We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."We use it for monitoring all the applications in our bank, and it works fantastically."
"What I like about it, is how it auto-discovers everything rapidly; within a matter of seconds you get to see the business transaction and how it's mapped within the product itself."
"It gives us visibility into the product and what we are doing operationally."
"I am able to customize my dashboard based on the test requirement and it helps me to focus on the area that really needs close monitoring."
"The stuff that's coming with the new pieces around the Dynatrace Managed SaaS implementation. The ease of implementation there is significant. We've spent a lot of time with AppMon and DC RUM - that's a lot of time to set up, configure. With Managed solution, you just drop it in and everything pretty much auto-instruments."
"Its AI can tell us when something is wrong, including the impacts and the root cause."
"I have reduced our disruption time. With the automatic alerts, we prevent and better catch the root cause of problems."
"Capability to troubleshoot isolated customer complaints with the user session feature."
"The solution is very stable. We never had any issues with stability."
"IBM's main value lies in its integration with its own technologies, which can be seen as a benefit in environments where IBM products are extensively used."
"Every time we spin up an EC2 instance, we have to slap an agent on it and that is more work. So, if it could go agentless, that would be great."
"Dynatrace must reduce the required resources for on-premise, because they are too high."
"Searches should be faster."
"They should make hooks into some of the more modern performance testing tools a little easier. I think that would go a long way."
"I'd like to see the UI a bit more polished. For example, I saw a demo of the dashboards here at the Perform 2018 conference. There was a table of these widgets, but they're not sorted alphabetically and there's, like, 50 of them. So if you want to find your widgets, you're of scrolling up and down. So small features, being able to search for widgets, that things are more categorized; just a bit more focused on the user experience."
"They could also, develop an observability platform where you could have the ability to inject events, locks, and traces."
"When the tool ingests data from other tools, being able to correlate those with the existing topology, so that the AI engine can draw more conclusions in case Dynatrace does not monitor those instances."
"Some of the APIs and integrations are a bit tougher than others to integrate."
"The installation process is difficult, requiring continuous support and specialist expertise due to our limited knowledge of managing it effectively."
"The user interface was not good."
