Dynatrace Customer Service and Support

Barry Pieper
Manager, Performance Engineering at Medica Health Plans
Tech support has generally been pretty good. We get good response. They have a thing called Dynatrace ONE and I find the tech support to be best if I engage it through a chat window on Dynatrace. There's a place, right in the tool, where you can get a hold of a Dynatrace ONE person and they'll look at your problem right away. That seems to work better than the old model of calling support or sending an email, because you would go back and forth. "Send me more doc. What about this? Send me that." The Dynatrace ONE agent gathers everything he needs and, once he has all that, if he doesn't know what the problem is, at something like a level-one triage, he'll open the incident for you and it's done. I like that part. The traditional send-them-an-email, open-a-ticket-online takes too long. The Dynatrace ONE agent available through chat is a great concept. I encourage my team to use that rather than opening a problem. And that's included in the standard licensing.

Their Tier 0 is better than most companies that I have ever worked with. Normally, I'll get useful information even at that initial level/Tier 0.
The in-app chat is extremely helpful. It helps not only with the ability for me to troubleshoot, but the ability for the rest of the organization to ask how-to questions. We have hundreds of those chats across the organization per month which are leveraged by end users.
Everything else is as expected when working through engineering and our product specialists, who have been helpful.

Senior Director IT at BARBRI Inc.
Their technical support is the best ever. I know I sound like a broken record, but we get chat support on the Dynatrace site, not from some guy in India, but from a high-level tech in the US who has all the answers to the questions. That person is not like some first-level guy who's going to ask you if your machine's booted up. The techs can answer our questions and, if they can't, they open the ticket and get back to us later. It's the best support model I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

Donald Hall
Manager, Ecommerce Support at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees
It is fantastic. You don't even have to pick up the phone. You can submit a Jira ticket from directly within Dynatrace to the support team. Those Jira tickets are categories based on the component of Dynatrace that you're looking at. You actually get a live agent chat within the tool, so you're not only submitting a ticket and getting a case number, but you have the support rep right there in the chat session to walk you through it. It's the only product I use that has a similar interactive of an online health system.

Technical support has been great. The first line of defense is their chat through the UI, which is really simple. They're super-responsive and usually get back to us within minutes. We have a solutions engineer that we can reach out to as well, and they have been very helpful, even with things like setting up training sessions and screen-sharing sessions to help enable our internal teams to be more productive using the tool.

We've had to call in for a few things, and they're really very professional. If we've needed to escalate issues, we've never had a problem doing that. Always been able to get to root cause, and in every case, been satisfied with the outcomes.

We had several calls to their support organization, but we have had a very good response from them. Even the Mission Control functionality within the solution is handling most of the log collection. They can reach your server to understand the situation, and they can do a dynamic upgrade of the solution. So, it's very good and very powerful.
I would rate them 5 out of 5.

Justin Lowery
Front-end Architect at Rack Room Shoes
I have noticed a few problems with the service before. I reached out to support and the system did appear to resolve itself on its own (after there was a problem). Then, the support staff couldn't see any further issues. The solution’s self-healing functionality works.
We ran into a problem where the Dynatrace JavaScript agent is returning errors, and it's very apparent that there's a problem. However, the customer support will ask us for seemingly unnecessary details instead of looking at our dashboard through their account to see what the problem is. They ask us for a lot of details not really related to solving the problem. As a result, we still have a few issues that were never resolved. They're not major issues, but they're frustrating.
The technical support is below average. They've solved some of the problems that we had, but it took several weeks to resolve almost each problem we had when they probably should have been fixed within a day or two.

My team reaches out to the Dynatrace technical support team whenever there's a connectivity issue, an issue with dashboard creation, or a log that needs clarification. I used to contact the vendor via email and create a request for the Dynatrace support team.
Support is good, but it needs a faster response, so I'd give it an eight out of ten.

Talking about Dynatrace as a company, the people I've spoken to have always been responsive. The support is always available, partly because of our support package. As a whole, Dynatrace has always been a very responsive entity, whether I've been dealing with them in North America or in the UK.

IT Delivery Manager at a program development consultancy with 5,001-10,000 employees
The team used tech support during the original implementation to make sure that it was going well. And it went very smoothly.
I don't think we've had any problems with it from a Virgin Money Giving perspective. Having said that, we had experts using it who were already within Virgin Money. So we were able to use that internal expertise to help us to implement it into our solutions, which was helpful. So we haven't needed to call tech support.

I use Dynatrace technical support on a daily basis. They have a live chat within the tool and that comes for free with the tool itself. All 500 of our users are able to use this chat functionality. I'm using it very frequently, especially when I need to find out where features or functionalities are located within the tool. They can immediately help you with first-line support for the easy questions and that saves you a lot of time. You just chat and say, "Hey, I want to see where this setting can be activated," and they say, "Just click this button and you will be there."
For the more complex questions, you start with tickets and they will solve them. That takes a little bit longer, depending on how complex your question is.
But that first-line support is really a very easy way to interact with these people, and you get more out of the tool, faster.

