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."
"Often, we are busy working on other tasks when something goes wrong with the site. Getting timely alerts is very important to our needs as a business."
"Our company gets quick response times and qualified responses from technical support, so that is good."
"It has helped us improve the performance of many of our applications."
"I'm also involved on the practical side, putting in all the automation, that automation platform. To have a tool like Dynatrace, where I don't have to work out for hours how to configure and set up alerts and monitoring - especially in a solution that is not completed yet - it's not only a major time-saver, but I know going forward that it will be able to learn how the system operates. Day one, we're getting all of that stuff for free, out-of-the-box."
"In the AppMon, offering, currently, the most valuable feature is the PurePath analysis, being able to deep-dive into call chains."
"Integration with other tools in company using SNMP traps."
"Understanding how the user was being targeted by the application as well as knowing their behavior using those applications."
"The features that we find most valuable are automatic root cause detection, topology discovery, and session replay."
"There are certain aspects of the configuration that could be simplified a bit."
"It still has a long way to go to reach that single pane of glass."
"When the tool ingests data from other tools, being able to correlate those with the existing topology, so that the AI engine can draw more conclusions in case Dynatrace does not monitor those instances."
"A tutorial could be embedded in the system as it is hard for a beginner to start using Dynatrace straight away."
"This solution could be improved with better compatibility with legacy applications."
"The integration of the tools is getting there. It is still not there yet, because we still have to get a lot of tools to put together."
"JIRA integration should be enriched and more granular."
"Our environment is very complicated anyway, so the initial setup was a bit of a struggle, but only because we have so many applications and JVMs that we have been working on for long time."
"There is another challenge, which is in case of the Managed solution. In our old solution we could simply export the data as session data, and that would be imported and seen. Now, if we are using the Managed solution, then giving someone access to that solution is a challenge. We can handle it, but it's different than taking screenshots and saving that information the way we used to. The copy/paste features that were there in old application - because it was a fat app - were nice, compared to browser-based app, because you cannot really use those features anymore."
