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."
"We use it for monitoring all the applications in our bank, and it works fantastically."
"The real-time monitoring, which we are getting, is amazing."
"Great for monitoring critical internal and public-facing applications."
"Dynatrace covers the important tiers and allows us to quickly find trends and root causes in all our critical application lifecycle steps (Ops, Dev, and Performance)."
"For stability, our customers have no complaints."
"This is a stable solution."
"We got to know which modules of my application are used more by the customers, as well as which modules of my application are very slow, and using this tool I got to know even before the customer told me that a particular module was not working, so when the alert came we resolved the issue proactively and the customer's satisfaction improved overall."
"Dynatrace is a good product."
 

Cons

"They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI."
"I would like to see an App store for plugins and extensions."
"At times customer service could be really good, but most of the times I thought that this is a huge area where a lot of improvement could be made."
"We have some issues with react user sessions."
"Dynatrace also has APIs, but they are unfriendly APIs. If they were friendly like Splunk or Sumo Logic had, we might integrate that same data on a single webpage, then start showing these internally."
"The dashboarding in Dynatrace is not very good. We have used other monitoring tools like AppDynamics. We are also using AppDynamics for some of our products. If I compare Dynatrace with those monitoring tools, the dashboarding is not as good. If I have to create a dashboard it takes me time, the experience is not that good."
"Regarding features, it would be good if there would be some features regarding app security."
"When integrating this solution with any third party applications, there is an additional cost to pay. This can make the solution very costly to use."
"I would like to see AppMon also integrated in the Dynatrace portal. There are certain features, which I am not saying are not there in Dynatrace, but I am used to in AppMon."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Dynatrace is an expensive solution."
"I think the pricing is at a fair value for what it is."
"We purchased a subscription for one year and it is an expensive solution for a large enterprise like ours."
"As compared to New Relic and other providers, it is more expensive, which is its biggest disadvantage. Its biggest advantage is its capability. It is more feature-rich."
"It's understandable to do a smaller scale initial evaluation. However, as you identify the product value, don't hesitant in your scope and scale to maximize the initial investment and your opportunity to do a bulk investment of the product."
"Consider volume because that is where you will get the most benefit. Doing a point solution is not cost-effective."
"Surprisingly, it is quite expensive. That is something that we could always see: Improved pricing and the overall construct on how do we use each license in regards to usage of the tool."
"The product is pricey, but it is feature-rich, which is why we probably haven't looked away from it."
