We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."In general, it has helped me go through different logs more easily when something breaks."
"PurePath is one of the best features."
"Data analytics help us to find us issues in the short-term or long-term."
"Easy to install and start using it."
"Logs files for JVM transactions help to debug most of the failures."
"The initial setup was straightforward. The documentation and the university helped on Dynatrace."
"Provides more visibility into applications."
"Support from Dynatrace is excellent. They are always on hand for any queries, demos, and/or issues."
"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"There are lots of great features and functionality within the solution."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"The flexibility of this solution is amazing."
"There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally. The map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing. I don't know every other tool in the market. So, I don't know if this is a good point of only Zabbix, or other tools are also doing it, but from my point of view, this is the most useful page that I use, along with the problems page that efficiently lists the problem, recovery time, ending hours, starting hours, and so on."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"We have had some struggles with scaling. We were on AppMon, and AppMon has its own monolithic drawbacks."
"There is still a bit of redundancy in Dynatrace."
"Even with PurePath and the like, it still takes time, a day or whatever - or expert knowledge of some person - to be able to identify a problem quickly."
"Waiting for the session replay needs improvement."
"Either use less system resources and be faster or use more resources to pre-compute the PurePath on recent X minutes of data"
"Cloud monitoring is insufficient. We would prefer Dynatrace to make more partnerships with major cloud applications like Salesforce, C4C, etc."
"For the manage services, they work on CloudWatch logs and are given CloudWatch logs only. I would like more collaboration with AWS and insight into CloudWatch services. This would be valuable, especially when detecting the fault of the root cause analysis. It would make the process go faster."
"A role-based view and a Python monitoring tool would make a simple user interface more usable."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"In terms of user-friendliness, large maps could be more interactive. We should be able to click on some areas and move some objects. It would make it simpler to see things while analyzing some dedicated parameters."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"We would like to see the addition of automatic push functionality to this product. This would save time when monitoring our servers and networks as, at present, we have to manually install the Zabbix agent on any hardware to be monitored."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"The reporting features need improvement, especially detailed inventory reporting. Since it's freeware, reporting may not be a major focus."
"The stability could be better."
Dynatrace is ranked 2nd in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability with 341 reviews while Zabbix is ranked 10th in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability with 101 reviews. Dynatrace is rated 8.8, while Zabbix is rated 8.2. The top reviewer of Dynatrace writes "AI identifies all the components of a response-time issue or failure, hugely benefiting our triage efforts". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Zabbix writes "Allows any number of customizations but lacks functionality for finding root causes". Dynatrace is most compared with Datadog, New Relic, AppDynamics, Splunk Enterprise Security and Azure Monitor, whereas Zabbix is most compared with Centreon, Checkmk, SolarWinds NPM, Nagios Core and Nagios XI.
