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."

"I think with Dynatrace, it has helped to bring value to the business because now we can speak using the same language."

"The monitoring is very good."

"The initial setup was straightforward. The documentation and the university helped on Dynatrace."

"One of the things that really dazzled me was that the minute you installed it you started seeing something coming out of it, and just that makes it so much easier."

"The Recorder for setting up a synthetic monitor is a really great tool for non-technical staff to be able to set up a monitor."

"The most valuable features for us include problem detection, root cause identification, Smartscape, and integration with cloud infrastructure like AWS, Azure, GCP, etc."

"The big data analytics is the most powerful tool at my disposal, and with the analytics, I can review behaviors, trending issues, and resolve issues before they impact our clients."

"Its AI can tell us when something is wrong, including the impacts and the root cause."

Cons

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

"Dashboards are too clumsy, so it is good to keep less on dashboards and be easier to find the sections."

"I would like a testing module focused on quality gates."

"We would like to see an AI tool that detects issues with our site in real time."

"Support was very bad for Dynatrace, especially in the India region."

"The analytics feature provides us some information, but is limited for now. We want to see how we can consume the data further down and have analytics guys look at the datacenter information."

"Adding people to alerts has not been very intuitive. That's really my only negative feedback."

"The configuration of this solution is quite complex."

"I would like to see the same features as in the New Relic Insights in the dashboard. That is the only thing I want to see improved in Dynatrace."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I think the pricing is at a fair value for what it is."

"Everything is great, but the licensing could always be cheaper. With the every growing tool set of Ops teams, we find it harder to budget for tooling while ensuring we still have the proper insight into our applications."

"Getting the first agents installed, getting information, and coverage in a initial set of systems can be done in hours and with a low cost entry point."

"We found a tool that can be utilized by testing, DevOps, marketing, software engineering, and monitoring. Before, we always had everybody doing their own thing. Now, everybody's utilizing one tool, which is huge. That is a huge savings."

"It's expensive."

"Always gives good ROI and total cost of ownership."

"It is quite costly. Dynatrace was the most expensive, compared to the other products we looked at. But it was also a lot better. If you want value for your money, Dynatrace is the way to go."

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