We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Dynatrace is the preferred choice over Google Cloud's operations suite. It has more comprehensive features, better AI capabilities, and offers better visibility for network performance monitoring. Google Cloud's operations suite is user-friendly and scalable, but lacks certain metrics and tools for application logs and automation in the monitoring process.
"This solution has helped our organization on multiple occasions. The synthetic monitor came in particularly handy."
"We have been using it to find bugs in our production environment."
"I would give Dynatrace's technical support a 100% rating. I feel like whenever I call or send an email that I get the right person automatically. For the most difficult answers, the most I have to wait is about three days and the answers have been relevant."
"Dynatrace makes it so much easier to proactively solve problems before they become big headaches, and easily pinpoint the root cause of an issue."
"Dynatrace has the most features compared to other products we looked at."
"Real-time information allows us to proactively tackle an issue before it affects our clients."
"We are able to see globally our end user response time tracing down to the user ID."
"Integration within the CI/CD pipeline helps avoid problems in production by detecting application faults upfront."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its graphs - if I need any statistics, in Kubernetes or Kong level or VPN level, I can quickly get the reports."
"I like the monitoring feature."
"Our company has a corporate account for Google Cloud and so our systems and clusters integrate really well."
"The cloud login enables us to get our logs from the different platforms that we currently use."
"The most valuable feature is the multi-cloud integration, where there is support for both GCP and AWS."
"It's easy to use."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"Provides visibility into the performance uptime."

"Enterprise application monitoring for synthetic, as is, only captures http/https transactions."
"It is necessary to improve the integration with the product, Oracle Siebel."
"The pricing of the product could be improved."
"So far, we have not achieved the benefit of preventing issues."
"I believe that something related to IoT devices should be improved."
"We would like to see more dashboarding capabilities and the ability to export custom reports."
"Training is required for all of the people who will be using it, and this should not be overlooked. I would even recommend nominating an SME in each of the three areas covered: user behaviour analysis, development, and infrastructure/operations support."
"Getting the EM data, we have to open a browser. Generally, one of the asks from our clients or our engineering team is to change this."
"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace."
"It could be more stable."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"It could be even more automated."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