We haven't been in touch with technical support lately. However, when we have contacted them in the past, they have been helpful and responsive. We're quite pleased with their capabilities so far.
View full review »Anytime I can't find the answer immediately in docs or answers, I just open a ticket. They are very good about giving you a response.
Initially, I am talking about two or three years ago, I think they did not have enough personnel staffed there. Therefore, it would take them maybe two or three days to get to your ticket. Now, it is maybe the next day you will have a pretty reasonable answer and that is provided you did exactly what it says in the support ticket. For example, make sure you upload your support archive. Otherwise, you will burn a day and they will send you an email requesting you just upload this. That is shooting yourself in the foot, and that is not their fault.
I have definitely had to use technical support. The technical support team, customer service team, and Dynatrace altogether have been the best team that I have worked with industry-wide. Whenever I have a problem, most of the time they are hounding me for more feedback on the problem than me having to hound them. They have been great. I have a monthly call with technical resources, and I also have sales resources on a monthly call. Whatever our need is, they are there to help us, hold our hand, and walk us through it. It has been amazing.

The technical support is great. We have a pretty good contract with Dynatrace for contacting support. They are pretty responsive and very knowledgeable. You get a DevOps engineer from Dynatrace jumping on immediately with very high expertise.

I've never called, I've opened tickets through the Support Portal, that's the way I've engaged with our support. I'm more on our application business unit side of the house, so not directly involved with the configuration management of the Dynatrace server and environment.

A small anecdote: We needed some changes to the UE mobile agent and we needed them in a hurry. And support turned that ask around in two days, which was phenomenal.
And then, I started talking to some of the guys in Boston, Detroit about some of the exciting changes they're making for their support model where they can have off-site guardians. I actually employ two guardians myself at a time. I have them on a one year contract. Putting them in-house has been invaluable.
The idea of other organizations being able to use Dynatrace guardian hours, and doing it piece meal as they need it, is great because not everybody needs as much hand-holding, but everybody needs a little help some time. The response time and the knowledge has been tremendous.
View full review »We used technical support. We just start configuring the system and the initial installation. We had one issue when we tried to enter one agent and it just does not work. We got to work with the highest level of support, but it took a while to get there. Initially, we did not get to that level. This is considering maybe it was just after the New Year, and it took a little bit longer than we expected to get to the highest level of support.

We have worked with their technical support team on a couple of specific areas, and I would rate them a four out of five.
We have not had to contact support for applications that use simple technology, like Java. However, when it is a complex system such as an ERP or a cloud-based application, sometimes the integration requires that we create specific plugins to capture the data. These are the types of things that we have worked with technical support to resolve.

The technical support is phenomenal - they have a call program called Dynatrace ONE, which is like a customer success program on steroids.
View full review »As our adoption was in its infancy, we had the physical Dynatrace guardians, local from local areas, if you will, in our city. That was like our support because they were physically onsite. As our own staff became enabled and just basically knew the product, we frankly did not really need support, unless it was a product defect or something like that. In which case, we had a team within our company that was the interface for them.
View full review »They were helpful. They pinpointed exactly what the problem was, because for us it was a strange behavior. It was not downtime, but we lost metrics sometimes, and not always at the same time. We found that it was because the lack of capacity of the servers where we installed the server part of Dynatrace.
We did not have to wait for answers from them.
We had to use technical support before, primarily in the areas of adding additional features to the product. For example, we have some applications in Python. We do not have support for Python, which is not really the product, but more adding features on top of the product.
View full review »The technical support has been fair. We have Dynatrace folks still working on the implementation stage so we have not used the full tech support. It is in-house support right now.
My complaint is the feature sets that they promised slips a lot. However, that is software development.
View full review »I have not contacted any customer solution or support.
Since we are still on the warranty period, we have still Dynatrace guardians on-site. I can go in and say, "Hey, this is what is happening," and he will get me a solution, or he will say, "Hey, you are doing this wrong. You have to do this." If not, he would say this feature is not yet released, and we are going to have it in next Q release, or whatever. Dynatrace guardian is the first point of contact if I have to ask any questions, he would be the guy.
View full review »We actively use the Expert Services from the vendor. They are certainly very knowledgeable on the solution. The challenge is how do we map our business requirements and business challenges with the solution. Obviously, they do not understand our business challenges, so if we are able to provide the proper feedback to them about our business challenges, they can really map the solution to our problems.
They have solved our problems most of the time, as quickly as possible. Some of the time they solved the problem, but it took some time to solve it. That's the reason I give the solution an eight out of 10. The Expert Services is really helpful for us.

