Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ​autodiscovery​ of service intercommunication has saved countless man hours and is dynamically updated when new services are added.""The ability to real-time monitor servers and databases without any major drain on application resources is invaluable.""For me the service workflow and the dashboards are the most valuable features, simply because I can know what’s going on in my infrastructure within five minutes, versus two hours.""Our development group has started using Dynatrace extensively. It helps them find bottlenecks caused by code.""We monitor end-to-end availability of the application and deep dive PurePath analysis of real user visits.""Helps us in understanding what elements on the page contribute to load time and the primary ​areas to focus on for improvement.""Daily metrics which us analyze the page composition and the corresponding performance metrics so we can quickly and easily determine when something has changed, to aid in root cause analysis.""Triggering gives us warning that system is getting slow and we need to nail down the issue soon, so it does not impact our business."

"The most valuable features of the Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE) are its simplicity and efficiency during the initial cluster creation phase.""We can add some add-ons and plugins to the product if we need to.""The solution is easy to manage. You can get everything in a single platform. It is also easy to work with Terraform as a code.""The product integrates well with our infrastructure.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The solution is embedded in the hypervisor and there are no deployment costs.""The technical support is excellent.""We can do a lot of provisioning."

Cons
"The user interface needs to be improved.""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.""Either use less system resources and be faster or use more resources to pre-compute the PurePath on recent X minutes of data""Need better mapping to true business service rather than purely technical monitoring.""They need better infrastructure monitoring. New Relic is beating them for infrastructure monitoring.""I would like to have the ability to share live data with selected third parties so that they can see how their product is performing for our company.""We ran into a problem where the Dynatrace JavaScript agent is returning errors, and it's very apparent that there's a problem. However, the customer support will ask us for seemingly unnecessary details instead of looking at our dashboard through their account to see what the problem is. They ask us for a lot of details not really related to solving the problem. As a result, we still have a few issues that were never resolved. They're not major issues, but they're kind of frustrating.""We have had some struggles with scaling. We were on AppMon, and AppMon has its own monolithic drawbacks."

More Dynatrace Cons →

"I have issues with the product's interoperability.""Areas for improvement in Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE) include upgrading management capabilities and enhancing the user interface for improved usability.""We need a backup of production clusters.""The product lacks some virtualization capabilities, making it an area for improvement where the solution can focus on providing users with more virtualization capabilities related to disk systems.""GUI lacks sufficient information to help with understanding the installation and process.""In the next release, I would like to have automatic dynamic scaling, both upscaling and downscaling.""I would like to have more nodes for availability and storage.""There have been challenges related to software bugs, especially regarding long-term licensing options and issues within our customer network."

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."
  • More Dynatrace Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The product's licenses are included in the software version deployed in our data center."
  • "I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • "I rate NKE's pricing a six out of ten."
  • "The platform is averagely priced. I rate the pricing as four out of ten."

    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."
