We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and Wireshark 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."By using Dynatrace, we can set up the agents to provide alerts at the JVM level."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that we can see every database call executed from Java applications."
"Some of the main benefits are being able to quickly identify when transactions start to slow or run into issues, or hiccups if you will."
"We also use it in our performance testing. We found an issue that way, and we would have put that change live without Dynatrace. Finding that problem in "live", that would have been three or four days of investigation, whereas we found the issue, fixed the issue, reran the tests, all same day."
"It provides the whole perspective in a single place when trying to guide the right people to go to the right solution at any given point in time."
"The dashboard allows us to monitor and proactively act upon any breaches in the threshold for our infrastructure."
"It has enabled us to have a deeper insight into our application availability and performance."
"I use the filters very often, to determine what type of traffic I am looking for. The use of filter allows traffic to be segmented so that a value can be looked at individually apart from the other traffic."
"Wireshark is a good tool to start with network analyzing and packet capturing."
"The options that are required to get the details for the packet drops are good."
"Wireshark has a lot of features. It's a powerful tool if you're familiar with it. You can see everything on the network with it."
"The ability to decrypt traffic and the abundance of filters available are both valuable features."
"The filter option provided by Wireshark is its most valuable feature...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I have found the most valuable feature you can design your sniffer the way you want to."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The functionality needs improvement."
"Dashboarding and having different templates available for more business reporting, or even other metrics, would be useful."
"Monitoring asynchronous code requires manual instrumentation (most of the time)."
"The UX/UI needs improvement. It is not easy to learn."
"Make the Web UI more robust. Last time I used the web interface, it was still pretty crude."
"Enterprise application monitoring for synthetic, as is, only captures http/https transactions."
"So far, we have not achieved the benefit of preventing issues."
"They should make hooks into some of the more modern performance testing tools a little easier. I think that would go a long way."
"The initial setup depends upon the basics. You need to have a clear understanding of the basics."
"Wireshark is restricted when any sort of encryption is involved, such as XSL encryption or DLX."
"The only thing that I don't like is sometimes there is an update, and something that I was using is either no longer there or it has changed."
"It is difficult to scale this solution."
"Whenever we select one of the packets, in terms of the number of bytes, for example, there are three planes, and in the detailed plane, I have to count the number of bytes manually."
"I would like to see Wireshark improve the ease of application of the command. The command is very powerful, but not easy to apply."
"We'd like to be able to extract the output into an Excel table."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
Dynatrace is ranked 2nd in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability with 342 reviews while Wireshark is ranked 4th in Network Troubleshooting with 61 reviews.
