Sentiment score
7.7
LogicMonitor improved cost savings, operational efficiencies, downtime, resource allocation, alert management, productivity, and customer satisfaction with advanced insights and tool consolidation.
ROI is hard to specify; however, incidents like impending ransomware attacks highlight its value, though those are exceptional events.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.1
Dynatrace's support is generally effective and proactive, though some users experience occasional slowdowns and delayed responsiveness.
Sentiment score
7.9
LogicMonitor's customer service is praised for fast responses, knowledgeable staff, 24/7 availability, and effective problem-solving, but varies by location.
Their support is very fast and effective.
They have a good reputation, and the support is commendable.
For Dynatrace tech support, we have a dedicated team here, which is easily reachable.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Dynatrace excels in scalability, efficiently managing large-scale environments, with users rating its capability nine out of ten.
Sentiment score
7.8
LogicMonitor scales efficiently for thousands of devices, offering automation, role-based access control, and seamless growth with minimal challenges.
If it's an enterprise, increasing the number of instances doesn’t pose problems.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Dynatrace is praised for high stability and reliability, with frequent updates and strong SaaS performance minimizing downtime.
Sentiment score
8.1
LogicMonitor is highly stable, with minimal downtime, strong alerting features, frequent updates, and high user satisfaction.
There have been no stability issues with Dynatrace.
Generally, all are stable at ninety-nine point nine nine percent, but if the underlying infrastructure is not deployed correctly, stability may be problematic.
 

Room For Improvement

Dynatrace needs UI improvements, user-friendliness, better alerts, streamlined integration, and enhanced reporting for improved user experience and support.
LogicMonitor users seek enhanced monitoring customization, automation, reporting, performance monitoring, and improved alarm, topology, dashboards, and email alert features.
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.
I'm specifically looking at AIOps and how we can monitor AIOps-related things, considering we have LLMs and all that stuff.
Dynatrace stands out when making comparisons with other tools.
 

Setup Cost

Dynatrace pricing is high but offers value with robust features, although licensing complexity influences total cost significantly.
LogicMonitor offers competitive pricing at $7.75 per device, with discounts, and justifies its cost through robust functionality.
Dynatrace is known to be costly, which delayed its integration into our system.
If I would ask you to rate price from 1 to 10, where 1 is cheap and 10 is expensive, how many points would you give to it?
 

Valuable Features

Dynatrace offers detailed monitoring with AI-driven insights, customizable dashboards, and seamless integration, enhancing incident response and performance analysis.
Dashboards provide interactive visualization, custom monitoring, robust reporting, and integration with alerts, Google Maps, NetFlow, and AI-driven anomaly detection.
The integration with Power BI for generating detailed reports is a standout feature.
I find the classic service analysis, service analysis, distribution tracing, and the technology stack that it shows most valuable about Dynatrace, along with the Scape View.
Graduation features offered by Dynatrace provide a single view and can connect with many other monitoring systems.

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.
Henry-Steinhauer - PeerSpot reviewer
They have an active community of users who are willing to share their experiences and how they have extended the solution to do unusual things.
I'm a learn-by-example person, so it would be nice to have a cookbook for enterprise management. They have a rich API process, but there aren't many examples of how to do enterprise-style work. It is peculiar about how to do it for one device, but not necessarily thousands. LogicMonitor can effortlessly pull data from one item at a time. I have yet to find an excellent way to get LogicMonitor to show me all the WAN devices and how they're doing in terms of capacity.
