Dynatrace Stability
BP
Barry Pieper
Manager, Performance Engineering at Medica Health Plans
I had one problem early on with WebLogic where Dynatrace was not stable and it would actually affect the ability of one of the WebLogic components. It was instrumented because we thought we needed it to be, but it didn't need to be. When we decided not to instrument it the problem went away.
But that's the only stability issue I've ever had with it. That was the only time it's caused an outage or been responsible for high resource consumption. Typically the OneAgent is well under 1 percent CPU utilization and takes very little memory.
It's used constantly by several teams. They use the Dynatrace mobile app on their phones to get notified of problems in the environment before ServiceNow even notifies them. Our platform services team, which is the team responsible for the HealthEdge environment — if we were a bank, it would be all the backroom functions. It is where you pay claims, enroll members, credential providers and maintain all that stuff. That support team has it on their phones. Our portal team also has the mobile app, so it's used constantly. I hear about it when it's not available, or if there's something odd going on with the mobile app.

The stability has been phenomenal. I'm not going to say that Dynatrace has never had an outage, but I've never had an outage where Dynatrace wasn't available for me. It's always been there. It's always there when I need it. It's always on. Our uptime is five-nines, and we do attribute a large portion of our ability to maintain that figure to Dynatrace.

Donald Hall
Manager, Ecommerce Support at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees
It is remarkably stable. They push out new releases of the SaaS application every two to three weeks. Dynatrace has a super active development schedule on their side. When they push out the release to us, all we have to do is push our JavaScript component back out to the website to allow it to go out to our users' browsers. Dynatrace has never gone down a single time in the 18 months that we've been using it. It's never been down when we needed it, and it's always collected the data that we need to analyze when we go into it.
Dynatrace itself doesn't really break, but the website does on occasion lose connectivity with a given API vendor, whether it's a payment processor or one of our other API pieces. Dynatrace is very good at alerting us when that happens, but we're not using any sort of self- healing capacity for that. What we do is we get alerted when those APIs aren't available or when a web page has an issue. My team gets alerts on a 24/7 pager basis, then we go in and investigate to resolve them.
The solution has given me a better view into uptime, in terms of how much downtime our website has. However, the Salesforce Commerce Cloud solution is remarkably solid. We rarely have downtime. Even during the holiday season for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we've had zero percent downtime for the last two years. From one perspective, it does let us know when the site is down using the synthetic monitor. The good news is that it has not had to give us much data because the site just doesn't go down.

We don't put very much stress on it. We could probably stress it some more, but we don't have enough systems right now on it to stress it. For the most part, the ships don't cause as much stress.
We are going to have it on about 40 ships around the world which will run it independently of our AWS platform. Those are don't stress it too much. We will probably stress it at a certain point, along with AWS, but we still very much growing the platform.
View full review »Stability is where the "fairly satisfied" comes in. I think it's also due to our environment and having multiple servers hosting dual instances of AppMon, where we've seen a few challenges. We do work with the vendor. However, because we've had instances of down AppMon servers, although we can recover fairly quickly, one of the key pieces that is missing is having high availability. I believe it's coming in 7.1, so it's on the roadmap, we just wish it would be sooner.

It is very stable with frequent updates and feature expansions.
View full review »As far as the new tool goes, we haven't had any issues with stability at all. I'm really impressed with the way they've architected it and made it much more scalable than the AppMon solution.
We've had some challenges with AppMon in the past, mostly due to the top-end Dynatrace server not having an HA solution, which they're addressing now with the new version. So that's a big win for us as well.
These things, when they first started out, were kind of neat and cool but they were never considered mission critical early on. Fast forward a few years to now, and nobody can afford the Dynatrace solution not being online. People are using it to support their apps. It is considered mission critical. So having HA built in, making this stuff rock solid, is very important to us.
I would rate the stability of this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

It has very high availability.
When we started, we were measuring uptime in a different way, and then Dynatrace started measuring uptime based on services, as opposed to infrastructure. Initially, because we started using different metrics for availability, it showed us that we weren't available as much as we thought we were. This helped us to have better conversations with customers and improved availability from the customer perspective over time.

I have noticed a few times where data collection did get interrupted. It was two or three times within the past year. Obviously, it's our monitoring system and we don't want that to go down at all. However, three times for no more than 30 minutes each time is pretty good.

We haven't had any issues with the stability of Dynatrace, and it's been running for a long time. We use the Managed environment, so it's an on-prem service, but it's quite stable. We are doing the updates pretty regularly. They come in every month but we are doing them every two or three months. First we do them in the test phase and then in the production phase.

View full review »With stability, I have never run into issues with Dynatrace causing an issue yet.
I have run into AppMon causing issues. There have been a lot times when I have waited for a release. AppMon does the release, then it ends up taking down our application. Now, the fix is immediate, but I have already loss face.
The last time, I took down the main application that lets you call tow trucks. It was just a monitoring loop, a simple thing. They fixed it in a patch. They knew about the issue and they told me immediately what the issue was. I got it fixed in 15 minutes. It took me six months to convince the team to install it in the first place and took me another seven for them to give me another shot at it. It was not a problem that showed up in QA, for whatever reason. So, I could not convince them that it does not exist anymore, because I could not show them any evidence that it existed in the first place. Let alone that I fixed it.
We have not had any stability issues with it at all. This has been the most stable solution that I have worked with. I have been in IT for over 22 years and the solution that we have implemented here in the last six months has been the most stable solution that I have worked with in all my 22 years in IT.

