"Synthetic Web Monitoring allows us to automatically react to any issues regarding site reliability."
"I think with Dynatrace, it has helped to bring value to the business because now we can speak using the same language."
"The ability to really drill into performance issues and help our application teams understand what is causing the business's problems."
"The linking is very good in Dynatrace. What happens in other monitoring tools is the linking is not proper. In those solutions, a person has to manually link many of the layers and what is happening in them, while in Dynatrace you get that from the very first visit. For example, if a person is visiting your website, from there it will traverse you to the end. If the application is a Java application, it will traverse you there, to the Method level. So that linking and traversing is better in Dynatrace."
"It reduces time and provides detailed info, showing problem correlation, and a single point of diagnosis."
"We are using Dynatrace for prediction and staging for every step of our development cycle."
"The monitoring is very good."
"The most valuable features are monitoring and reporting."
"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"
"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."

"If we can gain more insight into older applications, using not-so-recent technologies, then it would be a plus."
"Two things that can be improved are the licensing and the Business dashboard."
"A role-based view and a Python monitoring tool would make a simple user interface more usable."
"I would like to see single pane monitoring."
"The reporting could be better."
"Setting up the thresholds and alerting, it is complicated to understand their use cases."
"If you want to see a month's data, it keeps on spinning. Here is an improvement which needs to happen, which is the case with all applications or tools. There is a lot of data, and either we have to change the way we are logging or the application needs to be enhanced."
"Technical support could use some improvement."
"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI."
"I would like to see better integration with other products."
"Some of the functions could improve by making them easier."
