We performed a comparison between Avantra 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 of Avantra is automation. The reduction of manual work and having them automated is one of the top reasons why I would use it."
"You can customize alerts based on need."
"It's very easy to manage and use."
"I would rate the technical support very well. They work with the inside their development teams to get us the best answer, as much as possible."
"I think the design is pretty scalable. It's pretty easy to add additional nodes if we need to. Also, it's easy to migrate changes from one environment to another."
"You can see every step a transaction goes through, which servers it hits, and what technology it uses."
"We have improved performance by 50% and determined conflicts in the application to eliminate errors."
"It can hook on at the code level, then tell me all the details that I need."
"Dynatrace helps us to improve overall performance and allows us to detect the root cause of an outbreak on our systems."
"Metrics for CPU, memory, network, and disk. It provides extensive end-user, application, and infrastructure platform and technology support, including mobile, web browser, Java, .NET, PHP, servers, networks, and mainframe."
"Dynatrace has multiple features that I need, but I love that you can analyze traffic, including any bottlenecks. I also find the tool user-friendly and has an easy-to-navigate interface."
"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."
"A tutorial could be embedded in the system as it is hard for a beginner to start using Dynatrace straight away."
"Nginx monitoring service did not work out-of-the-box, so we had to tinker with it for quite some time."
"The AppMon 6.5 is problematic in configuring. It is little finicky. When we configured the JVM, it did not work."
"If Dynatrace is capturing everything in your application, it has to "sense" that information, and that sensing needs sensors which we have to include in our applications. The more you apply sensors - the more details you want - the more you have to increase the level of sensing. If I increase the level of sensing, my application's performance goes down, because something is there that is, again and again, checking each and every thing in the application. So that load on the applications increases. So, many times my applications used to crash because Dynatrace was working on them. We had to remove some sensing; either we had to reduce the sensing or we had to remove Dynatrace immediately."
"So far, we have not achieved the benefit of preventing issues."
"Setting up the thresholds and alerting, it is complicated to understand their use cases."
"You have got cloning at one level, but it would be nice to have cloning at deeper levels. Or, as you are doing the cloning, it would be nice if you could select different options. Then, you are not having to sit there and build dashboards, and spending a lot of time in the cloning area."
"The dashboard tool needs to be improved. We need more options, because the look and feel is too old-fashioned."
