We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and Grafana Loki based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We are able to drill down and detect what the problems are; providing high-quality performance monitoring."
"Understanding how the user was being targeted by the application as well as knowing their behavior using those applications."
"Automatic instrumentation of new services and technology without the need to install specific agents or modules."
"The most valuable feature is the workflow, which helps you to easily have an overview of the infrastructure that you are analyzing, without having worked with it previously."
"This solution is perfectly stable. The main feature with this solution is that you do not need to do a lot stuff. Everything is being done by the tool itself. Everything is in there for you. There is nothing much needed from your resources; it is all in there."
"We can report and monitor on specific use cases which could not be monitored with SAP or other tooling."
"Daily metrics which us analyze the page composition and the corresponding performance metrics so we can quickly and easily determine when something has changed, to aid in root cause analysis."
"The deployment itself is very easy and straightforward."
"I appreciate the capability to process logs from microservices and seamlessly integrate them into Grafana."
"The log collection feature is good and the solution is easily understandable. v"
"The most valuable feature is the capability to set up alerts, which becomes necessary when we need to receive notifications for specific events."
"Loki also utilizes the same service discovery mechanism as used by Prometheus. So, whatever labeled metadata you see in Prometheus, you have the exact same metadata in the Loki system. Given this level of intricacy and the attempt to address these challenges, I firmly believe that Loki deserves praise for the work."
"We are using Grafana Loki as a database for real-time metrics."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is an open-source tool that is stable and flexible."
"The most valuable feature of Grafana Loki is the dashboards which are really simple to create."
"The tool can be used in multi-cluster environments."
"It does not have mature enough dashboards."
"The solution is a bit pricey."
"It would help if Dynatrace allowed more features that work with metrics like Grafana or New Relic."
"One thing that I would like to see is for companies like us - large AppMon customers that have a lot of presence in AppMon, a lot of manually configured things and customizations - would be something that would help us be able to make that journey more easily, the transition from to AppMon to Dynatrace."
"They could have a better user interface, better automation, better support for cloud-based, and SaaS applications."
"The web version of the client interface needs more features that are in the Java-based thick client."
"We would like to see: * More Integration with cloud services * Simplified licensing * Single pane of glass view * Simplified reporting I* ntegration with ServiceNow and PagerDuty"
"Make it easier to define applications. E.g., provide an API for applications defined by REST services."
"The solution has shortcomings regarding security monitoring-oriented features that need improvement."
"The Docker container partition feature needs improvement as they do not reuse the space and goes into a pending state."
"The correlation of requests is not simple in Grafana Loki and can be improved."
"In Grafana Loki, the creation of metrics is not so easy, making it an area that could be made easier."
"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."
"Visualization-wise, Grafana Loki's dashboard looks a little outdated compared to other open-source visualization tools like Chronograf."
"The solution's scalability depends on the team managing the Grafana instance."
