We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Daily metrics which us analyze the page composition and the corresponding performance metrics so we can quickly and easily determine when something has changed, to aid in root cause analysis."
"The ability to really drill into performance issues and help our application teams understand what is causing the business's problems."
"UEM (User Experience Management) is an optional feature that we acquired and use a lot. It provides indicators from the customer's browser, reflecting more precisely on what our internal users are experiencing."
"Dynatrace helps us to improve overall performance and allows us to detect the root cause of an outbreak on our systems."
"24/7, all transactions: The fact that every transaction is captured gives us the possibility of acting on every exception. But it also shows us what happens when everything works well, so we can compare it with the moment something goes wrong."
"Improved visibility on performance and application issues."
"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."
"This tool helps us gather information from all hosts and services, then cross reference the information."
"IBM's main value lies in its integration with its own technologies, which can be seen as a benefit in environments where IBM products are extensively used."
"The solution is very stable. We never had any issues with stability."
"Where we are struggling is being able to pull that information out and combine it with other contextual information that we have in other sources. Mining that data in a big-data environment, and joining it together and coming up with larger types of analysis on it."
"With Linux or Windows, it automatically takes care of everything, so there's no need for you to do any manual config changes. But when it comes to AIX - because I implemented it two weeks back - you have to go back to kind of an AppMon approach, where you instrument agents for .NET applications. So if Dynatrace could make those changes and make it automated, that would be one of the biggest action items."
"The product has no storage."
"Network monitoring is lacking and could be improved."
"Graphically, it is not good."
"Hard to use for beginners, to setup and explore."
"It would help if Dynatrace allowed more features that work with metrics like Grafana or New Relic."
"Either use less system resources and be faster or use more resources to pre-compute the PurePath on recent X minutes of data"
"The installation process is difficult, requiring continuous support and specialist expertise due to our limited knowledge of managing it effectively."
"The user interface was not good."
