"I like that it gives you a wide range of data where you can see the application outage response from concurrent locations and the number of stalled jobs."
"For the most part, we run constantly without any issue at this point because of APM."
"The ability to accomplish the identification of the root cause of problems with applications in drill-down level by integrating the suite with tools for managing and monitoring."
"It covers from mainframe, all the way to dotcom, for example. CA currently covers Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Office 365 monitoring."
"We did the setup for a new datacenter, and that was pretty straightforward."
"If we see something that we need to change or monitor, we can get it scripted pretty quickly."
"The time it takes to track problems in applications is the most valuable return that we have from this solution."
"I found the solution's end-to-end analysis and flexibility most valuable."
"Triggering gives us warning that system is getting slow and we need to nail down the issue soon, so it does not impact our business."
"Since we have been receiving alerts from Dynatrace, we go ahead and fix them without the user knowing about them."
"Reduces the amount of knowledge that is needed by applications consuming this data."
"The tool allows us to see if it is an infrastructural related issue and see what is affected right away."
"It helps us get to the resolution quicker, and potentially the root cause, and at least understand what is happening for future identification."
"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."
"The real user experience monitoring is very helpful. We can see what real users are seeing, what JavaScript errors, what pages are very slow for them. As well, it helps to correlate the front-end users to the back-end application components, and the corresponding Method which is failing, as well. We are able to go to the correct spot and fix the issue."
"Interrelating the logs and infrastructure issues, application issues, DC RUM, everything in one dashboard, saves us time in troubleshooting."
"CEM needs to be simplified, because it causes too many interruptions in our daily work."
"The technical support is very poor."
"In order for the tool to be successful, at least in our organization, it will need to have more self-serve features for implementation, instrumentation, and then modification of metric data from the APM."
"The front-end representation should match other competitors such as AppDynamics."
"I would like to see intelligence, deep intelligence or deep analytics."
"User Experience is a BIG one. Integration of all of APM components into one swift deployment."
"Needs custom dashboards."
"The upcoming changes for the deployment process of the agent will help a lot, in that others have gotten to that point first."
"The solution could improve by allowing more dashboards customization. This would allow us to monitor the metric better."
"Scalability has improved quite a bit from the beginning."
"The container platform could include more value-added features."
"I would like to have something more along the lines of the old DC RUM, because we have lot of clients with old technologies, legacy technology, and we really want to integrate it with Dynatrace so that they can use just one single product. So, it needs better integration with legacy products."
"The installation process had quite a few moving parts, so it was a little tricky getting everything to work in first go."
"The web version of the client interface needs more features that are in the Java-based thick client."
"Enterprise Synthetic of DC RUM can be made more robust."
"Beginner video tutorials would really help."
