metrics took some time. Another challenge was that Dynatrace charges based on host units, so we had to carefully plan our agent deployments. The licensing model is expensive. Additionally, the complexity of setup is an issue. While OneAgent and auto-discover services are powerful, the setup is more complex compared to other tools such as Prometheus and Grafana. These integrations are simple and basic, but Dynatrace setup requires more complexity based on the environment. For new users wanting to use Dynatrace, it is difficult. However, the AI-related solutions and metrics took us to the next level for identifying and fixing things. Dynatrace requires an agent for operation. OneAgent is powerful, but it is also resource-heavy. On lightweight nodes or older systems, the agent can slightly impact performance. If Dynatrace could implement a lightweight agent behavior, we could make things faster. Additionally, if Dynatrace could add a long-term retention policy so that we could store more data and find fine-grained details, that would help us. While Dynatrace managed edition supports on-premises deployment, the SaaS version depends on cloud connectivity. For highly regulated or air-gapped environments, setup and updates can be challenging. Although the initial setup is smooth, if someone wants to fine-tune it and fully understand the tool end-to-end, it could be tricky.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Its end-to-end dashboard provides information on all the integration callouts happening on the server side."

"Application end-to-end monitoring: This is one of the good features available in the tool, as it includes error detection, capturing exception, method calling tree, transaction flow map, etc."

"The benefits we receive using this tool increase productivity, which increase revenue for the state."

"I think Dynatrace has good integration. I saw an integration with xMatters where, when there's a problem, it can kick out a message to the whomever it is, with xMatters."

"From my clients' perspective, Dynatrace below the dashboard is very good compared to other monitoring tools."

"Some of the main benefits are being able to quickly identify when transactions start to slow or run into issues, or hiccups if you will."

"You get a good insight into what is going on inside your code."

"PurePath lets us see the steps of a transaction and the time of each one, then we can know exactly what happened in what time."

"Once you are trained on the solution, it's easy to navigate. It's got very good documentation and training offerings."

"Support is very transparent in issues, what they need to do, and how they need to fix certain issues and problems."

Cons

"They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI."

"In the next release, I would like to see some new reports and more tiles on the Dashboard."

"The extending of Dynatrace with plugins can be better."

"Current issue is adding a new resource or removing an old resource. It would be helpful if we could include group distribution email IDs for alerting."

"The initial setup was challenging for us. However, it was complex until you grasped the nuances of the product and the building blocks."

"The integration of the tools is getting there. It is still not there yet, because we still have to get a lot of tools to put together."

"The AppMon product hasn't been historically as scalable."

"We have a couple of one page apps that it has a problem with because it doesn't call to the server all the time. I believe part of that is taken care of in the next version."

"There continues to be some opportunity to expose the infrastructure from a broader reporting standpoint. Overall, the opportunity is in the reporting capability and the ability to more flexibly expose or pivot the data for deeper analysis. Oftentimes, the solution is good at looking narrowly at information, but when you want to broaden that perspective, that's where the challenges come in. At this point, it requires the export of data to external systems to do this."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"We have not fully been able to get the full value out of the product. It is expensive compared to other things that we have had in the past. Paying that much and not being able to get the full return on the product is a downgrade. "

"There is time savings. People's times have been cut in half using this solution because we were previously doing a lot of that manual work. Now, it's a lot more automated, and the data is just there."

"The price could be improved."

"From what I have heard in the company, Dynatrace is expensive."

"I would like to see them improve on their licensing and the cost. It's been a challenge for us because the way they have it broken out right now, you have to buy it by units. It's hard for us to know where to put those units because our company is broken up into all these different business units, so it's been challenging in that sense. I just would like to see them improve that model a little bit."

"Decodes on less used/popular protocols are available, but they should be included. Additional investment should not be required."

"The only limitation with scaling to cloud-native environments is licensing. It all depends on how many DEM units you're willing to license. The more of DEM units that you purchase, the more user data you can collect."

"We asked for a three-year license, and the price was quite good."
