Pricing and Cost Advice | |
"Pricing can be high, especially for Portuguese standards. But as one says, you get what you pay for." "Setup cost is very low considering that it is an almost totally, automatic process." "Licensing is very interesting, as you pay only for what is being monitored. A lot of things are given away for no additional cost. If you have a great IT consolidation, it will be pretty cheap. If you have a lot of servers, it will be heavier." "I have not been able to observe more than 1% overhead, despite Dynatrace saying that it can be slightly higher in some situations." "Our annual costs were about the same for both AppDynamics and Dynatrace." "It's more expensive than other solutions, but worth it. We use full APM monitoring on our primary systems, but only resource monitoring on lesser systems. We shift licenses around our environment when a deeper dive into lesser systems is required." "It's understandable to do a smaller scale initial evaluation. However, as you identify the product value, don't hesitant in your scope and scale to maximize the initial investment and your opportunity to do a bulk investment of the product." "The solution has saved us money through the consolidation of tools. With a hybrid landscape, we had multiple tools. When we consolidated, we removed four or five other monitoring tools with one. For the last ROI calculation that I did, Dynatrace was saving us up to $500,000 per year." | "The price is a little bit high, especially because we have to pay an import tax."