I'm pretty impressed with the stability.
With the AWS version, you can access the updates through the browsers, not worrying about the tick line.
With the on-premise version, you need to use the tick line for updates. There are times when architects, who do not use the product constantly, find their stage and production options out of sync, then they need to have two tick lines on the same system.

We operate services for our customers with pretty high SLAs. We guarantee the systems we run are reliable. We also guarantee uptime. In the past three years, we have run up to 50 updates with Dynatrace and had only one or two issues where the system had to be brought down. There are almost no issues at all with stability. It is rock-solid.
They are improving constantly with every release and adding new stuff. We have updates about every two weeks.

View full review »The stability has been wonderful for the couple of years that I have been involved with it. It has really been the key tool of choice that anytime anything goes down anywhere, it is typically the tool that is shown on the big screen in front of everybody or shared through a Skype session. It is getting to the point that the CTO of the organization knows the tool by first name and will look to have it brought up, because it is so consistent, reliable, and a cornerstone for solving problems.
View full review »It is stable, but slow. We have a managed solution. We do not have a set solution.
View full review »There have been problems, but nothing that we could not figure out. There have been a couple issues where agents have caused issues with applications, but you could chalk that up to QA testing or other stuff. Overall, it has been a good product.
View full review »This is an interesting question. We've had our challenges in the past because our primary tool over the five years has been AppMon, and AppMon has had a series of evolutions. We started with the 4.2 version and we've come all the way to version 7 at this point. It was never intended to be a high-availability solution or a clustered solution, and some of those improvements have been made more recently. But historically, it was fragile.
Like I said, I have a very large implementation. Over six thousand agents with AppMon. Some of our servers are very highly loaded, over a thousand agents, and when we talk about our online banking, mobile banking platforms, we drive significant load and it can really impact the viability of the servers.
To be fair, we were pushing the product to its limits, and it even prompted some of the architectural changes within Dynatrace itself, and within the AppMon tool, to allow for larger footprints. But generally, and lately, it's been extremely stable.

With respect to stability, this is not a system that gives users access to the low level. Rather, they interact with the agents. That said, we have had some stability issues with a number of our agent deployments for our customers. One example is that the AI engine was not giving the proper output, based on what the input was.

Dynatrace's stability is solid - it performs updates very often, so it's always the latest and greatest in a good way.
View full review »In terms of stability, it is ok and we have had no issues reported so far.
View full review »The product is evolving, maybe too fast; maybe it is a little bit fragmented of an evolution. It is sort of expected in a way because the company, in my impression, is spending a lot more money. It is a function of the fact that they are growing as a company and revenue is growing, so there is probably a lot more emphasis on R&D and different product development. My expectation is that over time it will become a more unified, stable product. However, generally, from the product itself, we have not had issues with it, like something that monitors the monitor. We have not really had to worry about it.

View full review »Dynatrace solution is pretty much stable.
Last time, when there were upgrades being made, the alerting profiles had been wiped off, then we had a gap. When Dynatrace made the latest upgrades, newest patch upgrade, or firmwares, the existing alerting profile, which says, "Call me when you see this," or "Call me when you see 10% of these," had been wiped off. Someone has to redo it again. Except that, it has been fixed in the next release.
View full review »What we have right now, is fairly stable because it's not like we're getting an update every year, or every two weeks. When we evaluated the SaaS/Managed services, that's a big question we asked, because if your run-data is going to update you every two weeks, it means worrying about my performance monitoring solution now, rather than worrying about my application. That was a real concern we had.
The first question we asked is, "Is there an option for us to turn it off? Can decide when we want to update our solutions?" That's an insurance policy for me. If it does not work out for us, we would always have an option. That's a real concern for us, even now. But since we have that insurance, we have an option to turn it off, if we don't want to have it updated every two weeks, I think we are ready to take that risk now.

The stability for Dynatrace is probably 85 percent. We had enough issues where one of the services would just stop running, then we would have to restart it. Not very often, but it happened.
With AppDynamics we haven't been able to use the system long enough to determine its stability.

It is sometimes good, sometimes bad, but most of the time it is getting better. Some of it is the installation and configuration, we screwed it up. The other side of it is that sometimes we have issues with the code on their side. We like to get it fixed.

The solution has been really stable.
View full review »Ours is pretty stable, being that we have AppMon. We have collectors and DTs in there, they're load-balanced all over the place. And every now and then we have issues, but it's been pretty stable. It has to be, because it's being relied upon more and more. If it was not stable then management wouldn't say, "Okay, we're going to go this direction."
Stability is extremely important because when you're in my business, you need to have data available 24/7. If I have systems that take a hit, and I can't depend on my dashboard to pull up data, then that's a problem. And if they can't triage, then that's a problem.
We have encountered downtime. When we have downtime we look at it and say, "How quickly can you get it up?" The good thing is that when we had downtime, we also had load-balancing in place. If you have that in place that really helps out, because then you go from one to another. It doesn't mean that it wasn't down, but it wasn't down long.
We can't afford to be down, because being down costs money. Everything is equated to money, to some degree. If this tool is not available during this time, how much money am I losing because I can't triage it? How many resources am I using? We've had some downtime, but not much. Even when you do maintenance, it's done a certain way.

