We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and Azure Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Dynatrace is a better option than Azure Monitor, as it offers more advanced monitoring features such as real user tracking, AIOps automation, Kubernetes module, and session replay, along with a user-friendly interface, good AI capabilities, and easy deployment. In contrast, Azure Monitor is easy to set up and maintain but lacks visualization and integration with third-party services, and needs more out-of-the-box functionalities and artificial intelligence for event correlation. Dynatrace also provides better ROI through cost savings from automation and decreased mean time to identification and repair.
