Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The move valuable feature is the AI engine, which is amazing.""Dynatrace has great training available. It is easy for everybody to use. Anybody can go out to YouTube, watch a video, and figure out how to use the piece ​that they need.""The Davis artificial intelligence built-in program is valuable. It keeps all the information about the systems, connections, service calls, and requests in its database. It looks at response times and keeps everything in check with baseline figures. If anything goes outside of that baseline, it reports based on that. If the performance starts degrading, it reports on that. Before something breaks, it tells you that it is going to break, and that's the most useful feature of Dynatrace.""Dynatrace helped us with root cause analysis of poor performing components of our applications.""This tool has been essential for monitoring our systems, gathering all performance data, and helping to quickly resolve difficult problems affecting our customers ability to process their work through our systems.""We like the on-premises platform and the horizontal scalability.""Everybody can show charts and metrics, but Dynatrace’s infographics are amazing. The dashboarding is simply best in class.​""Transparency and visibility into application performance, errors, incidents, etc. helps to foster a collaborative environment."

"The flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs.""It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments.""The best feature is the highly flexible graphs.""Power packs.""One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards.""The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning.""Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product.""It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."

More ScienceLogic Pros →

Cons
"More visibility into Python processes.""Documentation could be improved. E.g., you don't know how to properly use Dynatrace because documentation is almost lacking behind the features being deployed.""If you have many distributed servers, you will need to install or migrate every agent. This can be a problem if you have too many, and it takes time.""We should be able to easily simplify both the charting and slicing-and-dicing of user metrics with cookies that contain customer/user information.""I have not had very positive experiences with tech support in the last year. I found them to be arrogant, rude, not solving my problems, and not interested in solving my problems.""We have a very stringent budget for an infrastructure solution. Maybe if they provided modules, a simple module with fewer features and a lower price, that would be very good.""It's not very scalable, we cannot add another server onto it.""One thing I'm missing and that is the JMX from the MBeans, it's missing completely."

More Dynatrace Cons →

"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier.""They should add CLI command modes​ and scripts for high performance.""ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient.""I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services.""They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers.""The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required.""Admins do not have direct access to the reporting.""One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is based on the number of servers monitored, so for big applications, it is a bit expensive."
  • "Licensing is a bit complicated for Dynatrace, and pricing is dependent on how much your organization invests."
  • "We found an issue within the first week of ownership that has been costing us more than the entire license cost."
  • "Product pricing can seem a little over complex, however this is minor and does not detract from the benefits of the solution."
  • "Getting the first agents installed, getting information, and coverage in a initial set of systems can be done in hours and with a low cost entry point."
  • "Price (of the product) is a major concern for all the clients I work with."
  • "The licensing model is confusing in solutioning clients for the number of hosts needed to deploy."
  • "The product is superior to others, but it comes with a price tag that is often difficult to position back to clients."
  • More Dynatrace Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing between the two is quiet large therefore you can save some money if you don't require to collect all info on each device."
  • "Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
  • "Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
  • "It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
  • "Its price could be lower, but for what you pay, you got a lot of value from its features and functionalities. Customers always want a discount or a cheaper solution."
  • "The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
  • "The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
  • "I'm not the best person to discuss pricing, but what I do know is that it's a use-and-go structure. You use this much storage and pay this much for it. That's how it is. Every time, we continue to add a large amount of data to the environment."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Dynatrace is the only solution that provides answers to organizations based on deep insight into each user, transaction, and organization's environment.

    Barry P., a managing performance engineer at Medica Health Plans, writes, "With Dynatrace, we have synthetic checks and real-user monitoring of all of our websites, places where members and providers can interact with us over the web. We monitor the response times of those with Dynatrace, and it's all integrated into one place."

    A consultant at a tech service company notes, "A feature that's one of the highlights of Dynatrace is the AI. The second most valuable feature is OneAgent. Between infrastructures, applications, operating systems, you can deploy with just a single agent and can practically install and forget about it."
