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.
MO
Helpful dashboard, and the ElasticSearch feature helps to identify problematic components
Savision continuously develops new modules to allow further integration, so the only item would continue with this effort to allow more-and-more systems to integrate into this platform. Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion.
MM
Monitors traffic, analyzes flows, tracks packets, and measures bandwidth across our network
We use TruView primarily for network performance analysis and monitoring. It helps us track traffic, flows, packets, and bandwidth to understand our network's condition and detect any anomalies or attacks. However, the product's age limits its advanced features for performance analysis. The main advantage lies in its low cost and reliable functionality, as we have a permanent license and do not require support. Real-time monitoring in TruView is somewhat limited, as there is a delay of about five minutes in data updates, making it less effective for immediate insights.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We know exactly which line, which method, and which program needs fixing, so we directly go to the right developer and the guy comes in fixes it."
"Helps us in understanding what elements on the page contribute to load time and the primary ​areas to focus on for improvement."
"The web dashboards are quite useful, good looking, and easy to use."
"The ability to take each individual request and dive in to inspect what methods and calls are being made is extremely helpful."
"The PurePath stuff for deep dive analysis on problems. That is massive as far as having a benefit."
"Dynatrace has designed its agents to capture limited stack traces for each transaction executed."
"It has given visibility to how an end user utilizes and experiences our service offerings."
"The real-time monitoring, which we are getting, is amazing."
"This helps to centralize multiple monitoring solutions and streamline integration into ITSM."
"The most valuable feature for us was the ability to monitor sites and get a nice overview of all the data in a single view."

Cons

"It is not clear what are our long-term strategy should be to upgrade (Appmon vs Dynatrace)."
"Its needs to focus more on open source areas, like Apache umbrella products and availability motioning areas."
"We need extended support for some of the agents, the one-agent technologies under Managed. We've got some old legacy platforms that don't have one-agent support yet."
"I think scalability is what we're struggling with. I would say it's okay, but there's a little bit of room for improvement."
"I would like to see the ability to pull more user-friendly reports."
"Session export for offline analysis, like it was in AppMon, would be also nice."
"There is another challenge, which is in case of the Managed solution. In our old solution we could simply export the data as session data, and that would be imported and seen. Now, if we are using the Managed solution, then giving someone access to that solution is a challenge. We can handle it, but it's different than taking screenshots and saving that information the way we used to. The copy/paste features that were there in old application - because it was a fat app - were nice, compared to browser-based app, because you cannot really use those features anymore."
"Enterprise application monitoring for synthetic, as is, only captures http/https transactions."
"Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion."
"One area that could be improved is the reporting features. In the version transformation from ten to eleven, the platform changed from a Windows-based platform to a Linux-based platform. As a result, the previous reporting feature using Crystal Reports was no longer available. Instead, we had to generate PDF dashboard reports, which were not as flexible."
"We have faced delays in data retrieval and the lack of support due to the product being out of service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace is excellent."
"There is time savings. People's times have been cut in half using this solution because we were previously doing a lot of that manual work. Now, it's a lot more automated, and the data is just there."
"Always gives good ROI and total cost of ownership."
"Dynatrace is an expensive solution."
"Look at the product and the product features, not the price. Too often people look at the price and turn away. Dynatrace costs a little bit more than the other products I researched, but it can do far more.​"
"Everything is great, but the licensing could always be cheaper. With the every growing tool set of Ops teams, we find it harder to budget for tooling while ensuring we still have the proper insight into our applications."
"Pricing is based on the number of servers monitored, so for big applications, it is a bit expensive."
"Dynatrace is very good and it's provided a lot of information, it plays a positive role in making your application up to date in the market. If you want to monitor some applications only, it would be cheaper if you did cloud monitoring, but the price benefit depends on the use case."
