Overall Satisfaction with Dynatrace

Dynatrace is used to monitor the health and other metrics of the oracle servers and other servers that are added in the UI. UI is quite nice and its easy to look for metric graphs and generate graphs according to requirement. Currently they have automated every process via github and jenkins and its better than before.
  • Metrics addition to the UI.
  • Graphs and all generation in the UI.
  • Alerting mechanism also work like a charm.
  • UI can be a little more user-friendly from non-tech perspective.
  • Alerting mechanism needs to be more seamless.
  • Performance issues with some versions which leads to lots of incidents.
  • Alerting on the basis of threshold of a metric
  • Graphs and visual output in the UI.
  • Easy monitoring the health of the servers.
  • Monitoring servers is very necessary for production and its good at that.
  • Alerting based on threshold also helps for prod servers.
  • The flexibility of switching from upper version to lower version is seamless.
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.

Do you think Dynatrace delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Dynatrace's feature set?

Yes

Did Dynatrace live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Dynatrace go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Dynatrace again?

Yes

If you'd like a UI to monitor your servers and get the metrics in the form of graphs and all that fancy stuff you can go for it.
Along with that if you want alerting setup based on a threshold its a great tool for that.
But there is limited functionality and monitoring with each versions(i think there are 3) which you need to chose according to your project needs.
