Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product allows us to build preferred/customized business transactions to track complex transactions. UEM (User Experience Monitoring) agents track user experience on webRequests. The advantage is that Dynatrace correlates the measures on the devices with those on the backend servers, giving us an end-to-end view of the transaction, from the user's phone deep into the backend servers.""It has given us one simple dashboard to monitor all of our servers and web applications.""Working with the user interface is a pleasure for any customer since it is fast, responsive, and very well designed.""It has helped us by reducing the number of incidents that we have had in the past.""Being able to drill down into the PurePaths to get to a solution is key for us.""The Dynatrace solution has an important role in optimizing application code and SQL queries for customer solutions.""The initial setup was straightforward. The documentation and the university helped on Dynatrace.""It helps DevOps find all its problems easily and analyzes performance problems."

"Docker containers are completely supported, kind of like "first class citizens".""The ability to stop/pause and capture logs when something happens is the most valuable feature."

More Sysdig Monitor Pros →

Cons
"I would like them to add serverless capabilities, because everyone is going there.""I'd like to see the UI a bit more polished. For example, I saw a demo of the dashboards here at the Perform 2018 conference. There was a table of these widgets, but they're not sorted alphabetically and there's, like, 50 of them. So if you want to find your widgets, you're of scrolling up and down. So small features, being able to search for widgets, that things are more categorized; just a bit more focused on the user experience.""The analytics feature provides us some information, but is limited for now. We want to see how we can consume the data further down and have analytics guys look at the datacenter information.​""The dashboard tool needs to be improved. We need more options, because the look and feel is too old-fashioned.""Improve Dynatrace for the following industries: telco, eCommerce, and banking.""There continues to be some opportunity to expose the infrastructure from a broader reporting standpoint. Overall, the opportunity is in the reporting capability and the ability to more flexibly expose or pivot the data for deeper analysis. Oftentimes, the solution is good at looking narrowly at information, but when you want to broaden that perspective, that's where the challenges come in. At this point, it requires the export of data to external systems to do this.""sometimes it happens that we are not able to capture things. For example, if a person is logged in from India, from the city of Mumbai, and is using a Chrome browser, and his email ID is xyz@abc.com. But what happens is, Dynatrace just fetches two pieces of the information, not all of it. Sometimes it gets it all, sometimes it doesn't.""Custom reporting capabilities should be extended, because it now has basic charting capabilities."

More Dynatrace Cons →

""Events" reporting (errors, crashes, etc.) is not clear at all in a Mesos environment (i.e., it's not clear what specific container is the one that went down). In a Docker Compose environment, it may be way better.""It is needs to automate the actions to take when an alert is triggered."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is based on the number of servers monitored, so for big applications, it is a bit expensive."
  • "Licensing is a bit complicated for Dynatrace, and pricing is dependent on how much your organization invests."
  • "We found an issue within the first week of ownership that has been costing us more than the entire license cost."
  • "Product pricing can seem a little over complex, however this is minor and does not detract from the benefits of the solution."
  • "Getting the first agents installed, getting information, and coverage in a initial set of systems can be done in hours and with a low cost entry point."
  • "Price (of the product) is a major concern for all the clients I work with."
  • "The licensing model is confusing in solutioning clients for the number of hosts needed to deploy."
  • "The product is superior to others, but it comes with a price tag that is often difficult to position back to clients."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Dynatrace is the only solution that provides answers to organizations based on deep insight into each user, transaction, and organization's environment.

    Barry P., a managing performance engineer at Medica Health Plans, writes, "With Dynatrace, we have synthetic checks and real-user monitoring of all of our websites, places where members and providers can interact with us over the web. We monitor the response times of those with Dynatrace, and it's all integrated into one place."

    A consultant at a tech service company notes, "A feature that's one of the highlights of Dynatrace is the AI. The second most valuable feature is OneAgent. Between infrastructures, applications, operating systems, you can deploy with just a single agent and can practically install and forget about it."

    Sysdig Monitor allows you to maximize the performance and availability of your cloud infrastructure, services, and applications. Built on open source, it provides immediate, deep visibility into rapidly changing container environments. You can resolve issues faster by using granular data derived from actual system calls enriched with cloud and Kubernetes context along with Prometheus metrics. Remove silos by unifying data across teams for hybrid and multi-cloud monitoring.
