Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Scalability is outstanding. It won't tax our environment at all as it will scale sideways."
"We spend less time on troubleshooting issues since Dynatrace proactively informs us of an impending bottle neck."
"PurePaths help us drill down to the root cause of problems and escape the war room."
"The ability to take each individual request and dive in to inspect what methods and calls are being made is extremely helpful."
"The most valuable feature is capture of 100% of the traffic. Also, exposure to downstream services, that might not necessarily be new, to everybody who's using applications. It triggers them and captures them and it gives visibility to some pieces that might be forgotten or even obscured."
"PurePath does deep dive analysis, has dashboards, and provides real user experience monitoring. It has allowed us to do analysis which was never possible before."
"It is cleaner and more compact with good UX/UI."
"It severely reduces the time spent doing performance test cycles."
"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."
"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."
"Wire data analytics."
"This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."
"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."
"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."
"A useful addition for known issues would be the ability to automatically perform certain activities as a first attempt to resolve issues which are creating a problem."
"Sometimes we get incidences during the US morning when we are not at the office. If I can get the benefit of a solution, which can alert us and solve itself. It is an automation thing where we do not want to wake up late at night and work on the application."
"Under heavyweight, Dynatrace becomes slower when listing PurePaths."
"This solution could be improved with better compatibility with legacy applications."
"C language integration requires manual implementation through the SDK, which is rather difficult and time consuming."
"The solution could improve on integration, cloud services, and making the configuration less difficult."
"On the side of the end user experience, I would suggest adding a new service for analyzing the backtrace of users."
"I'd like to see the UI a bit more polished. For example, I saw a demo of the dashboards here at the Perform 2018 conference. There was a table of these widgets, but they're not sorted alphabetically and there's, like, 50 of them. So if you want to find your widgets, you're of scrolling up and down. So small features, being able to search for widgets, that things are more categorized; just a bit more focused on the user experience."
"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."
"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."
