Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The initial setup was fairly easy."
"With PurePath, I am able to find the root cause of the error or bug existing in our system."
"The linking is very good in Dynatrace. What happens in other monitoring tools is the linking is not proper. In those solutions, a person has to manually link many of the layers and what is happening in them, while in Dynatrace you get that from the very first visit. For example, if a person is visiting your website, from there it will traverse you to the end. If the application is a Java application, it will traverse you there, to the Method level. So that linking and traversing is better in Dynatrace."
"Our development group has started using Dynatrace extensively. It helps them find bottlenecks caused by code."
"It is nice to be able to deep dive and pull historical data."
"It is very stable. The improvements that they keep making just make the tool more useful."
"Working with the user interface is a pleasure for any customer since it is fast, responsive, and very well designed."
"It seems to be very stable. We have not had any outages attributed to the product."
"A very powerful solution for the end user."
"There are certain aspects of the configuration that could be simplified a bit."
"The reporting could be better."
"If you have many distributed servers, you will need to install or migrate every agent. This can be a problem if you have too many, and it takes time."
"It's not very scalable, we cannot add another server onto it."
"Its pricing could be better. Dynatrace has an option to monitor the end users to see what they are doing, but it required a separate license and had an additional cost. It was coming out to be expensive, because of which we didn't use the feature."
"The initial setup was challenging for us. However, it was complex until you grasped the nuances of the product and the building blocks."
"We have a couple of one page apps that it has a problem with because it doesn't call to the server all the time. I believe part of that is taken care of in the next version."
"As we move into using more AWS native architectures, it should support everything that we want to do. We don't want to adopt another tool."
"We would like to see more dashboarding capabilities and the ability to export custom reports."
