We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and Elastic Stack 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."This solution has helped us to improve application performance and reduce issue-impact with faster resolutions."
"The web dashboards are quite useful, good looking, and easy to use."
"Finally, we have 100% visibility on website performance, including third-party sources."
"The PurePath feature enables you to see the path from click to database query."
"For me, the most valuable feature of this solution is that deep dive that we get out of the AppMon product with the PurePath technology, and the way that the PurePath stack works."
"The alerting systems are definitely the most valuable feature. The AI engine, "Davis," has proved to be a game-changer for us, as it helps to alert us when there are anomalies found in our applications or in their performance... letting the Davis engine find those anomalies and push them to the top, especially as they relate to business impact, is very valuable to us."
"The solution is amazing, it does well when you need to use it."
"I would give Dynatrace's technical support a 100% rating. I feel like whenever I call or send an email that I get the right person automatically. For the most difficult answers, the most I have to wait is about three days and the answers have been relevant."
"I think the ecosystem is well supported, and for logs, it was faster compared to our previous previous log management."
"Prior to the latest updates, data lake management was a standout feature. The hybrid capability for on-premise and cloud integration was also crucial. Now, with Elastic Defense, the agent simplifies security monitoring, making it a key asset."
"The machine learning capabilities are valuable."
"It is a very scalable solution...I didn't face any problem with this scalability part of the solution since we only have a few pieces of equipment in our company."
"I have experienced a return on investment from the use of the solution."
"The tool's most powerful aspect is its search engine capability. It's a highly effective and powerful solution for searching. We use it in professional and student projects at universities, and it delivers promising results."
"The biggest strength of Elastic Stack is its brilliant archiving capabilities."
"The solution's technical support is good...Elastic Stack offers good value for value for money based on the product's features and what they offer."
"A useful addition for known issues would be the ability to automatically perform certain activities as a first attempt to resolve issues which are creating a problem."
"I also wish there was the ability to do alert filtering before it triggered an alert with PagerDuty/OpsGenie/Slack."
"One thing that would help it tighter integration with DCRUM. It's somewhat difficult to drill down and see everything, but I think that's in the future versions. We just haven't seen that yet."
"Dynatrace could be improved by having a fully functional applications and infrastructure monitoring feature. Their existing stack, which is SNMP-based, does not have full infrastructure monitoring, whereas if we compare it with other solutions like New Relic or Datadog, they have moved into infrastructure monitoring. The second improvement I would suggest is in regards to the cost. So far, Dynatrace is the most expensive APM that we sell, even compared to New Relic. I think they can improve a little bit in terms of the license pricing."
"Pretty much every month there are new features. However, its information on those new features is scarce."
"It requires manual intervention to uninstall the cloud agent from servers you want it removed from."
"In regards to Diffie-Hellman encryption stuff, it is a hurdle with what we are doing with DC RUM, where everyone is embracing stronger security suites, but the whole point of DC RUM is to get that data between the tiers."
"If we can gain more insight into older applications, using not-so-recent technologies, then it would be a plus."
"Improvements are needed in the solution in areas like SOAR and TIP, where there are certain shortcomings."
"The implementation of dashboards in the solution needs to be made easier...I had some issues with the ports and configuration since it was kind of complex to implement with Docker."
"Agent deployment is a little tough in the on-premise version."
"Elastic Stack should work on their dashboards and integration process."
"The main issue related to Elastic Stack is in the area of its licensing."
"It lacks a clear NDR (Network Detection and Response) feature. If Elastic could enhance this aspect, it would significantly boost its capabilities."
"Elastic Stack's search capabilities can be challenging, especially when searching for precise data from past years, such as two or ten years ago. Its indexing performance for exact data retrieval may decrease as the data volume grows. Therefore, I believe there is room for improvement in the product's search functionality. It needs to improve its pricing as well."
"The solution is expensive, particularly the training and certification. If customers want to increase their use of Elastic Stack, they should consider reducing the cost of certification and training."
