We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and SolarWinds Pingdom 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."Dynatrace gives us and our clients information about all layers and components of their platform, including the most important starting point for us: real-time and historical end user experience."
"Dynatrace alerts are based off of deviations from baseline metrics, which it is constantly collecting."
"Reduced MTTR, thanks to smart problem detection and automated root cause analysis."
"The most valuable feature of the solution would be the level of visibility that you get. I haven't seen anything that gives us that level of visibility yet"
"During the building of a system that is new, there are a lot of bugs. Being in the cloud it is very difficult, sometimes, to diagnose where the issues are. Dynatrace gives us that deep insight into errors."
"I think one of the most valuable features is the Dynatrace API, for both metrics and configuration."
"The PurePath stuff for deep dive analysis on problems. That is massive as far as having a benefit."
"Since things are getting more complicated, it is nice to have artificial intelligence to correlate issues and events to come up with root cause."
"There are alerting mechanisms in place to let us know, for example, if a device is not responding to a ping test and is probably not going to work."
"One notable feature of this software is its page speed setup, which is highly commendable. Additionally, the metrics it provides are also impressive."
"Once you set the threshold on your environment, it feels very real-time"
"The most valuable features are monitoring and reporting."
"It needs certain UI changes to make going back to certain Windows easier. Certain windows open up in a different category with different set values and throw you off if you are not used to it."
"Adding people to alerts has not been very intuitive. That's really my only negative feedback."
"There are a couple gaps in the network reporting that we would like to see cleared up a bit."
"Under heavyweight, Dynatrace becomes slower when listing PurePaths."
"They could have a better user interface, better automation, better support for cloud-based, and SaaS applications."
"I would like to see single pane monitoring."
"Needs more compatibility of platforms out-of-the-box."
"We have a very stringent budget for an infrastructure solution. Maybe if they provided modules, a simple module with fewer features and a lower price, that would be very good."
"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI."
"Technical support could use some improvement."
"I would like to see better integration with other products."
"Some of the functions could improve by making them easier."
