Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Finds issues that previously occupied people for months."
"We found Dynatrace is a robust tool which provides pretty good monitoring for a PCF environment"
"It is a 100 percent stable solution...Dynatrace is a highly scalable product since it is a SaaS-based application."
"It is getting to the point that the CTO of the organization knows the tool by first name and will look to have it brought up, because it is so consistent, reliable, and a cornerstone for solving problems."
"Support from Dynatrace is excellent. They are always on hand for any queries, demos, and/or issues."
"The product installs quickly and immediately. It begins to learn the architecture of the systems which need to be monitored. It then learns what “normal” looks like, so there really is no need for manual configuration."
"With the latest version, the AI engine highlights the root causes automatically."
"If you look in the APM sector, it is a very nice package to install."
"One of the best features is the reports feature."
"Technical support is very helpful with our upgrades."
"The set up was very easy. We didn't have any problems with the setup. The deployment took less than an hour."
"SolarWinds is reasonably priced."
"I like the tracking feature to track devices and see where they are connected. This is very practical."
"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"Monitoring capabilities are at a high level and it is easy to see utilization, access ports, and CPU memory in real time or through a lens for long-term visualization."
"It is scalable."
"The GUI has the most room for improvement. Sometimes, it can be a little cumbersome to find things and be able to create your own views, or be able to dig in and understand where things are."
"Richer, deeper partner channel: It needs to expand and deepen the business use cases, where their solutions can help."
"Dynatrace needs to improve its configuration."
"It often produces "false alarms" and cannot identify failure patterns over days/weeks that do not indicate concern."
"Improve Dynatrace for the following industries: telco, eCommerce, and banking."
"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."
"Needs a clearer view for Smartscape."
"Another area for improvement is that I would like the alerting to be set up a little bit more easily. Currently, it takes a lot of work to add alerting, especially if you have a large environment, and I consider our environment to be quite large. The alerting takes a lot of administration."
"We'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
"I would like to see integration with antivirus or other security endpoint solutions."
"The only real caveat that we have or that I have an issue with is when I go on vacation, it's a little hard for me to go and modify alerts so that I don't get alerted about things when I'm on vacation."
"The SolarWinds notification and alerting configuration could be simplified as it would be easier to find if it was within the NPM web application instead of in a separate client application."
"There isn't support available to us as they don't offer support in our country."
"They need to work on their automation and automatically discover devices. They are not very good at automatically discovering devices."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve by adding the deepest inspection, performance networking, and IP address discovery."
"My team has had a lot of issues with support."
