We performed a comparison between DX SaaS 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."Actionable insight is the most valuable feature."
"It supports numerous platforms."
"DX allows you to customize and gives you a high degree of control."
"Dynatrace provides visibility into the application and its performance from the user to back-end services."
"It has improved our critical incident response, exposing critical issues impacting the environment and our ability to respond to those events prior to client impact as well as resolving those events more quickly. We have use cases where we have studied a 70 percent improvement for response times in an occurring event as well as future reoccurrences being improved."
"It is very easy to create customized dashboards."
"The most valuable features are end user visibility, Smartscape, and the entire visibility of our data center, including SQL queries."
"We are not blind anymore with our digital services performance; no more fire fighting."
"This monitoring capability gives us the ability to measure the end-user experience."
"We are able to get insights into our systems, which previously took us weeks to be able to detect."
"Customers are looking at our site, every second, constantly. They're able to do that because, if for some reason it goes down, I can instantly get it back up, because I know what needs to be fixed. In the past, before having the tool, we were being notified by the brand, or the brand manager, "Hey, customers are complaining that our site is down." And then there was me, as a developer, trying to track down what was causing this issue. With Dynatrace, it's right there in front of me, it's a JavaScript error, or something I can narrow down."
"The ability to scale presents a challenge as the cost of handling vast amounts of data in the cloud must be taken into account."
"Old user interface and dashboards could be improved."
"DX SaaS is a latecomer to the APM market. Some things that are straightforward in Dynatrace are complicated in DX. For example, upgrading the agents is a seamless process in Dynatrace, but it's a pain in DX SaaS. You should be able to upgrade in the Application Command Center. However, it is not working correctly."
"Even if the engine can manage a huge amount of data, requests take time to succeed."
"PurePath exports was a great feature in AppMon, but it is sometimes missing in Dynatrace."
"The UX/UI needs improvement. It is not easy to learn."
"The container platform could include more value-added features."
"If the user interface were made more intuitive then it would really benefit the product."
"They could also, develop an observability platform where you could have the ability to inject events, locks, and traces."
"It is always requiring us to update the Dynatrace client."
"Our primary wish list for RFEs or feature requests are additional integration options with ticketing systems. Although, we are able to work around it, 'ticketing' is not a core function of the product."
