Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Our annual costs were about the same for both AppDynamics and Dynatrace. 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. Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace is excellent. The pricing and licensing are very expensive. Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was a pretty straightforward process. We had no hiccups. | Information Not Available |
