Dynatrace Usage for Perf testing Java Apps
What do you like best about the product?
Providing pure paths is super helpful, the fact that you can dig down into a component helps go on a method level.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is some overhead of the dynatrace calls as well. I would ideally want that to be minimized so as to provide minimal skew in response times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to benchmark and improve the performance of Java applications. Using Dynatrace gives us a better insight into different components and method level calls and their overheads.

Dynatrace Implementation in our production environment
What do you like best about the product?
The first thing I like about dynatrace is that the tool is very light weight component and very easy to install across the servers. The agent installation is very quick and configuring all the different JVM"S like web sphere ,web logic , Java jetty servers etc. I like dynatrace tool and mostly I like the pure paths and dashboards.Yes, I would definitely say it improved the functionality. we are able to prevent the major down times by pro-active monitoring alerts.Server monitoring, Dash-boards, Pure paths, Pure paths comparison are the most useful features.We started using dynatrace software for better alerting and application monitoring mechanism. we are happy with the server monitoring but we feel like application monitoring should be improved.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to enforce more alerting mechanisms and focusing on the exact exception/error.
It can be improved in narrowing the exact exception/ERROR in application monitoring. I would say it should more focus on app monitoring and capture for some of the known alerts and it should be able to identify which system is having the issue/

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
business problems I have solved with dynatrace is that minimizing the downtime and avoiding huge down times in production. with the OOM and JVM hung alert mechanism we are able proactively identify the issue and fix it. if there is any issue with backend we are able to deduct with the help of application personal incident rules.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would strongly recommend dynatrace to other communities
APM Market Leader - Dynatrace
What do you like best about the product?
When people talk about an APM solution then Dynatrace only came to my mind, It provides a nice correlation between application services & third-party API calls, Also people looking for any next-gen solutions monitorings aswell the products team keep observe and release those feature in their release asap. Also, the code level insights and AI brings root cause analysis - it's awesome
What do you dislike about the product?
Some time to instrumentation with legacy technologies and customized application like C# or desktop applications make more complex and it took more time to investigate the problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to identify the problem in a minute and user experience metrics will provide valuable data to the business team to understand how the application performs at the end user level, Overall its amazing tool for Application root cause analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its very good APM solution and can easily be leveraged as an Enterprise full-stack monitoring solutions
Senior Performance Engineer
What do you like best about the product?
1. The way dynaTrace identifies the slow running transaction/tier, PurePaths and Transactional flow and the Method Hotspots, etc. 2. Dashboards and Alerts/Incidents. 3. Capturing the Errors and Exceptions. 4. Last and the best is no/minimal impact of Overhead.
What do you dislike about the product?
Entry points: I wish there could be a way we can break the Purepath and show it as Multiple Entry points as needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Slow running transactions and Client side issues. Benefits = Simplifies the Complex problems to very simple and Reduced 70-80% of Analysis efforts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to Use and Easy to Understand. No Overhead.
HUGE ASSISTANCE
What do you like best about the product?
This ability to find and diagnose coding errors to enhance experience for users is unmatched.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing we outright dislike. Enhanced SQL diagnosis would be added value.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving user experience issues, finding and fixing SQL errors that are causing system slowdown
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Application performance problems, infrastructure problems, database performance problems. Proactive insight before customer impact occurs.
Very helpful tool for app Perfomrance analysis
What do you like best about the product?
Appmon:
Drill downs to root causes
easy to find the performance bottle necks
Full insight in to all classes
UEM helps to identify user experience and detailed steps performed by user

What do you dislike about the product?
DTSaas: Does not have all the features that Appmon has. may be in the future releases it may have all features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have identified & fixed following performance issue in non-prod before we release app:
Identified memory leaks that caused heap utilization maxed out.
Identified thread bottlenecks at JVM
identified JDBC connection pool limits
there are so many.... :-)

Complete Monitoring in One Solution
What do you like best about the product?
Easy install, just one agent for the SaaS Solution. AI Engine, Helps diagnose problems before you can. RUM Components, lets you see what your users are experiencing in real life.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its a different tool than AppMon, so there is a learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Issues with Infrastructure to code issues. We have been able to diagnose problematic performance issues for customers that the problem is within their infrastructure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Work with your sales team to design a future proof solution that fits all your needs. They will help to set you up. I have had nothing but positive experiences. They have helped me do my job more efficiently.
Ability to get a detailed view of entire cloud infrastructure and monitoring.
What do you like best about the product?
Like the dashboard where I'm able to see issues as they happen. Ability to visualize entire cloud infrastructure for every environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product has so many features and sometimes it can get overwhelming to find exactly what you are looking for. For example, it was not easy to find my application logs for a certain micro service easily when I started using Dynatrace.

Monitoring.
Performance Engineer actively using DynaTrace
What do you like best about the product?
I like the level of details provided by the tool, the simplicity and user friendly interface of the DynaTrace.
The most important part is the purepaths and breakdown on the method level, the response times and the resource utilizations as well as heap size monitoring. Reporting is my favorite part as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
Probably the set up agents and filtering the requests are the most challenging part for me. The uncertainty about the data collected and their definitions are among the challenges as well. The other negative part for me is the time it takes to generate reports for longer time windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am dealing with a lot of performance engineering issues which requires system performance as well as application performance. System configuration and application tune ups.
