Senior Software Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Unified dashboards have provided end-to-end visibility and now streamline API latency troubleshooting
I think Dynatrace can be improved in dashboard creation, as this is the face of a product. Although Dynatrace may have many things, new users typically do not know the whole power of the product. To onboard new people, it would be beneficial to provide template dashboards or suggested dashboards. Organizations working with microservice architecture will follow some templates, so suggesting simple, hand-picked features that are really helpful could make a difference. Quick configurable and customizable templates would be very useful. Whenever they come into the product, they can use this template and feel that their product is applied to it. Immediately, they will think everything is online and can improve easily. This base can be provided in template form. Since Dynatrace has a lot of features now, the AI integration makes it simple, but the product itself is very huge. To understand and utilize it, maybe it would be good to index the essential features.

You can easily scale it for high message rates, but it's primarily a flow-monitoring tool rather than an APM.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Dynatrace is that it offers good visibility. It's better than other APM tools. You're not required to use a different technology when you have Dynatrace because it will work whether you're hosting it on Windows or Linux."
"This tool enables us to make intelligent, fact-based decisions faster."
"Dynatrace has great training available; it is easy for everybody to use, and anybody can go out to YouTube, watch a video, and figure out how to use the piece that they need."
"In terms of one tool, right now I’m seeing Dynatrace can do a lot of things: the entire DevOps, infrastructure, application performance monitoring, all that can be done using just one tool."
"We now know when the application is down, as opposed to students opening tickets and letting us know, so it's more proactive."
"It is nice to be able to deep dive and pull historical data."
"On the Managed side tech support has 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."
"For stability, our customers have no complaints."
"You can easily scale it for high message rates."
"Flexible environment"
"Nastel is a world-class company that has partnership amongst other positive qualities embedded into its cultural fiber."
"Very simple to use and is a very useful tool."
 

Cons

"We've installed it to help us with performance issues and we use it when there's a problem, but we find it difficult to get in to find out what's really wrong."
"If you want to see a month's data, it keeps on spinning. Here is an improvement which needs to happen, which is the case with all applications or tools. There is a lot of data, and either we have to change the way we are logging or the application needs to be enhanced."
"I'd like to see native support, because we're launching native apps in multiple countries so we really want to have a really good feel for how those apps are going and how well they're performing, if there are issues."
"This is an expensive solution which makes it difficult to sell to customers."
"They're doing vulnerability assessments of the application stack by using OneAgent. It's a never-ending story if you are trying to be sure your application is also secure."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more portables included regarding the screens."
"The AppMon product hasn't been historically as scalable."
"Cloud monitoring is insufficient. We would prefer Dynatrace to make more partnerships with major cloud applications like Salesforce, C4C, etc."
"Quality Assurance testing for new releases need to be more thorough"
"Documentation"
"Needs to quickly implement support for all variety of servers."
"The GUI is quite basic and middleware-centric."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is still too expensive."
"The licensing for Dynatrace is high. If you want to go for monitoring solutions, then why Dynatrace? If you have a particular budget, you can go for many other monitoring tools - apart from Dynatrace - and they can help you more and give more data than Dynatrace can. It's not worth the money that you spend for Dynatrace."
"The pricing is not bad, but it could be better."
"We purchased a subscription for one year and it is an expensive solution for a large enterprise like ours."
"The licensing model is confusing in solutioning clients for the number of hosts needed to deploy."
"From what I have heard in the company, Dynatrace is expensive."
"They could improve their price ranges, as there is no option for startups or testing."
"We asked for a three-year license, and the price was quite good."
