We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Dynatrace gives excellent insight into the performance of our applications."
"We have substantially lowered incidents in our organization."
"Capability to troubleshoot isolated customer complaints with the user session feature."
"Dynatrace is heavily automated which is a big advantage. You don't have to configure a lot, it installs and it runs straight away. There's direct return on investment and you can focus on more interesting stuff than always have to configure and change the configurations. Issues or problems in detection is also fully automated, which is great."
"Support is very transparent in issues, what they need to do, and how they need to fix certain issues and problems."
"Dynatrace is capable of following all user actions across all monitored infrastructure, even to systems not monitored, but interconnected."
"I get valuable information like, for example, if a site is down. That's the key. I'm instantly getting a message, or even on the app, I can see if something overnight went down a few times, or it's not performing at 100%."
"The solution is amazing, it does well when you need to use it."
"There are a lot of valuable features with SolarWinds NPM. We can receive a lot of detailed data from the monitoring that can use useful for investigations, especially when you are troubleshooting. It is very helpful. Overall it was a very good experience."
"A product that is well-tested and trusted in demanding situations."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"The people in technical support are very good."
"All the features are very good. The monitoring of the equipment, the configuration manager, and the IP address monitoring are great."
"We can proactively fix historical issues, so we won't face those problems in future."
"I love the GUI. Almost everything is accessible through the web interface. It is very user-friendly. It is easy to drag and drop resources wherever you want them."
"I found a lot of valuable features in SolarWinds NPM, such as the customized application monitoring that allows you to customize any monitoring and script customization, and you also have the option to deploy and upgrade SolarWinds NPM online, which is very useful for my organization."
"The web version of the client interface needs more features that are in the Java-based thick client."
"Dynatrace SaaS still lacks configuration API or command line which would allow moving configuration from one tenant to the other."
"I would like more flexible data export functions and APIs. The end user experience data is very useful to the solutions team to determine actual system usage and misuse. Flexible, easier data APIs would allow us to export the data more easily to other analytics platforms to enable this analysis as well as enable storage of this data for longer term analysis since DynaTrace only holds user data for 35 days."
"Its price, for sure, should be improved. Its price is quite high. Other than the price, there are always improvements to be made as technologies change. When we move into cloud-based technologies, Dynatrace will also have to adapt so that they can monitor those as well. It should have the adaptability to quickly transform to monitor those new technologies."
"PurePath exports was a great feature in AppMon, but it is sometimes missing in Dynatrace."
"C language integration requires manual implementation through the SDK, which is rather difficult and time consuming."
"Mainly navigation needs improvement. It is easier to follow a flow. Following the flow of the admin now is not easy."
"The configuration of the alerts, that's been a challenge in AppMon for me, right now. Some of the alerts are too noisy, but that might be my lack of some configuration."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve by adding the deepest inspection, performance networking, and IP address discovery."
"Robustness of network element mapping tool could be better"
"SolarWinds NPM could improve the graphics of the interface and more customized reporting."
"We decided that we were no longer going to trust that their products have not been capitalized."
"We also had to be attentive to vulnerabilities, because SolarWinds NPM have some issues in that area. We had to work with our security team, so that they could help us check and backup the data, and check what they needed to secure."
"In terms of scalability, there is room for improvement. When you start monitoring, if you have so many interfaces and you're trying to monitor them at a faster interval, or a shorter interval, you get to a point where you need to request another node."
"This solution would benefit from expanding on the capabilities within the API."
