We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and Elastic Observability based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Dynatrace is favored for its comprehensive features, real-user monitoring, session replay, and synthetic monitoring capabilities. It also has a highly praised AI engine for root cause analysis and offers good visibility and thorough scanning of services and applications.
"What I like about it, is how it auto-discovers everything rapidly; within a matter of seconds you get to see the business transaction and how it's mapped within the product itself."
"Simplified the way to monitor a medium to big environment."
"They have quick answers for scalability."
"You don't have to configure it. It just needs to be installed."
"Improved visibility on performance and application issues."
"In terms of explaining to a customer how their data works, it has been a great tool. Instead of trying to draw it out, then hoping that is exactly where the data goes."
"The user experience allows us to be able to gauge customer experience and understand the performance impact of our platform."
"The speed and problem resolution."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"The solution has been stable in our usage."
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"Regarding features, it would be good if there would be some features regarding app security."
"Provide much better alignment between AppMon and Dynatrace."
"They could spend more time and effort in creating brand awareness."
"A role-based view and a Python monitoring tool would make a simple user interface more usable."
"I think scalability is what we're struggling with. I would say it's okay, but there's a little bit of room for improvement."
"We found it was quite challenging in terms of the learning curve."
"It is necessary to improve the integration with the product, Oracle Siebel."
"I would like to see dashboards included, and maybe more possibilities in terms of customization."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"Elastic Observability is an excellent product for monitoring and visibility, but it lacks predictive analytics. Most solutions are aligned with the AIOps requirements, but this piece is missing in Elastic and should be included."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
