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

"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."

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

"The alerting mechanism where you get millions of dependencies analyzed, in one alert or "problem" as Dynatrace calls it."

"We use Dynatrace for application monitoring in production and we use it in Huawei testing sites for analyzing the performance."

"We can report and monitor on specific use cases which could not be monitored with SAP or other tooling."

"Dynatrace has contributed to significant improvements such as reducing P1 tickets resolution time from four hours to under one hour and drastically cutting alert volumes from between two hundred to four hundred alerts per week down to approximately sixty to one hundred twenty."

"It simplifies a lot of the processes of performance tuning client systems before they go live."

"The stability is quite good, it's pretty advanced in comparison to what else is on the market, and it's quite reliable."

"The overall application monitoring ability to do alerts."

"Provides bespoke dashboards and reports which help our business to grow."

More Dynatrace pros

Cons

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

"Improve Dynatrace for the following industries: telco, eCommerce, and banking."

"Dynatrace could be improved by having a fully functional applications and infrastructure monitoring feature."

"The web version of the client interface needs more features that are in the Java-based thick client."

"I'd really like to see more dashboarding abilities. The ability to do workflows within dashboards, being able to start at a high level and click into it with custom dashboards. I think most of the time, we are creating our own custom dashboards, and I'd just like to see more ability with that."

"Getting the EM data, we have to open a browser."

"So far, we have not achieved the benefit of preventing issues."

"To improve in Dynatrace the log analytics, this is the first thing that has to be enabled."

"One significant complaint I have raised with Dynatrace as a consultant is the availability of raw data for logs. While this capability exists, it is quite costly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"A Dynatrace partner will always be willing to give you a trial. Go through the trial to see if there is a benefit for your company."

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

"Price (of the product) is a major concern for all the clients I work with."

"The cost is somewhat high."

"The solution has saved us money through the consolidation of tools. With a hybrid landscape, we had multiple tools. When we consolidated, we removed four or five other monitoring tools with one. For the last ROI calculation that I did, Dynatrace was saving us up to $500,000 per year."

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

"Its price is quite high. Although it is worth it, it would be better if its price is reduced. They base their prices around licensing. Their prices are based on agent licensing and consumption licensing. Both of these can be a bit cheaper, but if they are the best in the market, as I consider them to be, I assume that their prices will be higher. They are delivering the product for that price."
