We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager 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."Simplified the way to monitor a medium to big environment."
"I like the full-stack agents, the Oneagents, and the futures dynamic."
"Given the full-stack approach, you are able to view from the end user perspective, almost down to the bare metal."
"Dynatrace alerts are based off of deviations from baseline metrics, which it is constantly collecting."
"The ability for Dynatrace to identify the root cause of problems in a timely manner through its powerful AI capability and dependency mapping is a real value add for the service that we offer."
"I can review behaviors, trending issues, and resolve issues before they impact our clients."
"We can see all the degradation of services in real-time, then we know exactly what the root cause of degradation is."
"Developers love the tool, because it is easy to use. They can immediately see how their code behaves."
"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."
"There was complexity to AppMon and getting everything set, but more specifically getting the dashboard setup."
"We have a couple of one page apps that it has a problem with because it doesn't call to the server all the time. I believe part of that is taken care of in the next version."
"It needs improvement with proprietary protocols for the DC RUM part."
"Include network monitoring in more detail for deep dive analytics of network components."
"I still don't see the full depth of database metrics for database performance management. For example, I use Oracle Enterprise Manager and I use a type of access that provides me a lot of metrics and meaningful ways to evaluate database performance. That is something I don't see in Dynatrace yet."
"We found it was quite challenging in terms of the learning curve."
"Its infra monitoring is not that good. They are mainly into the APM environment, such as network monitoring and other things. Strong end-to-end infrastructure monitoring is missing. SNMP monitoring is currently not very good in this solution."
"It definitely needs HA, because we have so many applications that are dependent on AppMon that it has been deemed critical. Any downtime, it just affects so many users. So that's one of our key asks for the future."
"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."
