We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and LiveAction LiveNX 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."The web dashboard is very simple to use."
"Never seen anything so complex be so simple to install."
"It highlights areas that we could be doing better and increases our performance metrics by showing the biggest pain points."
"Dynatrace alerts are based on deviations from the reference metrics which are constantly collected."
"The most valuable feature the solution offers right now is the PurePath. When we see a web request, and something failing, we can drill down using PurePath."
"We were quite happy with the easy installation process and how quickly we received a good overview over all of our web applications."
"The user interface is like a type of dashboard. You can use the tool as an end user into the tool interface, which is good."
"The benefits we receive using this tool increase productivity, which increase revenue."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"The scalability is there, but it is a headache when you do a lot of stuff and when you need to compare a lot of servers and do a lot of things. The scalability is very difficult to maintain."
"We should be able to easily simplify both the charting and slicing-and-dicing of user metrics with cookies that contain customer/user information."
"Regarding features, it would be good if there would be some features regarding app security."
"Network monitoring is lacking and could be improved."
"There is still a certain amount of technical skills needed to be able to understand what you are seeing on it. You also need a large amount of technical or infrastructure skills to understand how and where to install it."
"Monitoring asynchronous code requires manual instrumentation (most of the time)."
"The con of Dynatrace is that, at times, because it has so much information, it becomes difficult to see the root cause of your problem, and then you have to dig around to find the root cause."
"There continues to be some opportunity to expose the infrastructure from a broader reporting standpoint. Overall, the opportunity is in the reporting capability and the ability to more flexibly expose or pivot the data for deeper analysis. Oftentimes, the solution is good at looking narrowly at information, but when you want to broaden that perspective, that's where the challenges come in. At this point, it requires the export of data to external systems to do this."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
