Excellent monitoring tool
- Excellent monitoring tool.

Dynatrace is one of the best APM tools you can use

- Uses AI and historical performance to detect changes in the environment and performance.
- Extremely easy to install and deploy with very little risk of breaking applications.
- It is very expensive but very powerful.
The best APM money can buy
- Dynatrace AI is quite useful in providing updates

- Deeper insights into container application monitoring when compared to most other tools
- Dynatrace is not very affordable for SMEs
- The more advanced features are not very intuitive and require formal training
- Does not integrate with legacy version systems
Excellent APM
- Context Specific drill down from the dashboard to the class level
- Outstanding support around Windows and Linux
- Easy to install and get it running
- Helps to determine the root cause of the problem in a very good way
- Not enough focus on roles and empowering the adminisrators of Dynatrace of the SaaS version
- Under high load, performance of Dynatrace is not that good. I feel this is where it can improve.
- A bit difficult to automate the different processes that users occupy with the different applications.
Dynatrace Review
- Live data collection and presentation with great graphic and report functionalities.
- Deep dive analysis on application and network performance, reporting alarms, errors and any downgraded behavior.
- Easy to use and simple self-configured rules to set up the abnormal behavior you are interested in.
- The technical documents need to be improved a bit as there were some missing explanations of technical parts. I had to escalate [an issue] to Dynatrace engineering support to get it explained.
- Monitoring inside containers. Dynatrace was the first product that had this capability. Being able to see inside our containers is important to our overall health picture.
- Session Replay is a unique function that allows us to see a user session in 4k video, from login to log out.
- Davis, the Dynatrace AI, is quite helpful to me. I invoke it every morning to get an overview of my stack every morning.
- More data export options would be beneficial.
Dynatrace - Wonder Tool
- Individual transaction details in Purepath.
- Visual representation of charts, issues, crashes etc.
- With Managed, you don’t have to configure each application because it's all auto-discovered. How cool is that!
- If view access was available in AppMon, it would have helped a lot of users. I work as our Dynatrace admin and we help a lot of application teams set up monitoring. Most of the time application teams wish they had viewing access for the system profile configurations like Measure, BT, and Incidents.
Dynatrace lets you see issues you never knew you had
- Tracing user interactions on the website is very useful to see if there are any dead end or navigation issues that can’t be found just by watching logs.
- App stack detection and automatic grouping is very useful to quickly view your environment.
- Synthetic tests can make testing comparisons easy to compare.
- Integration with things that can’t run the OneAgent could be better supported and streamlined.
Dynatrace Cloud-Native and OneAgent rocks
- OneAgent monitors multiple services.
- Cloud-native embedded monitoring.
- Support for all the latest technologies and platforms.
- The plugins need more customization.

Dynatrace is way ahead of its time...

- Some of the Dashboard capabilities in the older version are no longer available.
Dynatrace for real cloud monitoring!!

- Infrastructure issues can be identified in one place.
- Network issues can be identified too.
- Able to store the session replay data to view later (within 35 days).
- Integrations with different applications.
Dynatrace: all in one

- Reporting and longer information to see trends.
- More community examples of using API, scripts etc.
Dynatrace: the easy insight into your application performance
- Very user-friendly instrumentation and configuration of the monitoring infrastructure.
- Extensive support for the latest technologies.
- Code level visibility and easy to drill down from environment overviews.
- Technical support is quite good but could be improved on the expert level support which can take days before [an issue is] addressed.
- Support for auditing logs for Dynatrace monitoring environment changes.
- Some PurePaths for .NET applications are broken and it does not show full end to end transaction flows.
Less numbers, more answers
- API support.
- AI and baselining.
- Building and describing dependencies.
- Root cause analysis doesn’t always point in the right direction.

Dynatrace Review
- We are heavily using dashboards to monitor our environment.
- We use RUM data extensively to monitor user sessions and app behaviors.
- Synthetic monitoring is an excellent feature which gives us insight into actual app behavior and response time hotspots.
- Root cause analysis by Dynatrace AI engine is phenomenal.
- We do not get insight into webMethods JDBC connection stats like we used to do earlier with CA Wily.
- We recently got some insight into Kafka metrics but it is very limited at the moment.
- It would be nice to split docker container ID. Currently, we are getting a vague container name.
Dynatrace
