"Dynatrace must reduce the required resources for on-premise, because they are too high."
"I would like a tool that can give me a one page view of all the problems and issues."
"It would be great to have Synthetic automatically retrieve what the customer sees on his side."
"Improvements in Synthetic monitoring would be great. Certain features of thick client, if available in the web interface, would also be a great improvement."
"Need better mapping to true business service rather than purely technical monitoring."
"There is a need for some change in the alerting types of the product. In short, a few changes in the alert area are needed due to minor shortcomings."
"The correlation of requests is not simple in Grafana Loki and can be improved."
"My main concern is the recommended production-grade setup. They suggest using tools like Tanka or Jsonnet. They should simplify the process to increase adoption."

"The product must improve its UI."
"In Grafana Loki, the creation of metrics is not so easy, making it an area that could be made easier."
