Changing Monitoring
So much more details in all discovery and the root cause is invaluable#

Enterprise-level integration
Dynatrace provided better technology support and AI operations than AppDynamics.

Dynatrace Experience
Dynatrace's ability to track the call through the stack was superior to our previous APM. The presentation of those failures was also superior when compared to the prior product.

Dynatrace - A premier APM product at a premium
Dynatrace is a premier tool for hybrid environments. It also happens to be the most expensive. Dynatrace is bad at pricing and customer success. They charge a premium but do offer one of the better solutions on the market.

Strong, efficient monitoring and alerting tool with the ability to do dramatically more.
Greater ability of code-level integration to monitor key metrics.

Blows them away. There is no comparison - if you are truly working on moving forward this is the only tool to consider. Growing complexity cannot be handled with a last generation tool.

Dynatrace set-up, ease-of-use, and cloud capabilities are far greater than those of AppDynamics.

A Great Product with a Learning Curve
New Relic is SAAS only so it was instantly nixed. Our IT Sec wants on premise.
CA APM was terrible. Like really bad. They came in for a demo too and it is no where near on par. As complicated as Dynatrace can be. CA is worse by a hundred fold.
AppDynamics was our runner up in our last "reevaluate". They do have a solid offering. However they are really just playing catch up to Dynatrace. If somehow going AppDynamics can save you a ton of money versus Dynatrace. I'd say it is a safe option. But Dynatrace is superior

Awesome application performance monitoring tool
There’s is no other single product that does what Dynatrace currently provides.The combination of user-monitoring, applications performance monitoring, database monitoring, host-level metrics, smartscape to automatically detect the components in the environment are all great features. Dynamic dashboads are unique as well and there is no other competing product that does all of the above and that too, effortlessly.

Dynatrace offers training that no other APM tool offers, not to mention 100% data collection.

My Dynatrace review
We brought in 3 different tools but one tool crashed our .NET environment and the other didn't offer as many options as Dynatrace. We started out using AppMon but moved to Dynatrace Managed after seeing what all it offered. We also use Dynatrace Synthetic so our 3 public websites can be monitored to ensure they remain up at all times.

My experience on various monitoring tools and Dynatrace
Score 9 out of 10

- System Center Operations Manager, AppDynamics, New Relic, Business Process Monitor (formerly HP Business Process Monitor) and CA Wily Customer Experience Manager
Each of the tools has its own strength and weakness. A few tools like HP fully rely on integration with HP products that do other monitoring. SCOM [does] only their Microsoft products monitoring in depth (.net) not much capability around Java applications. NewRelic is a newcomer in the market when compared to the other three listed above. It has similar capabilities of Dynatrace but is still way behind when compared to Dynatrace. AppDynamics is the real competitor to Dynatrace and where there is a very tough decision we always make to recommend Dynatrace.

Easy implementation
Dynatrace does a better job at tracking application performance and understanding services as a whole.
February 04, 2020
The best APM tool
Dynatrace is much more user-friendly. It has a better ability to show root causes. Dynatrace university is the best for getting new users up to speed, and DynatraceOne is the best for support in real-time... IN the tool!
February 04, 2020
Flexible and Powerful
Dynatrace provided a better and more intuitive UI for less experienced users of perfomance monitoring software. The reduced learning curve was helpful in getting these folks operational quickly with the tool.

There is really no comparison. While AppDynamics is not bad, the Dynatrace technology runs circles around them. When they pitch their product to us, they spent more time trying to downplay Dynatrace then they did shining a light on their own product. The way forward was clear.

Dynatrace has thrilled our VPS and managers as it cuts down the number of headaches and helps us get to solutions faster. It helps in keeping staff and customers happy as we perfect our infrastructure for everyone.

The guardian of our galaxy
In my earlier organization, I used Foglight. It has similar capabilities but it isn't even close to what Dynatrace can do for us here. It was easy to configure Foglight on WebLogic servers to instrument and monitor servers for critical thresholds such as CPU and memory usage, especially on mission-critical applications.

Excellent monitoring tool
We used Introscope earlier for monitoring. But it has been difficult to configure Introscope due to the metric groupings which takes time and difficult to replicate across different servers. Dynatrace does not need to configure any metric groupings and hence saves time. Dynatrace provides a sitemap of the request which allows you to debug which Introscope lacks.

Dynatrace is one of the best APM tools you can use
We looked at AppDynamics, but the installation and data collection mechanisms were far more demanding of IT Infrastructure and too way too much effort. Dynatrace was very quick and easy.
