Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The initial setup was fairly easy."
"Dynatrace is heavily automated which is a big advantage. You don't have to configure a lot, it installs and it runs straight away. There's direct return on investment and you can focus on more interesting stuff than always have to configure and change the configurations. Issues or problems in detection is also fully automated, which is great."
"It is very stable. The improvements that they keep making just make the tool more useful."
"I like the drill-down feature, that it can drill down to the code level to point to where the problems are. It's also helpful for the developers to identify what exactly happens, rather than the operation team having to do so. It works well for the developers to fix issues."
"We enabled UEM for all of our applications. This allows us to see exactly what the client is experiencing."
"It reduces our efforts to identify services failing in production."
"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."
"It helps to improve code efficiency and has quicker performance analysis."
"Dynatrace is a powerful tool for full stack monitoring with APM capabilities and AI root cause problem analysis. This helps our customers with their digital transformation and gaining insight into their infrastructure."
"There are certain aspects of the configuration that could be simplified a bit."
"The only challenge is that it's an extensive tool that requires a significant amount of time to learn."
"It's not really user friendly. You need to go through a certain type of training."
"When it comes to monitoring, we did the integration with VMware vCenter, and we were able to see some good stuff. The VMware vCenter integration was really great, but what we really missed was the integration with the network management stuff such as Cisco ACI. We wanted to see integration in that area, but it was not provided by Dynatrace. So, the main feature for us is integration with things like Cisco ACI. If they can bring that one in, with vCenter in there, it would be a total solution. It would be absolutely incomparable to anything else in the market."
"I think at times AppMon has given some folks some headaches from a configuration standpoint, and a maintenance standpoint, but aside from that I don't think they've really had many headaches with it."
"It would be nice if there were a way that it could be made simpler, given the complexity of the things that we're monitoring."
"I would like to see the same features as in the New Relic Insights in the dashboard. That is the only thing I want to see improved in Dynatrace."
"We need more AI in the product to avoid manual analysis."
"More integrations could prove very beneficial to us."