We measure the internal workings of AppMon to make sure it's not going to fall over, but we hit those thresholds almost daily now. So we are throwing data out just because it's over capacity.

View full review »I think it's pretty stable. I haven't really heard of any outages or things that have gone wrong. I don't use it literally every day, day in and day out, but from what I've seen and experienced, I've not really had any problems.
I do not even see this as being a problem. I have seen very little of it being a problem.

View full review »I haven't had any problems with it working.
I do have concerns about stability. I have heard there are gaps being mentioned and I think that we will lose some features. I am not entirely trusting that this is fully-baked yet. I am probably going to go back to my organization and say we really need to do a PoC and we need to get on the train. However, I am not stepping down AppMon or our current DC RUM for another year or two, because this really needs to mature.
View full review »Very stable. I've never had any downtime with it at all.
I really cannot say or comment on this, because it is still evolving. They are bringing in a lot of changes. Also, I'm posting a lot of questions and queries and requesting they add some of the coolest features. So, stability-wise, probably next year, or middle of this year, I can comment on this. Right now, I don't want to.
I do not know that I had any issues with stability. Generally, if there have been any issues with stability, it has been something on the server side, not really with the application itself. I do not think we have ever had Dynatrace crash.
View full review »We have done PoCs. I don't know whether I can speak in an educated fashion about the stability of this solution. But when we did a PoC for over a month, we did not see any issues with stability. The PoC was more of a SaaS, but we are potentially looking at the Managed solution.
Stability is not an issue.

View full review »In Dynatrace, I really do not see any bugs.
View full review »So far, so good. Looks like Dynatrace is very simple to use. The sessions that we've been through here at the Perform 2018 conference, everybody has pretty much said installation is easy. Snap it in, a couple days later, you start getting information and you can put it right to use.
For stability, our customers have no complaints.
We increased our Client to experiment with the tools, so we could find the right tools. Some of my previous customers whom we encourage them to switch to Dynatrace, they had no complaints.
I know the IT team, who installed Dynatrace, maintains it. They sometimes have had small problems in which Dynatrace is not available because the server is overloading, but they are working on it.

When you go for a monitoring tool, there are two types. One is SaaS. The SaaS version means that the monitoring tool is not deployed on your servers, they are deployed on their servers. The second one is on-premise.
We were using the on-premise and we were using very good servers for the Dynatrace deployment. Stability didn't come into picture. The version that they gave us was very stable. There were was no code bugs. Actually, there were some, but those were fixed immediately.
As far as on-premise was concerned it was fine.
So far, it seems good. We are not seeing issues. We are happy with it, and we have in-house based Dynatrace. Now, we are moving to the SaaS-based. We cannot comment much on the SaaS yet, because it is moving, and we are not there yet.

We did have some issues in an earlier version, probably 6.0 or 6.1. We have not had issues in the more recent ones. Thus, stability seems to have improved over the past few years.
View full review »Stability is pretty good. I would definitely rate it around an eight or nine out of 10 stability-wise. It is the accuracy of the platform that really matters.
View full review »Stability is really good. I have never experienced any downtime.
Compared to other tools, this solution is perfectly stable. The main feature with this solution is that you do not need to do a lot stuff. Everything is being done by the tool itself. Everything is in there for you. There is nothing much needed from your resources; it is all in there. That is the beauty with this solution.

View full review »Not with Dynatrace SaaS or managed product.
View full review »We actually experimented with Managed initially, very early in its introduction, and it very much came off as a beta product, because some of the core capabilities were just generally throwing errors. But in what I've seen in the demonstrations here at the Perform 2018 conference, it has gotten a lot more polished. The AppMon part itsself is also better polished. So, I think it's the nature of trying to rewrite from the ground up.
We had issues with the garbage collection and heap usage, which have been resolved.
View full review »This solution is very stable.
View full review »It is always requiring us to update the Dynatrace client. There are some issues with Dynatrace. Many times I thought there was a production night deployment and we would do a smoke test. Therefore, I started Dynatrace, and suddenly it says your client needs to be updated. Then I had to go do that two or three times. So, there are some glitches in it.
In the future, Dynatrace should actually try to resolve those issues with AppMon. The new Dynatrace version, I think will not have these issues, because it will be only browser based. So, there will be no need to install anything on our machines.
View full review »I haven't had it long enough to truthfully rate stability. We've had AppMon long enough, about two years, and that's been rock solid, minus any upgrades. Every time we do an upgrade there's some instability. When it's not being upgraded, it's perfect.
View full review »In the earlier versions of dynaTrace it was more unstable. But the tool has matured greatly over the last 1-2 years and Compuware continues to improve it.
