Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The initial setup was fairly easy."
"The triaging is amazing. And at the same time, it provides depth, all the way to what kind of a method, what variables are inside those methods. Without getting too into the technical, the depth it gets to, pinpointing the problematic area - where exactly the problem is happening - is amazing."
"I like the auto email alerting feature the most, as it is set up based on the application error or condition."
"Whether it is the server, database, network, or application, Dynatrace provides a consistent unambiguous view of performance."
"Support from Dynatrace is excellent. They are always on hand for any queries, demos, and/or issues."
"We obtained a better insight into our environment and consolidated a lot of our old apps into one app."
"With Dynatrace, we have synthetic checks and real-user monitoring of all of our websites, places where members and providers can interact with us over the web. We monitor the response times of those with Dynatrace, and it's all integrated into one place."
"The installation and configuration were very straightforward and nice."
"Real-time alerts allow us to address issues as they happen."
"There are certain aspects of the configuration that could be simplified a bit."
"Addition of more statistical features, plus different time series modeling techniques, would really help for future versions."
"Mainly navigation needs improvement. It is easier to follow a flow. Following the flow of the admin now is not easy."
"We are waiting on the new features to see how they perform."
"It is always requiring us to update the Dynatrace client."
"The one thing people really liked that we can do in AppMon is executive dashboards and, until recently, you couldn't even create the business transactions you need for the data at the back-end of those dashboards. But if I had to ask for one thing it would be: In the new platform, give me the ability to do dashboarding in the way it's done in AppMon, and I think that would bridge a lot of the missing pieces. If I could do the same type of executive dashboards on the walls, they would be happy."
"They're doing vulnerability assessments of the application stack by using OneAgent. It's a never-ending story if you are trying to be sure your application is also secure."
"Because we are financial, there are certain things that we cannot put on the cloud. However, that is a given fact, not only for us. It is a given fact for any financial company because of PCI compliance. Because of PCI compliance, companies don't take the risk of putting data in the cloud."
"We ran into a problem where the Dynatrace JavaScript agent is returning errors, and it's very apparent that there's a problem. However, the customer support will ask us for seemingly unnecessary details instead of looking at our dashboard through their account to see what the problem is. They ask us for a lot of details not really related to solving the problem. As a result, we still have a few issues that were never resolved. They're not major issues, but they're kind of frustrating."
