Tracing the heck out of it!(no pun intended)
Dynatrace UI seems better compared to splunk also DT gives better flexibility in terms of plans and costs. For logging monitoring we are using splunk and splunk is better for that purpose. But hosts and server monitoring and alerting perspective Dynatrace is better. Dynatrace is better suitable for monitoring production servers.

Installing and configuring Dynatrace is so much easier.

Benefits of Dynatrace
Dynatrace gives the overall picture of the application usage and performance by default with minimal configurations whereas in Datadog a lot of manual intervention is required to analyze the application performance and troubleshooting the issues. Dynatrace is user-friendly when compared to Datadog because the features of Dynatrace is easy to understand and navigate.

- DX Application Performance Management (formerly CA APM)
CA APM was not as solid in terms of end-to-end monitoring features. Everything looks broken.

Dynatrace - Delivers great application monitoring
Dynatrace does everything better overall.

Good Solid RUM to rely on
Dynatrace has three key points: ease of deployment, ease of access and a very low learning curve. Also the info provided by the DT agents are easy to understand and relate to root cause. Also the user interface is very simple and can be configured/shared to provide the data to the different teams and the stakeholders of the application across the enterprise.

Dynatrace is better than the other APM tools I had been using
Dynatrace is more user friendly and provides more details.

Beginner--just barely getting feet wet
Dynatrace was better suited for the needs of our organization

Dynatrace, best Monitoring tool for anomaly detection and the automatic baselining of applications.
Dynatrace beats Wily CEM at the automatic detection of user actions and flows. Dynatrace doesn’t require a manual process for construct monitoring.

Dynatrace is the new (old) kid in town!
Nagios is great because it's cheap, but application monitoring is where it's at!

Know whether to go for Dynatrace after reading this.
We selected Dynatrace because it is much more modern and depends on AI, on auto-discovery, and other features, making it really a next-gen monitoring solution. It is not easy to on-board to Dynatrace, as it has an extremely steep learning curve. It is also possible that other solutions are less resource-hungry when it comes to data storage, but Dynatrace is definitely worth reaching for.

Dynatrace is far superior to the other products. The single pane of glass and ease of use are why we chose Dynatrace.

Easy to use, difficult to master
Some of these tools we use alongside Dynatrace, and others we chose Dynatrace over. Since Ruby is not a Dynatrace supported language, we use New Relic to monitor those applications. We are an AWS shop so naturally, we use CloudWatch metrics for things like auto-scaling where it has better hooks into AWS services than Dynatrace. AppDynamics was a tool we POC'd Dynatrace against before making our purchase decision. We chose Dynatrace due to the better out-of-the-box capabilities and the greater depth it provided for supported monitoring technologies.

My Dynatrace Experience
Score 8 out of 10

I have used a plethora of Application Performance Management (APM) tools, all have their niche. Dynatrace provides the best-in-class experience for support, operations, and platform engineering teams. In addition, access for my Enterprise Development teams has been critical. Also, my Database Administrators (DBA) have used Dynatrace to prove/disprove problems within their relational databases.

Great product
BMC was only a basic APM with not much detail or drilling into the issue. It only showed there was a problem with the host. Before Dynatrace, to troubleshoot an issue we had to log into different consoles for different applications and review logs. Now with a quick visual and a few clicks, we can pinpoint where the problem is.

Dynatrace finds issues you didn't know were even there!
The Dynatrace product was much more feature-rich than New Relic. We went through multiple proofs of concepts with each vendor using our actual system. We found that both did some things the same but in other areas, the Dynatrace product was much better. There was a black box area that Dynatrace was able to discover and New Relic could not.

Dynatrace Review
Dynatrace is much more expensive than pingdom, but it does a better job of doing synthetic monitors and the credential store is much better. When it comes to availability it does a better job of creating of synthetic monitors and it can create a credential store which is a big plus for us.

Dynatrace is fun
- Dynatrace Network Application Monitoring (NAM) and formerly DCRUM
I would consider Network Application Monitoring as looking at and under the foundation, while Dynatrace provides insights to the house and structure.

Great product
We didn't like AppDynamics as much we like Dynatrace.

Excellent company with excellent products!
I have not evaluated any other monitoring products. Our company has evaluated other products that have not stacked up against Dynatrace. Dynatrace has deeper monitoring than others and provides excellent alerting capabilities. Dynatrace was selected for those features as well as the scalability of the product. Although the cost is high, the ROI makes it worth it.
