Dynatrace Reviews

Our primary use use is to monitor apps in terms of performance and availability.  

We can analyse problems more quickly, and detecting problems becomes easier with Dynatrace.                               

PurePath: The transaction structure can be seen by any user.                                            

Under heavyweight, Dynatrace becomes slower when listing PurePaths. 

• It is now easier to install and start using it. Installation used to be complicated with AppMon.
• Also, the user tracking and session play are great.

• Autodiscovery of services and architecture 
• User tracking and session (with errors) recording and reproducing.

Searches should be faster. 

• Pricing is still too expensive.
• Their proof of concept is still a bit difficult.

It looks nice. The service discovery and user play are really surprising.

Use case monitoring of our shop floor systems. 

We use it for acceptance and production environments, which are SAP based.

We can report and monitor specific use cases which could not be monitored with SAP or other tooling. 

As of v.7.0, it is possible to use the web UI. Before that, it was too difficult using only a fat client

UEM can be used for user impact analysis and troubleshooting. We have applied this to prove that a specific issue originated from the back-end and was related to a specific user function.

Bring the interface to the same level as OneAgent. v.7.1 is a good improvement, but it has not been integrated into our environment yet.

One to three years.

We have all our infrastructure in the cloud. 

This tool helps us gather information from all hosts and services, then cross reference the information.

Although, we are still implementing it, we have some servers using Dynatrace. We have been using it to find bugs in our production environment.

The cloud integration, because it allows us to monitor serverless services as well as Docker containers, etc. 

I also like the "session replay".

They could improve their price ranges, as there is no option for startups or testing.

It has all the things an enterprise needs.

The primary use case is for application performance and analytics. We use it to monitor our on-prem Windows and Linux apps as well as our AWS and Azure cloud instances.

• Faster MTTR
• A proactive Ops team

We used to rely on multiple operations tools to monitor and obtain bits and pieces. Now, we have it all in a single pane of glass.

• Artificial intelligence
• Log analytics
• Being able to identify and correlate issues, and avoid them occurring in the future.

It needs certain UI changes to make going back to certain Windows easier. Certain windows open up in a different category with different set values and throw you off if you are not used to it.

We are using it in our AWS environment for monitoring health and application performance for roughly 400 instances running thousands of Docker containers.

• Improved visibility on performance and application issues.
• Automatic instrumentation of new services and technology without the need to install specific agents or modules.

• OneAgent
• AI-powered problem analysis
• Pre-configured alerts
• AWS integration
• API interface 

• SSO options are missing.
• JIRA integration should be enriched and more granular.
• Filters should have a “negative” option.

Our primary use case is performance improvements and understanding the customer struggle. Dynatrace gives us real-time data that we can use within the office to display data.

• Greater insight into the customer experience and front-end user experience. 
• Bespoke dashboards and reports which help our business to grow.

• Bespoke business transactions providing greater performance insight. 
• Adaptable business transactions which can accommodate new developments.

• Needs a greater meta data capture.
• Usability on the front-end for non-technical people. Although, it does prove great support and problem solving collaboration.

• Application monitoring
• Software performance issues
• Learning application functions
• Tracking issues

Provides more visibility into applications.                                                                     

• AI functions
• Problem visibility, etc.                                                                

• Provide even more details about problems.
• Needs a clearer view for Smartscape.
