Centralized monitoring has improved real-time issue tracking and reduced root cause analysis time
One of the best features that Coralogix offers is that it is integration friendly. I can seamlessly work with different cloud providers including AWS, Azure, and GCP. I can monitor Kubernetes or Docker platforms as well, and I can integrate with the DevOps chain including Jenkins and all infrastructure code, Terraform, or Ansible. Coralogix has positively impacted my organization by providing a centralized console to monitor the dashboard, giving me rich flexibility to see different sorts of data that is spread across the logs, metrics, or traces, which are the typical pillars of the observability tool. I have the interface where I can use the drag-and-drop feature, and I can create different types of charts. Mainly, I have the line charts and time series ones that I generally use in many use cases, gauges, tables, pie charts, or markdown widgets. These are the ones generically available, and I can switch between the visualization types. I am getting the underlying query in that and can import and export dashboards built upon the JSON format. I can have my own APIs integrated with my dashboards as well, such as with Terraform, which is useful for scaling across my environments. Regarding root cause analysis, mainly what I can do is correlate across all of the layers because the main logs that I work on are storage-related, including CIFS, NFS, SAN traffic, and the metrics including storage, throughput, or VM resource usage. Being able to view logs, metrics, or traces available, I get all of these in one place, and I can do root cause analysis much quicker.

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.

Pros

"Coralogix has positively impacted my organization by providing a centralized console to monitor the dashboard, giving me rich flexibility to see different sorts of data that is spread across the logs, metrics, or traces, which are the typical pillars of the observability tool."
"The most valuable feature of Coralogix is that it is a very good vendor for metrics."
"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."
"After implementing Coralogix, I noticed specific outcomes and improvements; whenever we try to fetch the data or check the monitoring logs, the spikes, the bars, and the graphs open very quickly, the latency is really very low, and it opens everything very fast, which makes a good impact on our organization."
"In my experience, the best feature Coralogix offers is that the dashboard is pretty good."
"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"For now, we have not experienced any stability issues."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"PurePath does deep dive analysis, has dashboards, and provides real user experience monitoring. It has allowed us to do analysis which was never possible before."
"The product allows us to build preferred/customized business transactions to track complex transactions. UEM (User Experience Monitoring) agents track user experience on webRequests. The advantage is that Dynatrace correlates the measures on the devices with those on the backend servers, giving us an end-to-end view of the transaction, from the user's phone deep into the backend servers."
"The way it shows a problem on the dashboard is pretty good."
"The tool allows us to see if it is an infrastructural related issue and see what is affected right away."
"Given the full-stack approach, you are able to view from the end user perspective, almost down to the bare metal."
"It has been doing a good job of alerting us to issues. It has been very helpful and effective at identifying how we can do things to make our infrastructure and application a little better."
"It seems to be very stable. We have not had any outages attributed to the product."
"Helps in managing capacity planning, services performance, and tuning database performance and optimizing queries."
 

Cons

"Coralogix's dashboard and search capabilities do not help me in any particular way."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."
"The documentation of the tool could be improved"
"The customizable dashboards haven't really helped with my company's efficiency at all, and I think there's room for improvement."
"The features we were missing in the past were related to the way we see our metrics and aggregate our data."
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
"Dynatrace can be improved by fine-tuning AI-based settings."
"The solution could improve by allowing more dashboards customization. This would allow us to monitor the metric better."
"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."
"Perhaps there is a FAQ which explains the metrics and how to interpret them, and I just haven't seen it. This would be beneficial in providing context to allow sharing the daily metrics reported within the company."
"Sometimes we get incidences during the US morning when we are not at the office. If I can get the benefit of a solution, which can alert us and solve itself. It is an automation thing where we do not want to wake up late at night and work on the application."
"Waiting for the session replay needs improvement."
"I find it is very difficult to train someone in using this application. As amazing as it can be, the learning curve is extensive."
"For an easy view of global and entity-specific configurations, a separate tile or pane aggregating these configurations should be implemented."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Currently, we are at a very minimal cost, which is around $400 per month since we have reduced our usage. Initially, we were at $900 per month."
"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."
"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."
"If there are no corporate requirements to run Dynatrace Managed (operating it yourself), I would definitely go for the size option. For small and medium-sized companies, the size option is probably the cheapest one. You don't need to look into operating it. You don't need to run hardware. It is pay as you go."
"I think the pricing is at a fair value for what it is."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is based on the number of servers monitored, so for big applications, it is a bit expensive."
"It is quite expensive for startups."
"Pricing is still too expensive."
"I feel the price is good for what the product does."
