We performed a comparison between Akamai mPulse and Dynatrace based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the solutions overall performance. It is very efficient and accurate for our usage."
"Enables dynamic injections from within the product which is great."
"The move valuable feature is the AI engine, which is amazing."
"Once you are trained on the solution, it's easy to navigate. It's got very good documentation and training offerings."
"The user experience allows us to be able to gauge customer experience and understand the performance impact of our platform."
"PurePaths help us drill down to the root cause of problems and escape the war room."
"Finally, we have 100% visibility on website performance, including third-party sources."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of application performance."
"The triaging is amazing. And at the same time, it provides depth, all the way to what kind of a method, what variables are inside those methods. Without getting too into the technical, the depth it gets to, pinpointing the problematic area - where exactly the problem is happening - is amazing."
"The stuff that's coming with the new pieces around the Dynatrace Managed SaaS implementation. The ease of implementation there is significant. We've spent a lot of time with AppMon and DC RUM - that's a lot of time to set up, configure. With Managed solution, you just drop it in and everything pretty much auto-instruments."
"In the next release, I would like to see the possibility of sharing the metric from this solution with other solutions."
"The end-to-end distributor tracing connectivity isn't there."
"When it comes to monitoring, we did the integration with VMware vCenter, and we were able to see some good stuff. The VMware vCenter integration was really great, but what we really missed was the integration with the network management stuff such as Cisco ACI. We wanted to see integration in that area, but it was not provided by Dynatrace. So, the main feature for us is integration with things like Cisco ACI. If they can bring that one in, with vCenter in there, it would be a total solution. It would be absolutely incomparable to anything else in the market."
"There continues to be some opportunity to expose the infrastructure from a broader reporting standpoint. Overall, the opportunity is in the reporting capability and the ability to more flexibly expose or pivot the data for deeper analysis. Oftentimes, the solution is good at looking narrowly at information, but when you want to broaden that perspective, that's where the challenges come in. At this point, it requires the export of data to external systems to do this."
"It would be nice to have a simplified monitoring feature for non-Java applications."
"Data streaming and dashboard loading can be improved to reduce dashboard latency."
"I think Dynatrace needs improvements with respect to reporting; not just performance, but the business-level reports."
"So far, we have not achieved the benefit of preventing issues."
"Dynatrace SaaS still lacks configuration API or command line which would allow moving configuration from one tenant to the other."
"Make it easier to define applications. E.g., provide an API for applications defined by REST services."
