Reviews
(1-25 of 41)Good Solid RUM to rely on
- Best tool for APM.
- Best user interface.
- Very frequent releases.
- License cost is high in some forms of the JVM configuration which becomes very expensive.
My view: this application performance monitoring tool is one of the best ones I have used...
Dynatrace is the new (old) kid in town!
In addition, the AI finds root cause - again allowing our team to focus on other issues!
- Installation.
- Root cause analysis.
- Dashboarding.
- Plugins can be difficult.
Dynatrace makes monitoring a breeze.
- Auto discovery and complete observability without any tweaks or configuration
- Root cause analysis and alter correlation into a changing micro-service environment
- Greater transparency on licensing costs, cost optimization, and cost projection of activating Dynatrace features
Dynatrace is an invaluable tool that my team would be lost without
- MTTR for problem resolution
- Automatic root cause analysis
- Pricing model for custom metrics.
- Pricing model for synthetic monitoring when running solely on-prem.
- Ability to see the full stack and how the layers are related.
- Root cause analysis of problems that are identified with minimal effort.
- Automate console app monitoring (converting console apps to services).
Dynatrace, from one user's perspective
- Scaling
- Detection
- Licensing
- Business analytics
Dynatrace user of in-house implementation
- Application fault tracing between different applications
- Pure Path views into all supporting components of an application
- Monitoring of applications that are developed in programming languages that require intermediate-language compilation (C++) still requires integration at the code-level.
Dynatrace is an essential & valuable part of our services portfolio.
- Ease of implementation
- Full stack monitoring
- Pricing model is complicated
Dynatrace is the market leader in APM tools.
- Easy to identify any performance issues by back-tracking any dependency calls
- Automatically identifies the root cause of any performance problem
- Dashboards: Currently we don't have the option to compare dashboard data between two time-frames
- Easy to group multiple database instances into one single database
Dynatrace Review
- Installs easily with no modifications needed to target applications.
- Provides detailed PurePath code-level visibility to all application transactions not just sampled ones.
- Dynatrace could improve the license model. They license host units, DEMs, and metrics differently.
- Price model for host units is based on host memory size and this can be costly.
- Level of detail digging into supported platforms.
- Problem AI & notification.
- SaaS model user interface can be difficult/confusing to navigate.
- While many plugins are available, many involve detailed tweaking to get right.
Dynatrace Delivers Accelerated Performance Management with a Holistic View of the Customer Experience
- Usability and user adoption.
- Ease of installation and configuration.
- Licensing model and utilization.
- Managed environment upgrades.
Dynatrace is an excellent APM
- Easy to manage and project license consumption/spend.
- Dynatrace self-instruments services and it is lightning fast to onboard new hosts.
- It can be challenging to teach others Dynatrace, as troubleshooting is the culmination of skills acquired over time, and mileage varies greatly among experience and skillset in a support department.
- Guided AI assistant when doing tasks, such as dashboard creations, graph creation, alert creation.
Dynatrace is the event management leader!!
- Self discovery
- Event management
- Better dashboards
- Email capabilities for dashboards via PDF
Good overall product
- Service flow does a good job of showing the app-to-app dependencies and downstream issues.
- Alerting and integration makes it easy to know when a critical problem arises.
- Host license management is non-existent. Needs way better visibility and reporting.
- Not much native support for web-methods.
Enterprise monitoring with ease!
- OneAgent deployment is really easy.
- AI baselines and automatic problem identification.
- Licensing model complexities for large companies.
- Better APIs to bring more transparencies to the usage of the tool (dem usage, host unit usage, etc).
Easy to implement and provides a great return on investment!
- Dynatrace is easy to deploy. The previous APM that my organization used required manual configuration for each new deployment. Dynatrace saves the team substantial time by doing this for us.
- Dynatrace alerting integrates into a number of platforms, which has allowed us to spend less time with "eyes on glass" and more time implementing new tools.
- Dynatrace does not provide an easy way of tracking license usage and growth. Environment growth must be manually looked up, instead of providing any kind of alerts that the environment may be about to hit the license cap.
Great product, but pricey
- Dashboarding.
- Root cause analysis.
- Faster time to delivery for enhancements.
- Easier licensing program.
It helps reduce the time for troubleshooting and greatly gives you insight into user behaviors.
WOW DYNAWOW

Dynatrace is easy to use

Phenomenal Cosmic Power, Itty Bitty Applications

- No Safeguard for Licensing Consumption, which could lead to large, unexpected costs
Dynatrace is great!
- Monitoring.
- Dashboard.
- Pricing.
- Licensing.
Full stack monitoring
- Easy to install.
- Very scalable.
- Session reply won't work for some 3rd party products.
- Two factor authentication for synthetic testing is not working.
One solution for all your APM needs
- Problem detection.
- Service flows.

A Great Product with a Learning Curve
- Tracing user actions click by click
- Monitoring and Alerting on critical Business Transactions
- Tracing hotspots in database queries
- I wish that the New Dynatrace had all the functionality of Legacy AppMon
- I wish that the New Dynatrace had better documentation. AppMon seems to have much more flushed out info
- I wish that it was easier to "clone" created environments. There are many things in Dynatrace that you get stuck creating multiple times.