There is room for improvement, support-wise. We have a lot of experience in many different areas — I worked for years in the IT industry. I missed in-depth knowledge of audit tools. They know Dynatrace very well, but when it comes to solving problems, for example, in PeopleSoft, they don't know anything about PeopleSoft — that's what's causing the problem in my opinion. You need to know the tools to able to resolve the problems.

On a scale of one to ten, my experience working with the AppDynamics onsite people and offsite support is maybe a five. I feel that they don't want to take responsibility for the areas that AppDynamics is lacking in. When things don't work in which they were sold, then they want to tell us that it is our environment more than their application not functioning correctly.
Whenever we had issues with Dynatrace, you could get Dynatrace support on the phone, and they were all over it. They would get into our machines, then take screenshots or look at the performance of the systems while it was running. They wrote custom patches to help us resolve issues that we had. I would rate the support that we receive from Dynatrace as a ten out of ten.

The tech support is great. Besides calls, they also have an online presence where we can chat directly to them. If I'm not mistaken, this may be for premier customers, since their support is layered.
For the other support mechanism, which is for regular customers, they can submit questions into a portal. I think the response time is between four to six hours. They could improve the response time because the premier customers have a fifteen-minute to one-hour response time.

Every now and again, we contact technical because we have a few questions and they are very responsive and helpful. If it's a problem that we cannot figure out over the phone, they will make an appointment. They will come to our site. It's all part of the support contract, and there is no extra charges for it, which is good.
View full review »We use the Dynatrace University, plus some of the guidance solutions. Generally these guys are quite experienced and they help us to understand properly. They cannot help our environment - we help them to understand our infrastructure. It's like handshaking with each other. It's good.
View full review »We just submit a ticket, and it will probably take them one day. That's sufficient for us, for now.
The resolution time is also about one day. Right now, one day is not good enough. We would like it to be in the hours. So that's why, another thing with this new Dynatrace product is they have the messaging system, something like that. And they have the server that would monitor our Dynatrace server, where they can see everything, what the issue is already, so they can resolve it quicker, instead of our submitting a ticket and waiting for one day.
Initially, when we were onboarding the product, we had to use technical support, especially for contouring the system. We found the technical support to be effective and the resolution time to be good.
View full review »Depends on how tough the question is. If I ask them a question about stuff they have not done before, it takes a while. Then, we have uncovered a couple of bugs, and we used to wait for the solution. I have been a good QA for them in some cases. Generally, nothing show-stopping.
Some of their sprints have had some inconsistent pieces. They generally fix them in two or three sprints after that.
View full review »From what I've seen, they're very knowledgeable and easy to work with.
View full review »We use tech support. How I would rate them depends. So some of our problems are quite complex, because of how we've stressed the system to the extent that we have. So, we've had some stuff on the AppMon side that's because we're well beyond the usable limits. They help where they can, but in some instances it just is what it is.
On the Managed side it's been pretty good. Stuff gets turned around pretty quickly. With them being able to do the remote management from the back-end, they are able to fix stuff up if they need to.
In terms of response time, relative to the complexity of the problem, I think it's reasonable. Some of our problems have been not normal. But the normal stuff, they turn it around fairly quickly. We don't pay for Premium support either, so you get what you pay for. They are usually quite responsive, and we've got really good connections into most of the folks back in the labs, so it works out well.
Technical support is really great, and they're very quick. If they cannot fix it, they're very good about escalating right away to product development.
Our issues were mostly around Synthetic, some incompatibilities with the JavaScript frameworks. For Dynatrace specifically, it was for the browser RUM.

