We performed a comparison between Akamai mPulse and Dynatrace based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"Most importantly the back-end components. Most of the back-end components that the application connects to; nobody knows how our application interacts with, for example, the DataPower Gateway. But AppMon really provides that information for us. So finding the gaps is the key here."
"It helps DevOps find all its problems easily and analyzes performance problems."
"It gives more visibility into all the coding (the black screen). It gives a nice screen. You can see ups and downs. You can see where the traffic is getting impacted, more on the convergence side."
"We are able to see globally our end user response time tracing down to the user ID."
"We scaled from 300 agents to 800 agents in six months. There were no issues at the server level, which is pretty good."
"Integration with other tools in company using SNMP traps."
"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."
"Dynatrace alerts are based on deviations from the reference metrics which are constantly collected."
"In the next release, I would like to see the possibility of sharing the metric from this solution with other solutions."
"The end-to-end distributor tracing connectivity isn't there."
"I need more experience."
"The reporting could be better."
"Graphically, it is not good."
"If the user interface were made more intuitive then it would really benefit the product."
"The dashboard tool needs to be improved. We need more options, because the look and feel is too old-fashioned."
"We called support mostly about implementation issues. Docker was one which was early on and the support structure for Dynatrace. Typically, they were trying to help us figure out third-party applications and where the monitoring agent should be located."
"Needs more compatibility of platforms out-of-the-box."
"Configuring nodes and agents should be more like plug and play."
