Dynatrace requires an agent for operation. OneAgent is powerful, but it is also resource-heavy. On lightweight nodes or older systems, the agent can slightly impact performance.

I think Dynatrace can be improved in dashboard creation, as this is the face of a product.

Dynatrace can be improved by focusing on the model because when you say single pane of glass, it means different things for different people.

In terms of improvements, I believe Dynatrace could enhance cost and licensing structures, as the current pricing can be expensive for large-scale deployments.

One significant complaint I have raised with Dynatrace as a consultant is the availability of raw data for logs. While this capability exists, it is quite costly.
Dipu Das - PeerSpot reviewer

Dynatrace itself is a very good platform where the UI interface is very simple and usable, but I would say if it were made even more simple, similar to our Splunk dashboard, that could help users or newer users understand it more easily, especially since sometimes I have seen when using Dynatrace, we are not able to add the time frame properly.

Dynatrace can be improved from the security side because other observability products are enhancing security features, while Dynatrace has room for improvement in this area.
