Dynatrace Reviews

Whether you're a developer, IT operations expert, or business stakeholder, Dynatrace gives you everything you need to know on a single screen to execute your job well.

Users may need to devote a lot of time and energy to learning how to utilise Dynatrace, especially those who are new to observability or who have not previously used tools of a similar nature.

Dynatrace provides an integrated system for monitoring IT operations and performance bottlenecks in web and mobile applications, and the dashboard also provides a holistic view of real-time performance data. The best of Dynatrace is that it is automatic and intelligent that makes monitoring easier and saves staff time, as well as gives a good view of the work team, allowing always to detect problem areas immediately and implement the preventive treatment plan directly without delay. Dynatrace helps narrow down potential concerns. I appreciate the system of real-time problem notifications and automated monitoring of online or cloud-based programs, with proper tracking and monitoring of all processes.

To be able to customize Dynatrace to your specific needs, you'll need expert training.in addition, I think that the notification system needs to be improved so that it can better determine the urgency of a problem and whether or not it necessitates immediate attention or can wait until a later date.

We selected the Dynatrace APM product over ten years ago, and I have been using their synthetic product since 2008. I love the ability to find the root cause of a problem using these products. They are both really good tools that are wonderful for getting to the core of the issue.

I have used the original Dynatrace APM product and the Gomez Synthetic products for almost ten years. I absolutely cannot stand the way they change the menus around with the various releases. I used to be able to walk people through how to find things over the phone, but now it is almost impossible. These user design changes are not what a system administrator should be spending their time learning. I might as well select a new product that doesn't change so that I only have to learn one more additional system.

We have also lost features over the years that we have used, and the reports and maintenance window configuration have an awful time with time zones, even though they have drop-downs for each report. This was once a very dependable product that has lost its way in trying to add new features and alter the user experience.

Support has dropped off significantly as well. I used to be able to email or call support, now there is no option to email and when calling support they walk you through creating a case in their customer portal before even attempting to hear my question/problem. We also used to have weekly calls with our account manager to review problems and upcoming features. I have been transferred to a new account manager more times in the last few years than I have even spoken to them.

I like that it has great advanced observability, it's a highly automated preventative software, Davis is a great bot, it's open API, it has a very intuitive interface, it gives us great monitoring of our network, the monitoring is constant and intuitive, which can detect problems long before they become a serious problem, with this software we improve the user experience in applications, it is a really intuitive product.

Customer service is something that should be improved, since the response is not fast, when creating a ticket we do not receive a response on time or a great solution.

If anyone ask me to suggest a best APM tool , I will first tell them about Dynatrace. The best tool that I have used in IT industry for our regular day to day monitoring. Key features are below* Server / Pod health status* Application level transaction analysis and purepath* Customized metrics and business transactions* AI alert via Davis AI engine which identifies any issues proactively based on deviation in trend*Best monitoring tool for doing health checks for an enterprise which has N number of applications. Believe me you can do it using a very few dashboards and few alerts

Nothing to say as it even has the capability to get the customer experience. I would suggest getting the customer experience through a recording would be more helpful.

What I like most about dynatrace is how it uses artificial intelligence to provide you with comprehensive analytics about the performance of your infrastructure. Dynatrace is very important for our devops teams as it helps them in figuring out root cause analysis of problems arising from our apps. I also like its flexibility whereby you can deploy it on premise or use it as a software as a service. I like how powerful its automation is as it can monitor thousands of systems at a go.

You may require indepth and expansive training on its usage so as to optimize it usage. It is also pricey in comparison with similar monitoring software. It also has bugs from time to time which can give false alarms but their frequent updates try to solve this issues. Aside from that it is a powerful monitoring tool that has served us well.

It allows displaying graphics and data of great value for the adequacy and preventive correction of possible failures or errors. Dynatrace provides business and traffic data and information to help the organization make scalability decisions. It has enabled significant benefits to be gained from implementing a single set of tools to monitor applications.

For new users it is overwhelming how many features it offers, you need to incorporate better documentation to minimize your learning curve.

View Pure paths (transactions) from past so it is really the best tool to analyse the old production issues. Helps in displaying summary of what going on in application sever, for ex. DB hit ration. Helps identifying the bottlenecks in application efficiency.

Slow in initialisation. Takes time to display transactions. Need to improve more on error/exception handling information.

1. Its report on the incident is to the point and quite accurate.2. The Dynatrace AI is impressive in regards to assessing the impact on the app.3. They have some valuable features such as PurePath, which is it's patented distributed tracing and code-level analysis technology.4. All of the Dynatrace features can be accessed by a centralized hub.5. It's built to scale, it can perform automated monitoring of over 100000 hosts.

1. The hub can be quite complex to comprehend.2. It has a steep learning curve.3. The support for cloud-based environments lacks in some areas.4. It's quite expensive.5. It has fewer features that work with metrics as compared to other software of the same category.

The tool is amazing, very classy UX and UI and user friendly, The Links which take you to there documentation every now and then is very helpful for synthetic monitoring.I have used this tool for synthetic monitoring , HTTP Monitoring, and been using for production.

