Featured Reviews

Anand_Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a comprehensive view by integrating with other monitoring systems
There may be an issue since there are many tools like Splunk involved in network monitoring. From an IP perspective, Dynatrace is performing well. If they want to develop in network monitoring, they can, as it's part of their product line. It's not rocketry, so they can accomplish it. If I, as an SI, look at it from an enterprise perspective, considering the cost from the client, I prefer not to go with multiple systems, as they don't provide a complete 360-degree view. They need to improve on claims about being an enterprise system. The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.
Jose Ramon Crespo - PeerSpot reviewer
Utilize artificial intelligence for faster issue response and seamless ITSM integration
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features. These capabilities help us gather more information and analyze it faster, leading to better responses to issues. The tool is also excellent at integrating with ITSM services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Quick Fault Domain Isolations: When people are having a problem, understanding where to look."
"It is easy to see what areas you want to alert on and catch.​"
"PurePath is one of the best features."
"We're able to tell them which calls, which methods, which interface were the problem."
"Mean time to root cause analysis decreased drastically."
"Provides one consolidated view on application performance."
"Dynatrace's new AI stuff really out shines its competitors. ​"
"We found Dynatrace is a robust tool which provides pretty good monitoring for a PCF environment"
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."
"The ability to see what the end user response is, so I can get a better understanding of what the end user is seeing when they connect to the Citrix servers."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"User session details"
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
 

Cons

"The one thing people really liked that we can do in AppMon is executive dashboards and, until recently, you couldn't even create the business transactions you need for the data at the back-end of those dashboards. But if I had to ask for one thing it would be: In the new platform, give me the ability to do dashboarding in the way it's done in AppMon, and I think that would bridge a lot of the missing pieces. If I could do the same type of executive dashboards on the walls, they would be happy."
"It needs improvement with proprietary protocols for the DC RUM part."
"Log analytics in the classic synthetic and RUM tools would be a great addition."
"The products or company go through a rebrand/renaming about once a year, which creates some confusion with our customers."
"A tutorial could be embedded in the system as it is hard for a beginner to start using Dynatrace straight away."
"It is not clear what are our long-term strategy should be to upgrade (Appmon vs Dynatrace)."
"I would like a testing module focused on quality gates."
"They need to develop how to capture the JDBC and MBeans metrics."
"Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"In terms of areas for improvement in eG Enterprise, we are now moving most of our services to the OpenShift platform, and we need a way to monitor even containerized services or any service deployed on OpenShift, but that feature is still not available in eG Enterprise, so it's not good enough for us."
"The integration must be improved."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Product pricing can seem a little over complex, however this is minor and does not detract from the benefits of the solution."
"We purchased a subscription for one year and it is an expensive solution for a large enterprise like ours."
"Dynatrace is usually paid on a yearly basis."
"Licensing is very interesting, as you pay only for what is being monitored. A lot of things are given away for no additional cost. If you have a great IT consolidation, it will be pretty cheap. If you have a lot of servers, it will be heavier."
"Time to value was surprisingly fast."
"Consider volume because that is where you will get the most benefit. Doing a point solution is not cost-effective."
"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."
"We asked for a three-year license, and the price was quite good."
"You may get some monitoring products with certain licensing you may own. Some of these can take ages to configure and setup, along with needing a license to drive the software."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"It is not expensive."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"The product is very cheap."
"They gave us a good price, when they were found out we were looking at other products because their price was very high. We were looking at another solution, then we came back to them was because they brought the price down. We selected them for three years."
