We performed a comparison between DX SaaS and Dynatrace 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."Actionable insight is the most valuable feature."
"It supports numerous platforms."
"DX allows you to customize and gives you a high degree of control."
"You get a good insight into what is going on inside your code."
"Having a Dynatrace guardian onsite for our first two years helped with our user adoption."
"The dashboard gives us something to show managers and our business where the problems are. That's really been eye-opening for them. They can see, yes, this tool has been a good investment. They can see where the problems are and how we can take advantage of it for making those necessary corrections."
"Email alert and mobile app alert are very useful for informing the team that something is going wrong."
"The Dynatrace solution has an important role in optimizing application code and SQL queries for customer solutions."
"Dynatrace improved the resolution of problems by making it easier to find root causes and easier to predict bad system behaviour."
"We can be more productive and agile. It allows us to be more accurate when we need to work with bugs."
"Whether it is the server, database, network, or application, Dynatrace provides a consistent unambiguous view of performance."
"Old user interface and dashboards could be improved."
"The ability to scale presents a challenge as the cost of handling vast amounts of data in the cloud must be taken into account."
"DX SaaS is a latecomer to the APM market. Some things that are straightforward in Dynatrace are complicated in DX. For example, upgrading the agents is a seamless process in Dynatrace, but it's a pain in DX SaaS. You should be able to upgrade in the Application Command Center. However, it is not working correctly."
"It still has a long way to go to reach that single pane of glass."
"We need extended support for some of the agents, the one-agent technologies under Managed. We've got some old legacy platforms that don't have one-agent support yet."
"One of the new features is "impacted users." I would like to see a rate of impacted users. For example, how long has the problem been going on: 100 users in five minutes. Does that mean that in 3 hours if we don't get this solved, we're impacting x number of people? Understanding the rate at which the problem is impacting people would be a cool feature."
"The dashboarding process and creating measures and metrics, it needs to be made a little bit easier and more simplified. "
"I would like to see dashboards included, and maybe more possibilities in terms of customization."
"Improvements in Synthetic monitoring would be great. Certain features of thick client, if available in the web interface, would also be a great improvement."
"There is another challenge, which is in case of the Managed solution. In our old solution we could simply export the data as session data, and that would be imported and seen. Now, if we are using the Managed solution, then giving someone access to that solution is a challenge. We can handle it, but it's different than taking screenshots and saving that information the way we used to. The copy/paste features that were there in old application - because it was a fat app - were nice, compared to browser-based app, because you cannot really use those features anymore."
"We would like to see an AI tool that detects issues with our site in real time."
