We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Dynatrace improved the resolution of problems by making it easier to find root causes and easier to predict bad system behaviour."
"Dynatrace Appmon provides us with the ability to proactively identify issues within our systems which could be impacting our customers."
"Real time monitoring helps reduce downtime. It saves a lot of time in determining what is the likely cause of an issue an end user may be experiencing."
"The PurePath feature enables you to see the path from click to database query."
"It is limitless when it comes down to being able to scale up or even scale back, if we need it to."
"Scalability is great. My biggest concern when we first put it in was the resources that it would take up, network traffic that it might create. But it seems perfectly scalable to any environment. Even on some of our heaviest use servers, it doesn't seem to affect anything."
"It is easy to see what areas you want to alert on and catch."
"Logs files for JVM transactions help to debug most of the failures."
"I like that SolarWinds NPM is a strong tool for monitoring network devices, switches, and routers. It's also a user-friendly tool. My team also likes how scalable it is."
"It's easy to understand, even if you are not too technical."
"The most valuable features of SolarWinds NPM are network performance monitoring and the overall benefit for servers."
"The most valuable features are language support and technical support."
"It is scalable."
"SolarWinds dashboard is very fast. Also, their interface is very good, it looks very user-friendly. The product allows me to see a summary of the network being monitored at a glance."
"Provides a good level of tools and covers essential components."
"The ability to customize the views and dashboards is nice. SolarWinds also allows us to access the data via the API. That's probably the feature I liked the most."
"I think at times AppMon has given some folks some headaches from a configuration standpoint, and a maintenance standpoint, but aside from that I don't think they've really had many headaches with it."
"I think Dynatrace needs improvements with respect to reporting; not just performance, but the business-level reports."
"One of the new features is "impacted users." I would like to see a rate of impacted users. For example, how long has the problem been going on: 100 users in five minutes. Does that mean that in 3 hours if we don't get this solved, we're impacting x number of people? Understanding the rate at which the problem is impacting people would be a cool feature."
"Make it easier to define applications. E.g., provide an API for applications defined by REST services."
"Sometimes it is hard to find the right setting for what you want to change."
"Cloud monitoring and reporting need improvement, as well as how to manipulate data and export it to share with business executives."
"The dashboarding process and creating measures and metrics, it needs to be made a little bit easier and more simplified. "
"There should be more visibility for network performance monitoring. There should be more metrics for things like 5G and IoT. That would be the main thing because they've moved more to mobile performance rather than fixed networks."
"I would like to have a Syslog server module for this product. That would make the solution better."
"The reporting is good, but I want it to be a little easier when creating custom reports. The reports are all on the website now, but it takes some know how to get some to display the way you would like."
"We'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
"GUI needs improvement with a more graphical dashboard."
"In terms of scalability, there is room for improvement. When you start monitoring, if you have so many interfaces and you're trying to monitor them at a faster interval, or a shorter interval, you get to a point where you need to request another node."
"Having more technical and support resources available in Saudi Arabia would be helpful."
"Consolidation of platforms would provide a smoother experience."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds added some technical protocols like Modbus. The market needs a simple solution for monitoring a technical device."

Hi @Michael Bruen ,
Probably, the below data has already been published on PeerSpot and can help you identify the difference.
Hope this helps. Please kindly share your views.
