Improves our application at the code level because of its different performance metrics
They should provide all the information of the NetDiagnostics tool details on the Internet. Or, it will be good if they could upload the configuration and monitoring feature detail videos on YouTube . REST API should be supported from the UI. As of now, it is supported from the CLI . They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI. In next release, I would like to see the application level monitor supported in some way.
Anand_Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a comprehensive view by integrating with other monitoring systems
There may be an issue since there are many tools like Splunk involved in network monitoring. From an IP perspective, Dynatrace is performing well. If they want to develop in network monitoring, they can, as it's part of their product line. It's not rocketry, so they can accomplish it. If I, as an SI, look at it from an enterprise perspective, considering the cost from the client, I prefer not to go with multiple systems, as they don't provide a complete 360-degree view. They need to improve on claims about being an enterprise system. The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its end-to-end dashboard provides information on all the integration callouts happening on the server side."
"OneAgent, the new platform of Dynatrace, it is called artificial intelligence (AI), so basically that artificial intelligence correlates multiple infrastructure competence transactions services and application processes. It is one of the most important features, so when there is a fire break, you do not have to go multiple hops to go look where exactly the issue is."
"Easy to install and start using it."
"Capability to focus on root cause problems."
"We are able to prevent the major downtimes by proactive monitoring alerts."
"The most valuable feature is the 360-degree view for monitoring, infrastructure, and application worlds."
"The memory dumps, the tracing, and PurePath. All the tracing that you can do with the tool is, for us, our life. It's our daily job and it saves us a lot of time looking for performance issues."
"It has helped us improve the performance of many of our applications."
"The ability to take each individual request and dive in to inspect what methods and calls are being made is extremely helpful."
 

Cons

"They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI."
"There were a number of marketing promises that were made, which we do not see it in the tool yet. ​"
"Need better mapping to true business service rather than purely technical monitoring."
"Some of the APIs and integrations are a bit tougher than others to integrate."
"I would like to see more features from the desktop client included in the web client."
"If you want to see a month's data, it keeps on spinning. Here is an improvement which needs to happen, which is the case with all applications or tools. There is a lot of data, and either we have to change the way we are logging or the application needs to be enhanced."
"​We are waiting on the new features to see how they perform."
"Every time we spin up an EC2 instance, we have to slap an agent on it and that is more work. So, if it could go agentless, that would be great."
"It needs container log monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is not cheap."
"I have not been able to observe more than 1% overhead, despite Dynatrace saying that it can be slightly higher in some situations."
"Product pricing can seem a little over complex, however this is minor and does not detract from the benefits of the solution."
"The price range is quite high."
"We found a tool that can be utilized by testing, DevOps, marketing, software engineering, and monitoring. Before, we always had everybody doing their own thing. Now, everybody's utilizing one tool, which is huge. That is a huge savings."
"There is a license issue where if we increase the memory we have to up the licenses. I was unaware of that going in. I thought it was scalable without all the paperwork behind the scenes. ​​"
"​I would recommend doing a PoC."
"The product is pricey, but it is feature-rich, which is why we probably haven't looked away from it."
