Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Ease of problem detection and alerting, visual timeline, and user-sessions are some of the best features of Dynatrace."
"Great tool for deep diving into performance data and tracking issues through all the connected systems to better diagnose and pinpoint the real issues."
"We can know exactly what happened in what time with PurePath."
"Dynatrace has reduced our total headcount in operations and the mean time to detect and resolve problems. As a result, those challenging offline times are much shorter, if not non-existent, because of this solution."
"No one else works with security gateways. I am able to configure those perfectly well within the banking and FDIC infrastructure to pass audits."
"Adds value to application owners, DB owners, and provides visibility on how end users utilize browsers and where they are originate from."
"Triggering gives us warning that system is getting slow and we need to nail down the issue soon, so it does not impact our business."
"It helps to show where the problem is and isolates the issue."
"Some of the most valuable features of SolarWinds are the topology discovery and network performance analysis."
"I have found the most valuable feature is application performance management."
"The sum solution, NTA, and DPA."
"The reporting of the solution is very good."
"The product has a great dashboard."
"Technical support is always live and they're supportive."
"Nginx monitoring service did not work out-of-the-box, so we had to tinker with it for quite some time."
"Possibly include some network monitoring capabilities."
"Under heavyweight, Dynatrace becomes slower when listing PurePaths."
"Cloud monitoring and reporting need improvement, as well as how to manipulate data and export it to share with business executives."
"The AppMon 6.5 is problematic in configuring. It is little finicky. When we configured the JVM, it did not work."
"Some of the APIs and integrations are a bit tougher than others to integrate."
"We have had problems with our middle layer application implementation."
"Make sure older frameworks, like PHP 5.3, are supported."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models."
"I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market."
"The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward."
"In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products."
"AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view."
