Dynatrace Reviews

Database monitoring and server performance. Apart from that, error handling and log tracking are also cool features.

There are multiple servers, so to track each server performance is very tough. Dynatrace really did an awesome job to provide us a better solution.

Server performance, because our company has multiple servers. To track each server manually without an application is very hectic. Dynatrace solves the problem by graph to monitor it all instantly.

Dashboards are too clumsy, so it is good to keep less on dashboards and be easier to find the sections. 

Dynatrace is bit costly and not easily affordable.

Identifying and solving SQL queries that were affecting application performance.  Monitoring server and database performance.   

We had a client experience where a high number of simultaneous users were choking system performance which we were able to identify and fix.

The ability to real-time monitor servers and databases without any major drain on application resources is invaluable.  

No major request for additional features. 

Ability to better identify SDQ script errors would be helpful.

APM.

Real-time information allows us to proactively tackle an issue before it affects our clients.

The dashboard gives us a great overview.

The cost is somewhat high.

We have about 150 servers to be monitored and manual monitoring is a pain. We use Dynatrace to help our team in monitoring server health, CPU utilization, application errors.

Previously, the team had to do manual monitoring but now we have Dynatrace to alert the support team for immediate assistance.

Alerting mechanism and drill down to the error details using PurePaths.

I like the auto email alerting feature the most, as it is set up based on the application error or condition.

Current issue is adding a new resource or removing an old resource. It would be helpful if we could include group distribution email IDs for alerting.

Our primary use case is to monitor end-to-end availability of the application, performance of the transaction test-wise and step-wise, and deep dive PurePath analysis of real user visits. 

Dynatrace is an excellent APM solution. I have been working on products, like synthetic monitoring, user experience management, Keynote, mobile testing, etc. 

I found the way Dynatrace analysis engine analyses the data feed and presents it to the user from dashboarding and charting to out-of-the-box reports is very useful. 

Enterprise application monitoring for synthetic, as is, only captures http/https transactions. 

• Production application and environment health monitoring tool
• Dashboard to help present the statistics to management

Real time monitoring helps reduce downtime. It also helps to get a detailed trace of each transaction. It saves a lot of time in determining what is the likely cause of an issue that an end user may be experiencing.

Log files for JVM transactions help to debug most of the failures. It helps to detect application dependencies, and provides one consolidated view of application performance.

• Requires application knowledge
• Hard to use for beginners, to setup and explore
• DevOps plugin monitoring tools need improvement

Our first use case for Dynatrace was application analysis to find the source of a performance problem on a critical management application.

Through analysis of transactions and transaction flow, we clearly saw the path taken by our transactions, and identified through drill down and PurePaths the time consumed by each class and method. The bottleneck was identified and the problem corrected.

Dynatrace's power lies in its ability to inspect and chart transactions, and draw the PurePath tree. The parameters of the requests and methods can be selected to access the necessary information for efficient analysis.

Some technical architectures are based on an event mechanism operating via a publish/subscribe system. APM technology sometimes reaches its limits to go upstream. 

It should also be remembered that APM is often useful in production where problems are difficult to reproduce. You must be careful in using Dynatrace so that the overhead is limited.

Application performance problem triage and root cause investigations. Specific areas of value include providing insight on 100% of network transactions, an end-to-end user experience view, and the opportunity to support migrations to the cloud.

Speed to resolve problems, improve digital customer experiences, and full clarity of root causes independent of functional or system boundaries. Whether it is the server, database, network, or application, Dynatrace provides a consistent unambiguous view of performance. This saves time and money

Comprehensive suite of solutions that can address all aspects of applications from dev to ops.

Richer, deeper partner channel: It needs to expand and deepen the business use cases, where their solutions can help.
