"Users no longer need to depend upon the console for a compatible Java version. Now, users can directly learn the version, perform all their actions, and see all of those performance-related issues."
"Enables me to monitor multiple servers, applications, resources, and users"
"Product performance is awesome. It's covering all aspects of the application; good database metrics and internal application metrics. Just tons and tons of data."
"Standard available reports provide us with an automatic insight into the top ten situations to watch. It would have been extremely difficult to program such a report ourselves, and to my knowledge no other competitor can match this functionality."
"We understand for APM, it has the ability to drill down and do the end-to-end monitoring that we are looking for."
"The features that I find most valuable are related to network monitoring."
"Stability is one of the strongest attributes of CA APM. It is very stable on all platforms."
"Cross-VM transaction traces provide a complete "what happened where"."
"The ability to real-time monitor servers and databases without any major drain on application resources is invaluable."
"This monitoring capability gives us the ability to measure the end-user experience."
"I find that the AI on offer is useful, as it's good at identifying problems. You do need a bit of customizing, however, even in its sort of vanilla form, it's pretty good at identifying problems and the root causes of those problems and whatnot."
"I think one of the most valuable features is the Dynatrace API, for both metrics and configuration."
"One of the most valuable features of Dynatrace is that it offers good visibility. It's better than other APM tools. You're not required to use a different technology when you have Dynatrace because it will work whether you're hosting it on Windows or Linux."
"Dynatrace makes it so much easier to proactively solve problems before they become big headaches, and easily pinpoint the root cause of an issue."
"The ability to take each individual request and dive in to inspect what methods and calls are being made is extremely helpful."
"Dynatrace is stable."
"The APM upgrade procedure is a bit complicated with compatibility issues which can emerge like between agents and EM/Collectors."
"Stability could actually be helped because it is a wrapper or an agent on our system. If we are having a bad day in production or if other resources are being utilized, then we will get get gaps in our monitoring system."
"They can make it easier to configure."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive and address support tickets more quickly."
"The upgrade was complex. The documentation could have been a little bit better, but other than that, it was okay."
"Needs the ability to dynamically create dashboards. Right now, we do custom dashboards. Everything is created manually."
"There is no auto flow diagram, and the alert mechanism is not as good when compared to other tools."
"As applications move to the cloud, we need more cloud-based solutions from CA APM. This is currently unavailable."
"The AI is not that intelligent and there are different places where it could be even more automated."
"The flexibility when it comes to integrating with other tools is very low."
"Enterprise Synthetic of DC RUM can be made more robust."
"I am unable to use Synthetic to automate user login."
"We have multiple tenants. If you have them up at the same time, you can't see in the UI which tenant you're in. It doesn't tell you."
"Right now, there is a log analysis feature. This is maybe a little more deeper than the log analytics in comparison to other tools, like Splunk or Sumo Logic. If Dynatrace can come up with this replay feature, that would be great."
"For AppMon, in order to use the rich client especially, I think you have to be somebody who is in there more often than not. It's not necessarily as intuitive as it could be."
"More integrations could prove very beneficial to us."
