"Scalable, stable, and easy to deploy APM tool which effectively monitors code-level visibility."
"The insight it gives into the applications that it's actually applied to, and the flexibility to do many things with those metrics, and also feed your own metrics from external sources."
"Enables me to monitor multiple servers, applications, resources, and users"
"Deep Dive and Transaction Analysis Triage capability."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is its user interface."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"I found the solution's end-to-end analysis and flexibility most valuable."
"Stability is one of the strongest attributes of CA APM. It is very stable on all platforms."
"It is very stable. The improvements that they keep making just make the tool more useful."
"We purchased some coaching sessions and utilized those, which were very useful."
"The ability to use PurePath in analytics is definitely the most valuable feature. It helps you pinpoint issues, then develop and focus them in the right way."
"We have not had any stability issues with it at all. This has been the most stable solution that I have worked with."
"The solution's ability to assess the severity of anomalies based on the actual impact to users and business KPIs is great. It's exactly what we need. The severity impact is based on the users, the availability, and the impact it has on your business."
"In terms of explaining to a customer how their data works, it has been a great tool. Instead of trying to draw it out, then hoping that is exactly where the data goes."
"Auto alerting and reporting on the application and the infrastructure aid us in delivering our service with greater value."
"Customers are looking at our site, every second, constantly. They're able to do that because, if for some reason it goes down, I can instantly get it back up, because I know what needs to be fixed. In the past, before having the tool, we were being notified by the brand, or the brand manager, "Hey, customers are complaining that our site is down." And then there was me, as a developer, trying to track down what was causing this issue. With Dynatrace, it's right there in front of me, it's a JavaScript error, or something I can narrow down."
"The initial setup is complex."
"User Experience is a BIG one. Integration of all of APM components into one swift deployment."
"Improve the targeting interface is to make it more user-friendly and current."
"System incident analysis and performance monitoring need improvement."
"The reports are a key part of APM in my vision because it is through them that we manage to generate the evidence to direct the development team and operational support to address. However, we can not extract the information of the tool through reports. We have needed several times to use screen print screen, CTRL + C and CTRL + V."
"Upgradability to it is a project instead of a patch. If it was actually an automated process to where it just fed updates to our product that would be great. Now, we have to spin up an effort to actually upgrade the solution."
"As applications move to the cloud, we need more cloud-based solutions from CA APM. This is currently unavailable."
"We need more capabilities to analyze the information that tools collects; for example, using artificial intelligence, or something like that."
"This solution needs more powerful database monitoring capabilities."
"The thread traceability is something that needs improvement."
"I would say that this solution's reports are lacking a little bit, and because of this, you have to rely on API to fetch and pull data. I think they could have done a bit of a better job by providing a more user-friendly search from a reporting perspective."
"We do not have any web monitoring with Dynatrace."
"For AppMon, in order to use the rich client especially, I think you have to be somebody who is in there more often than not. It's not necessarily as intuitive as it could be."
"Possibly include some network monitoring capabilities."
"The reporting could be better."
"C language integration requires manual implementation through the SDK, which is rather difficult and time consuming."
