We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) 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."For stability, our customers have no complaints."
"Some of the main benefits are being able to quickly identify when transactions start to slow or run into issues, or hiccups if you will."
"The move valuable feature is the AI engine, which is amazing."
"PurePath is one of the best features."
"Dynatrace helps to build business and non-business dashboards and the appropriate alarming on mail groups."
"Our customers are now able to control their infrastructure with a single tool, and can easily check the connections with all components."
"We setup triggers for certain critical events. When these events happen, alert notifications are sent to the support team to take immediate action."
"Mean time to root cause analysis decreased drastically."
"The SMP and the xStats, which is for flat file integration, are both useful for integrating the various metrics that the device provides to monitor the performance of those systems."
"The comprehensiveness of this solution's collection of network performance and flow data is one of the basics in the field for what it does. It meets all of our needs. So for all those areas, for the most straightforward collection capabilities, right up to NetFlow and even telemetry, it meets all those demands. Not only just basic or fundamental SNMP collection capability, but the product also supports what we need for the future with telemetry streaming. So it's very comprehensive."
"The automation feature is good because if your CMDB is OK and it is already in sync, then the automation part is good to go."
"Scalability. I have never had to worry about how to handle really big environments."
"We find that the reporting is particularly valuable in terms of not only communicating with our peer teams but also with the executives."
"One of the solution's biggest strengths is its capacity management performance, with out-of-the-box reports through NMS, as well as its ability to collect NetFlow-related data from devices. The collection of network performance and flow data is important because we have many critical business applications."
"The out of the box reports and workflows are pretty good and they meet our requirements well."
"The monitoring of the network is very customizable. That is its unique feature."
"Graphically, it is not good."
"I would say that this solution's reports are lacking a little bit, and because of this, you have to rely on API to fetch and pull data. I think they could have done a bit of a better job by providing a more user-friendly search from a reporting perspective."
"Make the Web UI more robust. Last time I used the web interface, it was still pretty crude."
"Better root cause detection and improve root cause categories. In some cases, the root cause points out only a clue of what has happened."
"The functionality needs improvement."
"They need a capability similar to Tealeaf where you can actually view what the consumer is doing and record the sessions. That is the biggest missing element."
"Every time I want to see the PurePath, I have to launch the client. It would be helpful if they introduced this in the browser application."
"The documentation of Dynatrace needs to be improved. There needs to be a more detailed description and additional examples for background understanding for beginners trying to use it."
"The customizations are very hard. The person doing it has to be very good at analytics and has to be very good in all languages"
"The user management features need to be improved. It would be nice if we had more granular control, or layers of control, out of the box."
"I would like to see live maps as an added feature. Also, build modules on AI and EML to provide better data insights that would proactively tell us what we should be looking after."
"In terms of having a complete view of our network performance, I would rate it a nine out of 10. The reason for not giving it a 10 is that there is no packet capture associated with SevOne, but we do have other tools in place to do that."
"There are a lot of pain points. My main problem is that we don't have a high availability system. There are 20 peers. We're going to lose the end-of-life appliances that are old. If we lose a peer and it doesn't come back, we lose all that data. The reason we don't have high availability is because it's double the charge."
"There is no service mode setup in this monitoring tool if you want to snooze alerts for any specific amount of time, to account for any activity change or major incident."
"The reporting of NMS is good, but it could be better."
"Some similar solutions offer end-to-end visibility."
