Overall Satisfaction with Dynatrace
Dynatrace is used for product monitoring on prod and pre-prod environments, including core application, a number of services around it, and databases. It helps to effectively debug through the app, and it increases visibility in the complex environment of production, which has been live for 17 years and is a mix of various technologies and approaches.
- Dependency identification
- User impact analysis
- Unreliable--sometimes API changes without a notice or mention in release notes
- Pricing--obscured, unclear, and fluffy, a lot of time wasted on every purchase
- Increased visibility of dependencies
- Made new approach to RUM possible
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.