Haven't seen any disadvantages with the software

The best of this dynatrace is it has a customizable dashboard views which shows our application performance and code level insights. It has very big UI experience with large amount of the options to customize our dashboards as per project requirement.It shows the performance details of the various hosts services, applications in context from one environment to another. All big enterprise and medium level enterprise applications definitely prefer working with dynatrace as its best in over all performance monitoring tools.Another great feature of the dynatrace is rather than arranging the numerous reports manually as given by various other performance monitoring tools dynatrace has a special feature it learns entire application architecture automatically and uses AI(artificial intelligence) to correlate the data and provide you the insight saving your countless hours of the time

Dashboard UI can be much more better. As now now looking great but a more can be done.Facing few problems with performance test integration. come to memory is bit low this can also be improved and we are looking for the trial package in extending the days .

For any work system imbalance, Dynatrace is a complete and effective solution that automates and intelligently saves employees' time, covers all job levels, and gives a good view of all team members. In addition to providing easy-to-use tools and features for optimal tracking and analysis speed, Dynatrace's contribution is greatly appreciated. To ensure that all operations are performed to the acceptable quality standards, Dynatrace is an essential instrument for corporate sustainability. Dynatrace's artificial intelligence system can do a lot with it, since it calculates, analyzes, and fixes problems.

In general, I can't say enough good things about Dynatrace. It's a terrific tool, but it takes time and effort to develop the skills required to use it well. It annoys me that Dynatrace sometimes can take a long time to identify and analyze processes, which can disappoint you.

The best and loveable part of this application its been used in all the core business to track their growth and their performance. It has unified monitoring for business operations and development. Dynatrace Digital performance managament(DDPM) this system will autodiscover entire IT Ecosystem in minutes. Another advantage of the Dynatrace is we can get full insights into user expierence and business impact by which we can easily monitor and manage the application and cloud infrastructure as a result we can resolve application problems before our customers are impacted.Best performance management and analytical tools all the business prefer too.

There is nothing much least about this but still required some more additional features to development in the system and db calls ,GC and look up over scalability issues

One of the best APM tool, I have ever used. We can create custom dashboard in dynatrace and can monitor each and every server side matrices. Dyntarce help us to monitor CPU Utilization, Network Utilization, syteam health, Memory Footprint, Sql quey, exception, errors etc. I was able to find out many bottlenecks during the load testing of web application and its UI is also user friendly if you are a beginner, you can easily understand its architecture with available videos on internet.

I didn’t dislike anything but only few compnies are using it due to its cost, so cost might be the issue.

You get important insight into how things are working (or perhaps not working) with your internal infrastructure. The real time alerts and monitoring of our ecommerce sites were usually quite helpful, with some occasional exceptions

Every once in awhile you would receive a false alarm and end up wasting time trying to solve a problem which doesn't actually exist at the moment. Also, the rise in pricing might cause some to look for less expensive alternatives

You can monitor your appliction end to end checking every transaction in the system making easy to find problems, bottlenecks or code to improve easily.

Licensing mode. Usually due to GC restrictions you tend to use more jvms and as the software is licensed by jvm, the price rises a lot

Dynatrace gives a full visibility of the end user activity, network performance, system performance and code issue.

The flexibility it gives at appmon does not give the same on the web application of Dynatrace.

The best thing about this software is it allows the monitoring of performance and behaviour of the application. A developer can track what are the failures that occurred and where the application accessed from and by whom. We can add a dynatrace cookie to our application and we can access it either in appmon client or the one agent view where we can set up the monitors of what needs to be tracked. This can also be linked with openshift or kubernetes so that we get to know whether there is any pod restarts.

It requires digging into pure paths to find the information but once we set up the monitors in dashboard it makes it easy to monitor and track performance.

It is possibble to have very detailed metrics to get a deepdive analyze. Dynamic baseline thresholds provide adaptive alarm mechanism.

Very complex workstation which is no user friendly. Sometimes slow refresh of the pages.

It has so many key features, but AI is so important. It detects any changes and with some time it can detect what is a normal perfermance and when its not, representing this as an issue

It's an expensive software. It depends of how big is your infrastracture (CPUs or Memory allocated in the servers you want to monitor)

The dashboard looks nice

Everything else I wrote in my review.

In terms to monitor all servers,applications,hosts this is the best available tool now.
The AI based error tracking and reporting in highly impressive ,very easy to setup.

coming to my exp ,i felt lil tricky to create the dashboards ,the different types and usage with the queries.

This is very vast APM tool and very helpful to do RCA on any issues. It has AI capabilities for alerting system.

This is very expensive APM tool and require lot of infrastructure resources for hyper-scale environment.

Dynatrace APM captures end to end transaction and it pinpoint where the problem is.

Creating custom dashboard
Having all applications in one dashboard

Very good application performance monitoring software. Fast, efficient and easy to use.

I stopped using it due to switching to a somewhat different tool, which offered me somewhat better real-time monitoring
