"You can customize alerts based on need."
"The most valuable feature of Avantra is automation. The reduction of manual work and having them automated is one of the top reasons why I would use it."
"Great for monitoring critical internal and public-facing applications."
"Dynatrace is a powerful tool for full stack monitoring with APM capabilities and AI root cause problem analysis. This helps our customers with their digital transformation and gaining insight into their infrastructure."
"The benefit for our company is that we have one direction and one main solution."
"The most valuable features are end user visibility, Smartscape, and the entire visibility of our data center, including SQL queries."
"It seems to be very stable. We have not had any outages attributed to the product."
"From a diagnosing standpoint, it has been a game changer. Before, we did not have monitoring, so anytime there was an issue, it was just guess-and-check."
"OneAgent, the new platform of Dynatrace, it is called artificial intelligence (AI), so basically that artificial intelligence correlates multiple infrastructure competence transactions services and application processes. It is one of the most important features, so when there is a fire break, you do not have to go multiple hops to go look where exactly the issue is."
"Real user monitoring is one of the best things in solution. The possibility to analyze any particular user session is wonderful."
"We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."
"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"Whenever there is a new version the UI changes, it makes it hard to use, because we are accustomed to the old one."
"There are lots of features to share information, but we need to learn to leverage that, both on the web browser and on the mobile app."
"When you're making that transition from AppMon, which is very dashboard-oriented, over to Dynatrace, which is no dashboards, there needs to be something in between so that business buys in a little bit. I would transition my dashboards over so that we don't have to recreate them, because recreating them is very difficult in Dynatrace. It's really hard to say, "Oh, the dashboards that you had on the team that you were using, you're not going to get over here." Or, "You have to re-create them all over again." People are going to ask questions about cost, who is going to do that."
"The Web UI can be slow and hard to understand."
"They could also, develop an observability platform where you could have the ability to inject events, locks, and traces."
"We have multiple tenants. If you have them up at the same time, you can't see in the UI which tenant you're in. It doesn't tell you."
"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."
"I would like to see single pane monitoring."
