"You get a good insight into what is going on inside your code."
"We got firsthand RCA as soon as we finished implementation."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad."

"When integrating this solution with any third party applications, there is an additional cost to pay. This can make the solution very costly to use."

"From the Dynatrace SaaS platform, they talk about the APIs. The approach they take is, "We create the APIs, you use them however you want." I like it, that gives us flexibility. But at the same time, if your company does not have a huge number of APM specialists, or it does not have the time and resources available to spend on these kind of technology developments, it would be helpful if there were out-of-the-box solutions available from the platform. I would certainly consider that, because that would make us go to market much faster, rather than redeveloping our own solutions based on those APIs."

"The one thing I am really missing is the final Azure dashboard."
"In AppMon, the performance could be improved. That is the one thing I am most interested in."

"It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices"
"Once I fully use the tool 100%, I'm sure I would have something to critique, however, for now, I'm happy with it."
"I would like the product to offer more agility."
"They only offer synthetic requests."
"Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products."
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
"The tool does not provide features for application-level monitoring."
"It would be nice if the solution covered other areas like server monitoring."
