We performed a comparison between DX SaaS and Dynatrace 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."DX allows you to customize and gives you a high degree of control."
"It supports numerous platforms."
"Actionable insight is the most valuable feature."
"Of the entire stack, DC RUM and DT SaaS are definitely the most asked for in our offering catalog."
"Developers love the tool, because it is easy to use. They can immediately see how their code behaves."
"We scaled from 300 agents to 800 agents in six months. There were no issues at the server level, which is pretty good."
"A feature that's one of the highlights of Dynatrace is the AI. The second most valuable feature is OneAgent. Between infrastructures, applications, operating systems, you can deploy with just a single agent and can practically install and forget about it."
"We have not had any stability issues with it at all. This has been the most stable solution that I have worked with."
"Dynatrace alerts are based on deviations from the reference metrics which are constantly collected."
"The Recorder for setting up a synthetic monitor is a really great tool for non-technical staff to be able to set up a monitor."
"Google says is that you have a number of things on which you should measure your performance. One is if there's an error or not. Dynatrace tells you whether is an error or not. Second is saturation, whether something is getting saturated. You should be aware of what is getting saturated. Dynatrace even tells you that. The third is if there is a latency. Network latency is also told to me by Dynatrace."
"The ability to scale presents a challenge as the cost of handling vast amounts of data in the cloud must be taken into account."
"DX SaaS is a latecomer to the APM market. Some things that are straightforward in Dynatrace are complicated in DX. For example, upgrading the agents is a seamless process in Dynatrace, but it's a pain in DX SaaS. You should be able to upgrade in the Application Command Center. However, it is not working correctly."
"Old user interface and dashboards could be improved."
"There are a couple gaps in the network reporting that we would like to see cleared up a bit."
"Definitely something to be improved is that OneAgent runs as a route, and not all applications want to run as route. Part of the problem is different technology companies will have various rules, regulations, and policies around what can run as a route."
"It's not very scalable, we cannot add another server onto it."
"It needs a better way to figure out how to dig deeper into the details, e.g., sometimes we have to wade through multiple logs, etc."
"They need better infrastructure monitoring. New Relic is beating them for infrastructure monitoring."
"When the tool ingests data from other tools, being able to correlate those with the existing topology, so that the AI engine can draw more conclusions in case Dynatrace does not monitor those instances."
"When integrating this solution with any third party applications, there is an additional cost to pay. This can make the solution very costly to use."
"As we move into using more AWS native architectures, it should support everything that we want to do. We don't want to adopt another tool."
DX SaaS is ranked 49th in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability with 3 reviews while Dynatrace is ranked 2nd in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability with 342 reviews. DX SaaS is rated 6.6, while Dynatrace is rated 8.8. The top reviewer of DX SaaS writes "It's highly customizable but lacks many features of available in competing solutions". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Dynatrace writes "AI identifies all the components of a response-time issue or failure, hugely benefiting our triage efforts". DX SaaS is most compared with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, Nagios XI and Zabbix, whereas Dynatrace is most compared with Datadog, New Relic, AppDynamics, Splunk Enterprise Security and Azure Monitor.
