"A very powerful solution for the end user."
"We have identified some critical issues, which are not available or recreatable in the Dev or QA environment."
"We leverage on Dynatrace technology to trace and identify issues in the test environment before launching to production."
"The real-time monitoring, which we are getting, is amazing."
"The stuff that's coming with the new pieces around the Dynatrace Managed SaaS implementation. The ease of implementation there is significant. We've spent a lot of time with AppMon and DC RUM - that's a lot of time to set up, configure. With Managed solution, you just drop it in and everything pretty much auto-instruments."
"It can give a quick overview of the current health status, end to end, and can quickly point to the root cause if there an issue or problem in one of our applications."
"The most valuable features of Dynatrace are the ease of installation and management, as well as its extensibility."
"PurePath gives a lot of flexibility in identifying issues and finding the flow of execution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog because it has more integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools."
"The real complexity that I've seen with Dynatrace is to learn how to navigate through all the options in the troubleshooting process. We have a lot of ways to evaluate the same problem. We had some difficulties in the beginning with the use of the product, but after some time and some experience we have overcome this problem."
"Adding people to alerts has not been very intuitive. That's really my only negative feedback."
"Make the Web UI more robust. Last time I used the web interface, it was still pretty crude."
"Two things that can be improved are the licensing and the Business dashboard."
"Network monitoring is lacking and could be improved."
"Enterprise application monitoring for synthetic, as is, only captures http/https transactions."
"So far, we have not achieved the benefit of preventing issues."
"The dashboarding in Dynatrace is not very good. We have used other monitoring tools like AppDynamics. We are also using AppDynamics for some of our products. If I compare Dynatrace with those monitoring tools, the dashboarding is not as good. If I have to create a dashboard it takes me time, the experience is not that good."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"The log centralization and analysis could be improved in Sentry."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"The price could be lowered."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
