We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and Wireshark 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."By using Dynatrace, we can set up the agents to provide alerts at the JVM level."
"We are not blind anymore with our digital services performance; no more fire fighting."
"There is a strong user community. There is no need to talk to the technical support, because all the questions which I have had, all the solutions were in the documentation. Or, I have been able to post a question to the user community and get an answer within a day or two."
"You can do deep dive analysis and find root cause quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can drill down to the code level and get a breadth of information."
"Triggering gives us warning that system is getting slow and we need to nail down the issue soon, so it does not impact our business."
"In my experience, Dynatrace is scalable."
"The technical support has always been responsive."
"Setup is very easy. It's also possible to change source code and compile if you want to change something in the code, because it's free."
"What's best about Wireshark is that it doesn't require installation. It supports cards and monitoring permissions and is sufficient for appending and capturing activities. You won't need to install other tools to use Wireshark, so this saves you time. You can capture packets at any time from your laptop through Wireshark."
"Wireshark's best feature is that it's adaptive, which means it's the go-to tool for network-related developers."
"I find Wireshark a very useful tool. Its best feature is that it allows me to deeply understand what's going on at the packet level, as well as any adverse signatures that I can analyze. When I need to create an IPS rule, I need to check the traffic deeply to get more insights about the actual traffic, what's the name of certain flags, etc., and I'm able to do all that through Wireshark. The tool is also user-friendly."
"It has a good syntax to put the commands in and get information out of."
"The best part about Wireshark, in my opinion, is its ability to analyze packet capture files."
"The most valuable feature is the traffic gate, which shows which IPs are getting more bandwidth or traffic."
"The solution is easy to install and use."
"Where we are struggling is being able to pull that information out and combine it with other contextual information that we have in other sources. Mining that data in a big-data environment, and joining it together and coming up with larger types of analysis on it."
"We'd like it to be more user-friendly, which, in our case, might be a big ask as we have a fairly complex environment."
"The mobile app provided by Dynatrace could be improved, especially the DCR mobile app because it does not have some of the basic functions, like push notifications or even customized reports."
"We would like to see an AI tool that detects issues with our site in real time."
"The solution's ability to assess the severity of anomalies based on the actual impact to users and business KPIs is great. In my opinion, it could be extended even more. I would like it to be more configurable for the end-user. It would be nice to have more business rules applicable to the severity. It's already very good as it is now. It is based on the impact on your front-end users. But it would be nice if we could configure it a bit more."
"I would like to have something more along the lines of the old DC RUM, because we have lot of clients with old technologies, legacy technology, and we really want to integrate it with Dynatrace so that they can use just one single product. So, it needs better integration with legacy products."
"I would like to see Dynatrace be more user-friendly. Sometimes there are too many options to use from, which is good, but it can become confusing on how to proceed."
"Some of the APIs and integrations are a bit tougher than others to integrate."
"We would like the product to be developed so that it doesn't rely on internet access for installation. We would like to see all of the components required to be integrated into the installer."
"The only thing that I don't like is sometimes there is an update, and something that I was using is either no longer there or it has changed."
"The product has been using the same GUI for many years."
"I would like better control of bandwidth from the service provider."
"It is not an easy program. You will need to study to use it to its full capabilities (follow a course)."
"Wireshark could be improved with a delay option when getting data automatically."
"It needs the ability to follow multiple interfaces for specific traffic from different network zones/virtual networks. It would help to understand how any packet is going through the network."
"This product needs to improve the UI."
