"The most valuable function is the ability to replay a customer session."
"UEM (RUM): User Experience Management (real user monitoring) puts you in "user's seat" and gives you insight into how they experience the application. Often, this gives a totally different view than just watching the backend calls."
"It helps our organization identify potential problems by doing thorough analysis of systems which integrate with one another."
"The most valuable feature the solution offers right now is the PurePath. When we see a web request, and something failing, we can drill down using PurePath."

"We have been using it to find bugs in our production environment."
"With the latest version, the AI engine highlights the root causes automatically."
"The most valuable features are ease of deployment, UI, and collected data. Its deployment is really easy. In just a few hours, you can have a very good outcome, and you can see everything, which is very valuable. It collects a good amount of data."
"There are certain aspects of the configuration that could be simplified a bit."
"I would like to know if classes and methods selected in "Method Sensor Rules" were changed in the applications, and not depend on the developers to warn us."
"The licensing part is complicated or not transparent. It is very difficult to assess the number of licenses for a prospect. You have to do a PoC, and calculating the number of licenses for two years or three years is sometimes very difficult. It also depends on each case. There are multiple types of licenses. Sometimes, you need only one of them, and sometimes, you need all of them. This is an area for improvement."
"To improve in Dynatrace the log analytics, this is the first thing that has to be enabled."
"Because we are financial, there are certain things that we cannot put on the cloud. However, that is a given fact, not only for us. It is a given fact for any financial company because of PCI compliance. Because of PCI compliance, companies don't take the risk of putting data in the cloud."
"Richer, deeper partner channel: It needs to expand and deepen the business use cases, where their solutions can help."
"There are lots of features to share information, but we need to learn to leverage that, both on the web browser and on the mobile app."
"I find it is very difficult to train someone in using this application. As amazing as it can be, the learning curve is extensive."
"We have a load testing team, they completely rely on the reporting for analyzing the data. They should have a template to create a report and they should have something to auto-deliver the report into your email box."
