Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the solutions overall performance. It is very efficient and accurate for our usage."
"Enables dynamic injections from within the product which is great."
"It is very stable and reliable."
"Being able to get down to the individual code level to see where transactions are taking time. It has helped troubleshoot issues immensely and other tools can't provide this."
"Everybody can show charts and metrics, but Dynatrace’s infographics are amazing. The dashboarding is simply best in class."
"We spend less time investing in problems. We can spend more time on developing new projects."
"The solution offers a better overview of applications. It offers end-to-end monitoring, and the user experience is real."
"Dynatrace alerts are based off of deviations from baseline metrics, which it is constantly collecting."
"Dynatrace AppMon has allowed a deep dive review of performance problems in near real-time for our primary external website and related web apps and web services."
"Support was very quick to help us identify a problem and fix it immediately"
"The end-to-end distributor tracing connectivity isn't there."
"In the next release, I would like to see the possibility of sharing the metric from this solution with other solutions."
"One thing that would help it tighter integration with DCRUM. It's somewhat difficult to drill down and see everything, but I think that's in the future versions. We just haven't seen that yet."
"Whenever there is a new version the UI changes, it makes it hard to use, because we are accustomed to the old one."
"I do know that for the size of our organization, we're talking thousands of agents and hundreds of applications, it does get to the point where the servers themselves that house Dynatrace are at a point where, in some cases, they are just too big for one machine, since you have to have an entire application ecosystem all funnel into a single system."
"The problem evaluation feature is an awesome idea, but bit difficult to pick up initially."
"I'd like to see the UI a bit more polished. For example, I saw a demo of the dashboards here at the Perform 2018 conference. There was a table of these widgets, but they're not sorted alphabetically and there's, like, 50 of them. So if you want to find your widgets, you're of scrolling up and down. So small features, being able to search for widgets, that things are more categorized; just a bit more focused on the user experience."
"Dynatrace must reduce the required resources for on-premise, because they are too high."
"The new Managed Edition is too complex. I feel like a fish out of water."
"If there was something that could be done at a local developer's station, something like, "Hey, here's a hint, this thing looks like it might not be optimized," or the like. I think more development features, to hedge that performance would be good."
