Overall Satisfaction with Dynatrace

We use Dynatrace mostly in the pre-production environment to identify any performance issues before we promote code to production. Dynatrace is used by separate business units but we are considering rolling it out across the organization. By using Dynatrace, we've prevented many performance issues going to production and prevented performance issues in production as well.
  • 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
  • Identification of any performance bugs is easy and quick. It improves productivity.
  • I think licensing cost is high compared to other competitors in the market.
Dynatrace is easy to on-board. Easy and quick to find any performance issues. Back-tracking of dependency calls is easy. I think these are the features missing from other APM tools.
Support folks are always available to help. They are pretty knowledgeable and helpful if I am stuck on any problems or issues.

Did Dynatrace live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Dynatrace go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Dynatrace again?

Yes

With Dynatrace, it's easy to back-track any transaction. We are also using AppDynamics in production but developers are struggling to identify any root cause if there are any performance issues. However, in Dynatrace it's easy to back-track and identify any issue quickly. Dynatrace UI is user friendly compared to AppDynamics. I think Dashboard is nice, but there is no way I can compare between two time-frames. This would help me to compare test results between two releases easily.
