We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and SolarWinds Pingdom 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."Adds value to application owners, DB owners, and provides visibility on how end users utilize browsers and where they are originate from."
"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 AppMon solution helped the operations guys to pinpoint one problem area and call the specific group, instead of everyone. The mean time to repair and the resource utilization time, they are totally reduced."
"Since Appmon has been leveraged, we are now down to just hours (sometimes minutes) in resolution times."
"They have quick answers for scalability."
"Mean time to recover (MTTR) has reduced significantly during major outages due to specific data pinpointed by DT applications."
"The solution offers a better overview of applications. It offers end-to-end monitoring, and the user experience is real."
"We have identified some critical issues, which are not available or recreatable in the Dev or QA environment."
"There are alerting mechanisms in place to let us know, for example, if a device is not responding to a ping test and is probably not going to work."
"One notable feature of this software is its page speed setup, which is highly commendable. Additionally, the metrics it provides are also impressive."
"The most valuable features are monitoring and reporting."
"Once you set the threshold on your environment, it feels very real-time"
"There should be more visibility for network performance monitoring. There should be more metrics for things like 5G and IoT. That would be the main thing because they've moved more to mobile performance rather than fixed networks."
"It could be more affordable and therefore, more widely used by including more features like DEM as part of licensing cost rather than an additional expense."
"Dynatrace has been difficult to set up and use to diagnose problems in the past due to the complex nature of the tool."
"Due to the fact that you doing a lot, you have a problem with the learning curve. We're really looking for ways to make this product more accessible."
"It would be great to have Synthetic automatically retrieve what the customer sees on his side."
"The plugin architecture is not very flexible, which makes it difficult to add the custom monitoring not available through Dynatrace, specifically around file monitoring."
"I would like the ability to export a user session into csv format. (I am aware that I can export a user session via a webhook)."
"The AppMon 6.5 is problematic in configuring. It is little finicky. When we configured the JVM, it did not work."
"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI."
"Some of the functions could improve by making them easier."
"I would like to see better integration with other products."
"Technical support could use some improvement."
