Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It gives us visibility into the product and what we are doing operationally.""We obtained a better insight into our environment and consolidated a lot of our old apps into one app.""The most valuable features are the UEM (User Experience Monitoring) and the DEM (Digital Experience Management).""Great tool for deep diving into performance data and tracking issues through all the connected systems to better diagnose and pinpoint the real issues.""It is easy to see what areas you want to alert on and catch.​""Having OneAgent is the most valuable feature of Dyantrace, as well as the monitoring.""We can report and monitor on specific use cases which could not be monitored with SAP or other tooling.""It helps to show where the problem is and isolates the issue."

"The ability to stop/pause and capture logs when something happens is the most valuable feature.""Docker containers are completely supported, kind of like "first class citizens"."

More Sysdig Monitor Pros →

Cons
"Beginner video tutorials would really help.""PurePath exports was a great feature in AppMon, but it is sometimes missing in Dynatrace.""The dashboard tool needs to be improved. We need more options, because the look and feel is too old-fashioned.""They should make hooks into some of the more modern performance testing tools a little easier. I think that would go a long way.""​I would like to see single pane monitoring.""On the side of the end user experience, I would suggest adding a new service for analyzing the backtrace of users.""Hard to use for beginners, to setup and explore.""Training is required for all of the people who will be using it, and this should not be overlooked. I would even recommend nominating an SME in each of the three areas covered: user behaviour analysis, development, and infrastructure/operations support."

More Dynatrace Cons →

""Events" reporting (errors, crashes, etc.) is not clear at all in a Mesos environment (i.e., it's not clear what specific container is the one that went down). In a Docker Compose environment, it may be way better.""It is needs to automate the actions to take when an alert is triggered."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is based on the number of servers monitored, so for big applications, it is a bit expensive."
  • "Licensing is a bit complicated for Dynatrace, and pricing is dependent on how much your organization invests."
  • "We found an issue within the first week of ownership that has been costing us more than the entire license cost."
  • "Product pricing can seem a little over complex, however this is minor and does not detract from the benefits of the solution."
  • "Getting the first agents installed, getting information, and coverage in a initial set of systems can be done in hours and with a low cost entry point."
  • "Price (of the product) is a major concern for all the clients I work with."
  • "The licensing model is confusing in solutioning clients for the number of hosts needed to deploy."
  • "The product is superior to others, but it comes with a price tag that is often difficult to position back to clients."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Dynatrace is the only solution that provides answers to organizations based on deep insight into each user, transaction, and organization's environment.

    Barry P., a managing performance engineer at Medica Health Plans, writes, "With Dynatrace, we have synthetic checks and real-user monitoring of all of our websites, places where members and providers can interact with us over the web. We monitor the response times of those with Dynatrace, and it's all integrated into one place."

    A consultant at a tech service company notes, "A feature that's one of the highlights of Dynatrace is the AI. The second most valuable feature is OneAgent. Between infrastructures, applications, operating systems, you can deploy with just a single agent and can practically install and forget about it."

    Sysdig Monitor allows you to maximize the performance and availability of your cloud infrastructure, services, and applications. Built on open source, it provides immediate, deep visibility into rapidly changing container environments. You can resolve issues faster by using granular data derived from actual system calls enriched with cloud and Kubernetes context along with Prometheus metrics. Remove silos by unifying data across teams for hybrid and multi-cloud monitoring.
