We performed a comparison between AppDynamics, Dynatrace, and Sysdig Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Elastic and others in Container Monitoring."It reduces the time to resolve issues and requires less manpower."
"Despite dozens of deployments across hundreds of applications- we have yet to see a case where AD is negatively impacting application execution or functionality."
"The solution helps us save a lot of time on certain tasks."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the fact that it is very easy to use, making it easy to implement...It is a very stable solution."
"Autodiscovery of application topology, based on real user traffic."
"Transition tracing is the most valuable is pretty easy and useful, but the user experience piece is also good."
"It has improved our organization with its ability to catch issues quickly and fix them."
"It gives me the ability to trace logs between transactions, for example, a DB transaction or JVM transaction from one hub to the other. I can easily find out where the problem is or where the bottleneck of the issues lies."
"I like the drill-down feature, that it can drill down to the code level to point to where the problems are. It's also helpful for the developers to identify what exactly happens, rather than the operation team having to do so. It works well for the developers to fix issues."
"Scalability is outstanding. It won't tax our environment at all as it will scale sideways."
"We enabled UEM for all of our applications. This allows us to see exactly what the client is experiencing."
"The solution's ability to assess the severity of anomalies based on the actual impact to users and business KPIs is great. It's exactly what we need. The severity impact is based on the users, the availability, and the impact it has on your business."
"It gives you a great level of detail into whatever the issue is: Using troubleshooting and getting to the root cause."
"Dynatrace is a single platform. It has all these different tools but they are actually all baked into the OneAgent technology. Within that OneAgent... you have the different tool sets. You have threat analysis, memory dumps, Java analysis, the database statements, and so on. It's all included in this OneAgent. So the management is actually quite easy."
"Provides more visibility into applications."
"Comprehensive suite of solutions that can address all aspects of applications from dev to ops."
"Docker containers are completely supported, kind of like "first class citizens"."
"The ability to stop/pause and capture logs when something happens is the most valuable feature."
"I would like to see more artificial intelligence and machine learning brought in to monitor the statement and payment sum issues we have."
"The QA and test environment need improvement."
"Rolling out version upgrades is a difficult job at times."
"This solution is expensive."
"We constantly need to improve our alert mechanism because we get a lot of false-positive alerts. These are not real errors. In addition, for end-user monitoring, sometimes, we are not able to catch all user activities. Because of not being able to follow the user activity from the start to the end, we are missing out on the performance issues."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"I would like to be able to monitor both cloud an on-prem infrastructures, displayed in one dashboard."
"The resolution time takes longer than expected."
"sometimes it happens that we are not able to capture things. For example, if a person is logged in from India, from the city of Mumbai, and is using a Chrome browser, and his email ID is xyz@abc.com. But what happens is, Dynatrace just fetches two pieces of the information, not all of it. Sometimes it gets it all, sometimes it doesn't."
"I think they're working on even more integration from external third party input, but that is ongoing. So the faster it's there the better. Clock monitoring is one of these areas where improvements can be made."
"I haven't had a chance to go through all of it, but I would like to see the ability, from an administrative standpoint, for it to collect statistics. I want to be able to see the servers that the agents are installed on. I want it to be able to start doing collections for me by platform: How many Linux servers do I have? How many Windows servers do I have? Statistically give me the information of how things are performing, but I want that in a dashboard, where I can look at a dashboard and I can look at a section. So the ability for me to drill down will make it easier for me."
"They could also, develop an observability platform where you could have the ability to inject events, locks, and traces."
"This solution needs improvement in terms of automation."
"Enterprise application monitoring for synthetic, as is, only captures http/https transactions."
"One thing we'd like to see is mobile native replay. They don't have a timeline on it yet, but that's one of the key things we're looking at, to get rid of one of our incumbent products that does replay."
"They should include more mission learning into the product and provide additional performance metrics for application learning."
""Events" reporting (errors, crashes, etc.) is not clear at all in a Mesos environment (i.e., it's not clear what specific container is the one that went down). In a Docker Compose environment, it may be way better."
"It is needs to automate the actions to take when an alert is triggered."
