Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It allows you to better utilize and focus your talent, and tell management that you are not only looking at problems, but how you can ultimately make the product better for the end user."
"Real user monitoring is one of the best things in solution. The possibility to analyze any particular user session is wonderful."
"Dynatrace's new AI stuff really out shines its competitors. "
"Gives systems back-end visibility, allows for proactive monitoring, and improves the user's experience."
"It is much easier to deploy, maintain, and delivery of high value insights, which almost immediately lowers the mean time to value and resolution of issues."
"It has given us one simple dashboard to monitor all of our servers and web applications."
"By using Dynatrace Managed, we have improved customer satisfaction and have also helped internal teams and subcontractors make the application more stable."
"The stability for the solution is pretty solid overall."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the tool's GUI. The solution's GUI is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Grafana Loki is the dashboards which are really simple to create."
"The log collection feature is good and the solution is easily understandable. v"
"I appreciate the capability to process logs from microservices and seamlessly integrate them into Grafana."
"The tool can be used in multi-cluster environments."
"We are using Grafana Loki as a database for real-time metrics."
"The effectiveness of filters is pivotal for optimizing the search process and extracting the specific information we need from the extensive log data."
"Loki also utilizes the same service discovery mechanism as used by Prometheus. So, whatever labeled metadata you see in Prometheus, you have the exact same metadata in the Loki system. Given this level of intricacy and the attempt to address these challenges, I firmly believe that Loki deserves praise for the work."
"Some of the APIs and integrations are a bit tougher than others to integrate."
"The AI is not that intelligent and there are different places where it could be even more automated."
"It needs .NET core support to the level of Java."
"Right now, there is a log analysis feature. This is maybe a little more deeper than the log analytics in comparison to other tools, like Splunk or Sumo Logic. If Dynatrace can come up with this replay feature, that would be great."
"I would say that this solution's reports are lacking a little bit, and because of this, you have to rely on API to fetch and pull data. I think they could have done a bit of a better job by providing a more user-friendly search from a reporting perspective."
"They need better infrastructure monitoring. New Relic is beating them for infrastructure monitoring."
"I would like to see internal synthetic tests in the next release, which is already on the roadmap."
"With Dynatrace in our environment, the managed server required root access to run. As a government agency with tight security, this has been an audit concern for us."
"My main concern is the recommended production-grade setup. They suggest using tools like Tanka or Jsonnet. They should simplify the process to increase adoption."
"Enhancing speed could be a game-changer, and while it might vary depending on the application, it's a factor worth exploring."
"Visualization-wise, Grafana Loki's dashboard looks a little outdated compared to other open-source visualization tools like Chronograf."
"We encountered certain limitations when it came to alerting, particularly when dealing with specific data sources."
"The solution has shortcomings regarding security monitoring-oriented features that need improvement."
"The Docker container partition feature needs improvement as they do not reuse the space and goes into a pending state."
"There is a need for some change in the alerting types of the product. In short, a few changes in the alert area are needed due to minor shortcomings."
"The correlation of requests is not simple in Grafana Loki and can be improved."
