We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Dynatrace helps us to improve overall performance and allows us to detect the root cause of an outbreak on our systems."
"Service engineers save a lot of time because they can just go in look at the data and share it with the customer, who has the same view, and say, "Here's an improvement which can be immediately implemented." It's not like a collection of big, multiple findings that are consolidated into one results presentation, then the customer needs to do something. It's more like a continuous performance analysis and improvement process, which is more efficient than those workshops approaches. That's one of the biggest of the advantages that our services team sees because it helps DevOps to focus on continuous delivery and shift quality issues to pre-production."
"We use it for monitoring all the applications in our bank, and it works fantastically."
"Customers are looking at our site, every second, constantly. They're able to do that because, if for some reason it goes down, I can instantly get it back up, because I know what needs to be fixed. In the past, before having the tool, we were being notified by the brand, or the brand manager, "Hey, customers are complaining that our site is down." And then there was me, as a developer, trying to track down what was causing this issue. With Dynatrace, it's right there in front of me, it's a JavaScript error, or something I can narrow down."
"Dynatrace provide us the in-depth details to know what is wrong in the application and what are performance issues, then really quickly we are able to debug any performance issues or any other performance-related issues."
"Real-time information allows us to proactively tackle an issue before it affects our clients."
"We're able to tell them which calls, which methods, which interface were the problem."
"It reduces our efforts to identify services failing in production."
"This has helped us to monitor the availability of our routers, switches, servers, and virtual environments."
"The alerting and usage tracking notifications on disk space capacity, network and processor utilization."
"SolarWinds is reasonably priced."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerts."
"It is very extensible with 'SWQL' and APIs to where we are beginning to integrate it with network automation."
"There are a lot of options for customization of the dashboard, alerts, and reports."
"We don't have any issues with the stability of SolarWinds NPM."
"One of the best features is the reports feature."
"A useful addition for known issues would be the ability to automatically perform certain activities as a first attempt to resolve issues which are creating a problem."
"The web version of the client interface needs more features that are in the Java-based thick client."
"Getting the EM data, we have to open a browser. Generally, one of the asks from our clients or our engineering team is to change this."
"They seriously have to improve their Web UI dashboard configuration and SSL timeouts. Their Web UI dashboards are very slow."
"Improvements are needed in the navigation and timeframe selection when browsing problems."
"The new Managed Edition is too complex. I feel like a fish out of water."
"The dashboard could improve."
"It is not clear what are our long-term strategy should be to upgrade (Appmon vs Dynatrace)."
"The integration with video apps could be better."
"Sometimes there are issues when upgrading to a new version of the product."
"Application Performance Monitoring should be included in this solution."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved. We would like to divide the dashboards to give a clear view to our management team to show what we have and what deficiencies exist in our network."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
"It has covered everything, so no improvement is required at their end. The only thing is the price."
"The evaluation time for the product is too short especially for large corporations."
"The solution could improve in many areas, such as the marketing and description of the products, providing areas of improvement, cloud capabilities, and being able to be more streamlined with the current integration points with other applications."
