"The Dynatrace support team that we have is great and the staff that we have had onsite has been consistently good."
"This monitoring capability gives us the ability to measure the end-user experience."
"Reduces the amount of knowledge that is needed by applications consuming this data."
"The Dashboard is very useful, as you can monitor different parameters on the same screen."
"I get valuable information like, for example, if a site is down. That's the key. I'm instantly getting a message, or even on the app, I can see if something overnight went down a few times, or it's not performing at 100%."
"Dynatrace has designed its agents to capture limited stack traces for each transaction executed."
"The sum solution, NTA, and DPA."
"Technical support is always live and they're supportive."
"I have found the most valuable feature is application performance management."
"The reporting of the solution is very good."
"Some of the most valuable features of SolarWinds are the topology discovery and network performance analysis."
"The product has a great dashboard."
"Scalability-wise, on the data side, I'm really worried because they are giving only seven days data retention. They should plan something on that, to increase the data."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more portables included regarding the screens."
"The pricing of the product could be improved."
"It is not clear what are our long-term strategy should be to upgrade (Appmon vs Dynatrace)."
"We had one issue when we tried to enter one agent and it just does not work. We got to work with the highest level of support, but it took a while to get there."
"We should be able to easily simplify both the charting and slicing-and-dicing of user metrics with cookies that contain customer/user information."
"They should provide a guide to arrive at the solution for non-super experts."
"If we can gain more insight into older applications, using not-so-recent technologies, then it would be a plus."
"The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models."
"The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward."
"In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products."
"I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view."
