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."
"We like the user's experience piece: being able to see, from the browser perspective, the user's behavior; being able to answer questions from our customers about why such and such happened, why the performance was slow, why we had an error."
"We spend less time on troubleshooting issues since Dynatrace proactively informs us of an impending bottle neck."
"We are using it on most of our platforms, which are on a big scale and across the globe."
"The alerting mechanism where you get millions of dependencies analyzed, in one alert or "problem" as Dynatrace calls it."
"The User experience monitor is a real added value."
"The best part of Dynatrace is that the tool is very lightweight and very easy to install."
"You can always get in touch with support representatives and the developers if you want to, and you can get the solution directly from them. They are good about giving customer service, which I really like."
"It gives us all the data on all the calls, which is something that is very different from any other APM solution that I have seen or used in the past."
"There are certain aspects of the configuration that could be simplified a bit."
"The one thing I am really missing is the final Azure dashboard."
"Experience with relationship/account manager has been really poor, it does not seem to be the firm's priority to support their customers."
"There are some bugs in it. Sometimes things get hung just for second, and you have to refresh something. Also, they aren't necessarily intuitive, but to me, they're just going to get better over time."
"I am unable to use Synthetic to automate user login."
"Dynatrace has APIs, but they are unfriendly APIs. If they were friendly like Splunk or Sumo Logic had, we might integrate that same data on a single webpage, then start showing these internally."
"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 solution could improve by allowing more dashboards customization. This would allow us to monitor the metric better."
"Needs more compatibility of platforms out-of-the-box."
