Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It provides a lot of customer insight, understanding the customer's needs, understanding the customer's issues, and it gives me a more proactive approach to solving a customer problem before it happens.""With Google Analytics, you choose what performance metrics you want to have reported, but with AppPulse Mobile, you have a global vision of what is really happening inside your app.""Customer are able to develop more quickly versions in which users can see the application to correct and monetize it.""The speed that you can get AppPulse out there was the brightest spot of this whole process.""It identifies transactions and flows of the operations that our customers use with our mobile application.""The thing that I like about AppPulse is that it's easy application to install and an easy application to use to provide information for our customers.""The application is easy to use, as it is friendly and graphic.""We can collect data about the user experience and see how the user is behaving with the app, or check the behavior of the app itself."

"PurePath gives a lot of flexibility in identifying issues and finding the flow of execution.""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.""It creates visibility - from when the user starts interacting with our application - all the way back to our database calls, our network path, everything.""Dynatrace's new AI stuff really out shines its competitors. ​""Mean time to recover (MTTR) has reduced significantly during major outages due to specific data pinpointed by DT applications.""The solution has a very good user interface.""This monitoring capability gives us the ability to measure the end-user experience.""It can hook on at the code level, then tell me all the details that I need."

Cons
"The one that sticks out in my mind is some flexibility to do recurring downtime.""It could be better if you had any of the reports that the customers asked from us, for example, punctually. Unfortunately, the reporter is not that practical.""I would love if AppPulse delivered more details about my users, for example, age and sex. It could split up the users into categories based on how frequently they use my product.""The regulations should be better customized for the kind of data that we cannot send to the SALs environment.""Currently, the information for management teams and technical teams are in the same view, but it would be useful if we could separate these views.""I think they can improve the feature that identifies the operating systems, the brand of the devices, the response time, geolocalization.""It needs compatibility for Windows Mobile, because I think AppPulse doesn't have Windows Mobile.""The ability to get CI information from AppPulse into OMi."

More AppPulse Suite [EOL] Cons →

"If we can gain more insight into older applications, using not-so-recent technologies, then it would be a plus.""One thing I'm missing and that is the JMX from the MBeans, it's missing completely.""If the user interface were made more intuitive then it would really benefit the product.""Ability to better identify SDQ script errors would be helpful.""If there was something that could be done at a local developer's station, something like, "Hey, here's a hint, this thing looks like it might not be optimized," or the like. I think more development features, to hedge that performance would be good.""Enterprise Synthetic of DC RUM can be made more robust.""Nginx monitoring service did not work out-of-the-box, so we had to tinker with it for quite some time.""Custom reporting capabilities should be extended, because it now has basic charting capabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It was a no-brainer from a cost perspective compared to the other tools that we buy as an IT organization."
  • More AppPulse Suite [EOL] Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing is based on the number of servers monitored, so for big applications, it is a bit expensive."
  • "Licensing is a bit complicated for Dynatrace, and pricing is dependent on how much your organization invests."
  • "We found an issue within the first week of ownership that has been costing us more than the entire license cost."
  • "Product pricing can seem a little over complex, however this is minor and does not detract from the benefits of the solution."
  • "Getting the first agents installed, getting information, and coverage in a initial set of systems can be done in hours and with a low cost entry point."
  • "Price (of the product) is a major concern for all the clients I work with."
  • "The licensing model is confusing in solutioning clients for the number of hosts needed to deploy."
  • "The product is superior to others, but it comes with a price tag that is often difficult to position back to clients."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Dynatrace is the only solution that provides answers to organizations based on deep insight into each user, transaction, and organization's environment.

    Barry P., a managing performance engineer at Medica Health Plans, writes, "With Dynatrace, we have synthetic checks and real-user monitoring of all of our websites, places where members and providers can interact with us over the web. We monitor the response times of those with Dynatrace, and it's all integrated into one place."

    A consultant at a tech service company notes, "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."
