Easy Initial Implementation and ROI

Additional cleanup still needs to be done to reduce noise.

Great product, but very expensive
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of deployment and updates is phenomenal. AI agent actually works vs just hype. Integration with AWS works great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really the only downside I've found is price. It's very expensive compared to others which means I wasn't able to monitor anything but prod and couldn't take advantage of features like RUM to the degree I would have preferred.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visibility, monitoring, alerting. Benefits of not having to update agents, pick different agents based on technology stacks, etc. Management zones make breaking things up easy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you understand your pricing going in from the beginning
Immediate Wins out of the Box
What do you like best about the product?
As a new user, I appreciate it's support for transaction ids, automatic discovery of services (mesh and otherwise) , inventory, etc which makes it trivial to see some immediate results.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a new user, Dynatrace has an extensive feature set and a steep learning curve. Would like to see more breakout sessions focusing on low hanging fruit when first installing and using the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a new user, the product has helped us identify gaps in coverage so to speak; we now know which snowflake servers etc do not have all of the required monitoring agents installed. We've also gathered evidence of specific bottlenecks. The next step is determining which metrics are actually useful to our business.
Robust solution but need to improve business case
What do you like best about the product?
Breadth of services, solution explorer, capacity of generating relevant dashboards with good drill down capacity.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price, lack of a good ecosystem of partners in Brazil.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast understanding of a problem root cause, information at the right amount to identify next best action.

From AppMon to Dynatrace
What do you like best about the product?
Easier learning curve, especially for development users with limited monitoring experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limiting for some features: custom metrics expensive, as a SaaS customer, we've got limited API calls - this will make us rethink how central a role Dynatrace will play.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Just started, so it's hard to tell
Dyntrace is great for application debugging
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to get an easy to navigate tree telling you where in your application an issue is happening makes debugging much simpler. With Dynatrace I have been able to help our application teams quickly diagnose major productions issues. I was also able to quickly help debug some issues with applications in our cloud migration initiative.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dynatrace has a few restrictions that they don't document well such as limitation on API calls and SQL variables with the SaaS solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dynatrace is helping us to allow applications to quickly move to the cloud in our deployment pipeline. With Dynatrace we are able to quickly diagnose any issues that come up with application code.
Delivers on promises but isn't 100% technically sound
What do you like best about the product?
How not difficult it is to initially setup the system. There is a lot of usability the day that you install it
What do you dislike about the product?
The high frequency of alerting as well as all the fine tuning to deliver this product to be production ready.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed greater insight into our stability problems and better root cause analysis
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It works but is subject to compete with other monitoring tools you may be using. Too many header injections can slow down performance. However they pretty much deliver on all their promises
Dynatrace Perform 2020
What do you like best about the product?
Dynatrace provides deep visibility into application performance that really helps organization with understanding the availability and reliability aspects of the application and performance bottlenecks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unable to implement Code level instrumentation of Python.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Availability of business critical applications, SLA monitoring and continuous measurements.
