Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Understanding how the user was being targeted by the application as well as knowing their behavior using those applications.​""It gives us visibility into the product and what we are doing operationally.""The initial setup was straightforward. The documentation and the university helped on Dynatrace.""I find that the AI on offer is useful, as it's good at identifying problems. You do need a bit of customizing, however, even in its sort of vanilla form, it's pretty good at identifying problems and the root causes of those problems and whatnot.""Our main use is to monitor our applications for any issues that might arise and use the data to assure that our performance trending is headed in the right direction.""Dynatrace AppMon has allowed a deep dive review of performance problems in near real-time for our primary external website and related web apps and web services.""Comprehensive suite of solutions that can address all aspects of applications from dev to ops.""We got firsthand RCA as soon as we finished implementation."

More Dynatrace Pros →

"What was very compelling about OpsView was that we could dial out the noise and have meaningful and actionable alerts.""It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes.""I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution.""The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup.""We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider. We also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."

More Opsview Pros →

Cons
"There is a limitation on timeframe. Now, if you look at the dashboard, it will state five minutes, then 15 minutes, then one hour, then six hours, and finally 24 hours. I would like them to provide a set of options defining the business hour.""I would suggest to have more rich client features on Appmon as soon as possible.""There is still a bit of redundancy in Dynatrace.""The AI is not that intelligent and there are different places where it could be even more automated.""Dynatrace needs to improve its configuration.""They should include more mission learning into the product and provide additional performance metrics for application learning.""We would like to see more external tool integration, which is critical for us.""Needs support for more technologies."

More Dynatrace Cons →

"Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved.""Maybe the graphical representation can be improved. It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved.""Customized reporting can be improved.""In a future release, we would like to have Observ for AI. Any AI and intelligence it can add to the monitoring is obviously beneficial. We would also like to have automated callouts.""Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."

More Opsview Cons →

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."
  • More Dynatrace Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The solution is not cheap. I think that the pricing is a little bit on the high side."
  • "I would rate pricing a seven out of ten, where ten is the highest price."
  • "The solution is priced similarly to other tools offering similar features."

    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.
