We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and Grafana Loki based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The best feature of the product for me is the real troubleshooting capability through the PurePath analysis."
"The initial setup was straightforward. The documentation and the university helped on Dynatrace."
"It is our main SaaS monitoring and alerting solution, and it allows us to identify many problems that we would miss if we did not have a comprehensive monitoring solution."
"Helps us in understanding what elements on the page contribute to load time and the primary areas to focus on for improvement."
"Helps in managing capacity planning, services performance, and tuning database performance and optimizing queries."
"It alerts us, or can detect, potential problems which are building up."
"Our main use is to monitor our applications for any issues that might arise and use the data to assure that our performance trending is headed in the right direction."
"We used to rely on multiple operations tools to monitor and obtain bits and pieces. Now, we have it all in a single pane of glass."
"We are using Grafana Loki as a database for real-time metrics."
"The best feature of Grafana Loki is that it integrates well with our other tool."
"The most valuable feature of Grafana Loki is the dashboards which are really simple to create."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to set up alerts, which becomes necessary when we need to receive notifications for specific events."
"I appreciate the capability to process logs from microservices and seamlessly integrate them into Grafana."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the tool's GUI. The solution's GUI is very user-friendly."
"The effectiveness of filters is pivotal for optimizing the search process and extracting the specific information we need from the extensive log data."
"The tool can be used in multi-cluster environments."
"It definitely needs HA, because we have so many applications that are dependent on AppMon that it has been deemed critical. Any downtime, it just affects so many users. So that's one of our key asks for the future."
"Needs a greater meta data capture."
"When you're making that transition from AppMon, which is very dashboard-oriented, over to Dynatrace, which is no dashboards, there needs to be something in between so that business buys in a little bit. I would transition my dashboards over so that we don't have to recreate them, because recreating them is very difficult in Dynatrace. It's really hard to say, "Oh, the dashboards that you had on the team that you were using, you're not going to get over here." Or, "You have to re-create them all over again." People are going to ask questions about cost, who is going to do that."
"As the product is evolving quickly and product features are added on a monthly basis, a more transparent roadmap would be more than welcome."
"We have multiple tenants. If you have them up at the same time, you can't see in the UI which tenant you're in. It doesn't tell you."
"The products or company go through a rebrand/renaming about once a year, which creates some confusion with our customers."
"Enterprise Synthetic of DC RUM can be made more robust."
"It would be great to have Synthetic automatically retrieve what the customer sees on his side."
"The correlation of requests is not simple in Grafana Loki and can be improved."
"In Grafana Loki, the creation of metrics is not so easy, making it an area that could be made easier."
"The product must improve its UI."
"The Docker container partition feature needs improvement as they do not reuse the space and goes into a pending state."
"We encountered certain limitations when it came to alerting, particularly when dealing with specific data sources."
"My main concern is the recommended production-grade setup. They suggest using tools like Tanka or Jsonnet. They should simplify the process to increase adoption."
"The solution's scalability depends on the team managing the Grafana instance."
"There is a need for some change in the alerting types of the product. In short, a few changes in the alert area are needed due to minor shortcomings."
