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."It gives more visibility into all the coding (the black screen). It gives a nice screen. You can see ups and downs. You can see where the traffic is getting impacted, more on the convergence side."
"It is very easy to create customized dashboards."
"It has AI capabilities for anomaly detection. Also, they are a fully automated solution, so it's easy to use when it comes to deployment."
"We started monitoring our VMware hypervisors and that gave us valuable system specific metrics into our virtual environments."
"The geographical view provides a nice visualization of performance on a map."
"Dynatrace's power lies in its ability to inspect and chart transactions, and draw the PurePath tree. The parameters of the requests and methods can be selected to access the necessary information for efficient analysis."
"The vendor team who did the setup was very good. They sent a very skillful resource for the setup."
"Interrelating the logs and infrastructure issues, application issues, DC RUM, everything in one dashboard, saves us time in troubleshooting."
"I think the ecosystem is well supported, and for logs, it was faster compared to our previous previous log management."
"The machine learning capabilities are valuable."
"I have experienced a return on investment from the use of the solution."
"Elastic Stack is mainly used to monitor servers and APIs. It helps ensure the software's availability and sends notifications at the right time so the system is not down for a long time. The tool's stability and advanced features, such as anomaly detection, are the most valuable features. The benefit of using it is real-time monitoring."
"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 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."
"The tool is huge, and it performs brilliantly. I tested it for malware, and within two weeks of launching, the product alerted me about a network intrusion. This was a tough test for it, but it performed admirably. The alerting system is excellent, and searching through logs is incredibly efficient. What's impressive is that all three products or options are integrated into one solution. This means I don't need separate logging, monitoring, or antivirus solutions."
"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."
"I have not had very positive experiences with tech support in the last year. I found them to be arrogant, rude, not solving my problems, and not interested in solving my problems."
"I would love to see Dynatrace get more involved in the security realm. I get badgered by so many endpoint protection companies. It seems like a natural fit to me, that Dynatrace should be playing in that space."
"There are a couple gaps in the network reporting that we would like to see cleared up a bit."
"The AppMon 6.5 is problematic in configuring. It is little finicky. When we configured the JVM, it did not work."
"We found it was quite challenging in terms of the learning curve."
"If the user interface were made more intuitive then it would really benefit the product."
"It would be nice to get the AI piece into AppMon."
"The integration between the web monitoring of Dynatrace and OneAgent. "
"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."
"Elastic Stack should work on their dashboards and integration process."
"The tool's pricing can be improved."
"It lacks a clear NDR (Network Detection and Response) feature. If Elastic could enhance this aspect, it would significantly boost its capabilities."
"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."
"Improvements are needed in the solution in areas like SOAR and TIP, where there are certain shortcomings."
"Agent deployment is a little tough in the on-premise version."
"The main issue related to Elastic Stack is in the area of its licensing."
