Room For Improvement

DataRobot users seek integration with AI tools, improved performance, better support, pricing, and enhanced UI for customization.
Dynatrace needs improved UI/UX, clearer pricing, better customization, and enhanced automation with unified data and deeper integrations.
If DataRobot also adds those data transformation capabilities, then it will be an end-to-end tool and the customer will not have to procure many tools for doing the ingestion and transformation process.
Advisory Solutions Architect at Dell Technologies
DataRobot is a UI-based tool, which means it cannot provide all the features I might manually implement through notebooks or Python.
Staff Specialist Data Scientist at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
There is a lack of transparency in the models; sometimes it feels like a black box.

Setup Cost

Opinions on DataRobot's $65,000 pricing vary; some find it competitive, while others see it as too costly.
Dynatrace is costly but valued for features; pricing complexity challenges budgeting; discounts possible for large deployments or long-term contracts.
The setup cost was minimal because it's cloud-hosted, eliminating the need for heavy on-premises infrastructure, allowing us to start using it immediately after purchase.
Senior Data Reporting Analyst at University of Bradford
Dynatrace is known to be costly, which delayed its integration into our system.
System Administrator at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
If setting up in a large scale environment, it is overwhelming because it is expensive.
senior DevOps engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
The cost can be controlled from our side, and it is very transparent with Dynatrace regarding DPS and licensing.

Featured Reviews

Naqash Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Data Reporting Analyst at University of Bradford
Automation has improved efficiency and decision-making while big data handling and transparency still need work
Aside from the many advantages of DataRobot, I believe there are areas that could be improved based on my experience. There is a lack of transparency in the models; sometimes it feels like a black box. For example, when I uploaded a large data set of about two gigabytes for processing, the time taken was slower than expected. Additionally, the handling of bigger data sets could be better, as it performs extremely well with smaller datasets but can lag with larger ones. The integration with some other tools used in our organization can also be challenging, and more flexibility for custom pre-processing and advanced model tuning would be beneficial. In terms of support and documentation, I believe improvements are needed. For instance, the response time from DataRobot could be quicker, which would be appreciated when we need assistance. The documentation is generally sufficient, but it can be lengthy and could use more real-world examples and step-by-step tutorials for better clarity. Lastly, creating a client community where users can share experiences and solutions might enhance the overall value and learning curve.

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.
