We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and Honeycomb.io based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Dynatrace provides visibility into the application and its performance from the user to back-end services."
"The Davis artificial intelligence built-in program is valuable. It keeps all the information about the systems, connections, service calls, and requests in its database. It looks at response times and keeps everything in check with baseline figures. If anything goes outside of that baseline, it reports based on that. If the performance starts degrading, it reports on that. Before something breaks, it tells you that it is going to break, and that's the most useful feature of Dynatrace."
"Dynatrace shows the customer path, common errors on desktop and mobile, and allows us to achieve faster page loads."
"Dynatrace provides probable root cause for any issues which assists our support team to quickly address issues identified by Dynatrace."
"It prevents (together with performance testing) production performance issues which usually result in customer complaints or system downtime."
"It creates visibility - from when the user starts interacting with our application - all the way back to our database calls, our network path, everything."
"PureStack, I just love it. It can give visibility from the end-user perspective right through to the code level. That's the most valuable feature."
"We got firsthand RCA as soon as we finished implementation."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward since we were getting enough support from Honeycomb.io's team."
"The real complexity that I've seen with Dynatrace is to learn how to navigate through all the options in the troubleshooting process. We have a lot of ways to evaluate the same problem. We had some difficulties in the beginning with the use of the product, but after some time and some experience we have overcome this problem."
"Dashboards are too clumsy, so it is good to keep less on dashboards and be easier to find the sections."
"The next release I would like to see is especially with external API monitoring. Right now, everything goes into one bucket, but if it were split into which API is failing, that way we wouldn't have to drill down to find out where the failures are."
"I would like to see the ability to pull more user-friendly reports."
"Needs a clearer view for Smartscape."
"Under heavyweight, Dynatrace becomes slower when listing PurePaths."
"Its price, for sure, should be improved. Its price is quite high. Other than the price, there are always improvements to be made as technologies change. When we move into cloud-based technologies, Dynatrace will also have to adapt so that they can monitor those as well. It should have the adaptability to quickly transform to monitor those new technologies."
"It would be nice to get the AI piece into AppMon."
"The process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team."
