We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and SolarWinds AppOptics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We had a very quick turnaround, and it solved our problems. We get more insights into what our code is doing, where the bottlenecks are. The tool helps us to find the root cause much faster than other tools in the market. Our team can then work with the engineering team to fix the problems at a much faster rate."
"It is nice to be able to deep dive and pull historical data."
"You don't have to configure it. It just needs to be installed."
"End-to-end visibility of the applications, since we have them instrumented. Understanding where the hotspots are in the applications."
"Performance has improved substantially since we started using it."
"Complete visibility into end-to-end user transactions."
"We monitor end-to-end availability of the application and deep dive PurePath analysis of real user visits."
"We are able to prevent the major downtimes by proactive monitoring alerts."
"Technical support is always live and they're supportive."
"The sum solution, NTA, and DPA."
"The product has a great dashboard."
"I have found the most valuable feature is application performance management."
"Some of the most valuable features of SolarWinds are the topology discovery and network performance analysis."
"The reporting of the solution is very good."
"Infrastructure monitoring could be improved."
"Possibly include some network monitoring capabilities."
"The integration with PagerDuty is currently broken on mobile."
"Documentation could be improved. E.g., you don't know how to properly use Dynatrace because documentation is almost lacking behind the features being deployed."
"The one thing I do not like about Dynatrace is that their web dashboards are very very slow. They seriously have to improve their web dashboard configuration and SSL timeouts."
"We have had problems with our middle layer application implementation."
"Our primary wish list for RFEs or feature requests are additional integration options with ticketing systems. Although, we are able to work around it, 'ticketing' is not a core function of the product."
"More visibility into Python processes."
"The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward."
"In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market."
"The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models."
"AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view."