We regularly connect with the technical support and obtain input from them. They are nice to work with, so we have been happy with the service.
View full review »Experience with relationship/account manager has been really poor, it does not seem to be the firm's priority to support their customers.
View full review »Technical support is pretty good. Not only the technical support, but the upper managers, they are also very technically, savvy people. Most of them, not all of them are. Also, some of the sales accounts, they are able to find you the right technical people, if necessary.
View full review »The technical support team is really good. We do have guardian services, the dedicated resource who works with us. We always reach out to him. The online chats have been effective. The webpages, the university where we can go and have a look at solutions and the like, have been very helpful so far. The technical team has been very good with support.
We have used technical support many times, because there are some issues which we were not able to figure out based on the information provided. There are some things, which we need the technical support team's help in making the changes, and also before changes are made. There should not be a case where we make a change and certain features get disabled, or certain featured get enabled.
We have used technical support in the past, but the support is limited. Though, I have never had an issue that the technical team has not been able to solve. I show them the problem, then they see the problem, and solve it. That is what is very successful for me: no back-and-forth with support.
Support can ask in a list what information they want from me and what problem I am facing, then I will explain it. This will help us to solve problem more quickly than just chatting.
View full review »Our tech support guy is amazing. What I try to do, because I know how I am and I get irritated when someone comes to me and I know that they haven’t even tried to look. They’re just saying to themselves, “Oh, she knows, let’s ask her.” That’s annoying to me because I have a lot that I have to do throughout the day. What I try to do is, I go to the Dynatrace support site, I’m on there every day watching the videos, looking at the articles, reading the white papers. It’s very extensive. The majority of the time I find what I am looking for. If I don’t, I know that I can call Jeff and say, “Hey, I’m looking for this I can’t find it, can you help me?”
It’s a running joke between him and me because he’s our SE - I don’t want to get him in trouble. Technically, I know I’m supposed to call tech support, but if it’s something real quick that I know he’s going to know, I’ll just say, “Hey Jeff, how do I do this?" Or, "I have been looking on the tech support site and I’m getting annoyed, I can’t find it. I know you know. How can I find this?” Then he'll say, "Oh, just do this, and this, and this." He gives me step by step, and then within 15 minutes, the problem’s been resolved.
In terms of regular tech support, I haven’t had any issues. I have a really good working relationship with them, even the tech support guys, they know me. When I submit tickets, they say, “Oh, hey Danielle.” I’m always reading, learning, asking questions. I tell them, "I know I’m being a pain. I’m going to ask you anyway. How do I do this?" They know it’s me, and they respond right away.
When something goes wrong, support is unbelievable. I really can't expect that they are so slow in the support, which I really did not like. They expect the customer to do the basic analysis, do all the solutions, and find the solutions themselves. If it is really a product problem, only then will they be able to identify and spend time on the customer.
Several issues in the last month took us the whole day to get our system back online. It is good that we are not 100% live with all our critical applications, so management is not so hard on the Dynatrace team. I can't imagine that will happen again, and I am wondering how do I improve the support? Long story short, the support is not good.

Tech support is slow.
Going from the dev department back to the front-end customer service, then back to the dev. Then it just goes back and forth, back and forth, until they finally find a resolution. If you don't push through, then they won't resolve the issue right away. So you have to keep pushing, or they're going to just say, "You need to update."

They were pretty effective. We've had to open tickets a couple of times for their new features that we were trying to integrate with, or a problem with a current feature. Their helpful resource is the guardian, which is the best security program. There is a person dedicated to each client. I think that's a pretty good idea. Most of the companies I'm typically consulting with are Professional Services type set-ups, but I think the Guardian program is pretty awesome. It's really beneficial.

General support is same thing. If they can't give you the answer, they are saying, "We will have someone call you back. We will have your S.E. call you back." They get someone for you. So, it is one of the best support structures.
Dynatrace's documentation is great. I love the university.
I have contacted the support from Dynatrace and they are very good. I had only one question from the support and I received a quick response.
I rate the support from Dynatrace a five out of five.

Everything is excellent with technical support. Some of their personnel are our main point of contacts. They are always in touch with us.
View full review »We had training from them and they're all been knowledgeable. I'm happy with the training that they provided. Their support people are responsive.
I evaluate technical support on a criteria of:
- Did they help solve my problem?
- How long did it take them to help solve my problem?
I have not had very positive experiences in the last year. I found them to be arrogant, rude, not solving my problems, and not interested in solving my problems.
They are very insulted if you ask them questions. They refer you to read the documentation. I am like, "Well, I already read the documentation and that is why I am asking you a question."
"Google that," is not the answer that I want hear out of tech support, because I already googled it. So, I have been rating them very low. It is actually the one pain point I did bring up to my sales engineers and sales support. They are aware.
View full review »They're very helpful. They help us get right to the problem.
Whenever I reach out to technical support, they are helping us. There's no point at which I would say they're not helping. They are very good.
The problem here is that they are evolving day to day. Some features they're saying they'll include the next week or coming up. They have planned features, and that's where we are lagging.
But whenever I reach out to the support guys, they are very good.
When it comes to support, it all matters. You have a problem with your application and you don't know how to solve it, you reach out to the support guys. And if they are responding on time, that solves your problem. If you have a problem in an important application and your support guy doesn't respond and you are losing business... that's where these guys are standing out. Their support is constant, so you can reach out to them at any time and they are there. They're just helping us in that.
I have opened a couple tickets with technical support. I can't recall any of them off the top of my head, but I do not recall there being issues with them. They got back to me pretty promptly, and I was able to get a solution for them. Then, not for frontline things, but we purchased some coaching sessions and utilized those, which were very useful.

We use technical support several times a year. They are always quick to respond. They have been able to handle the majority of our issues. We lay out all of our issues, and the few times they have not been able to help us was just because the product was still in development.
