Dynatrace - A helpful tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Dynatrace is very useful in terms of debugging issues in deployed environments, without parsing IIS logs, system logs, or other incredibly clunky files.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it provides a lot of information, but not really anything that can be 'helpful' at times. Maybe it's configuration based, but I feel like we spend a lot of time waiting for queries to run, when most of the information isn't necessary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deugging both performance issues and errors in deployed environments. Tracing problems back to root causes in either code or server configurations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure that you do some of the training first - will make it much easier to use and increase your satisfaction.

Dynatrace for Problem Solving
What do you like best about the product?
Content of the topic, details related to concepts. The concept of agent less and UEM are the topics that are of most interesting.
With the implementation of AKAMAI and CDN the response time information from E2E users becomes more challenging. The analysis technique provided by Dynatrace have multifold advantages.
One of the most interesting feature of DT is PurePath. Gone are the days when we need to extract the logs across all the server nodes, midtier and DB stats and combine them to identify the root cause or the component that resulted in slow performance. Now since we have pure path we can quickly enhance our turnaround time to find the problem area.

What do you dislike about the product?
Would prefer to have more of the video and image presentations where by new users are able to articulate in their work areas.
Being experience user I am able to get the analysis done pretty efficiently in DT Client where as in AppMon need more practice.
I would prefer to have more sensor and instrumentation flexibility on the Client machine for users using DT thick client. I do know that there are tradeoff of this but can we have some solution in this regards.
In terms of documentation we on Dynatrace university, I do feel if we can have a questionnaire after each module that will help us to evaluate our knowledge attainted after going through the videos and presentations.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using DT for doing performance analysis for Client Trading application. The application is build on .Net Platform. The middle tier calls services where the major performance impacts are observed. We are able to identify the root cause of the problem thus providing shorter turn around time for developers to fix them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
App Mon is new to us, went through the site on documentation. I would recommend if we can have continuation of DT client availability in parallel with app mon features.
More details as part of documentation is required on the site on topics related to Synthetic monitoring, UEM.

Dynatrace allowed us to identify code problems that we would never have seen with trace reading
What do you like best about the product?
identification of the origin of errors and exceptions. navigation in classes and methods to identify latencies
What do you dislike about the product?
the richness of menus and settings can make the tool sometimes difficult to handle
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identify the origin of the slowness penalizing the users, and correct them. Ability to control and track response times of sensitive transactions
Great Tool for inside looks
What do you like best about the product?
I love the interface and how it intuitive it is.
What do you dislike about the product?
That I cannot integrate more of our applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Logging issues as they arise, and being able to review logs.
Pretty useful
What do you like best about the product?
The capability to compare between different sites
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating the scripts in kite. The old versions of browsers it uses
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Showing the problem is not the platform but the implementation of the solution
Great insight through application instrumentalisation and monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
This platform allow us to monitor the functioning of an application through its different layers (http server, app server, database...)
What do you dislike about the product?
The navigation from the graph view can be a little messy, regarding on the complexity of the stack
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dynatrace is very helpful to diagnose production issue and to pin-point, or narrow, the component where the issue is appearing
Great application monitor with easy and flexible configuration
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to diagnose issues and solve problems with applications in production. Although I never worked with the vendor personally, I heard from colleagues that they were very responsive. As long as you have someone on the team that already knows the application / UI, relatively easy tool to pick up. Able to solve and identify performance issues relatively quickly. Good at managing complex environments. Configuration for monitoring applications and services is very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very expensive. Developers need to deploy an agent on the same JVM in non-prod and prod environments, but it is a fairly easy configuration for a app development team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used within financial services industry for internal applications, so I have no feedback for a cloud architecture. It was very useful to monitor applications in production, especially during installations of java services.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Another team did the actual internal installation of Dynatrace, but configuration for other java services was fairly straight forward. Complimenting Dynatrace with Splunk worked nicely for Product Owners and developers that I've worked with.
Dynatrace is an easy-to-use monitoring tool
What do you like best about the product?
A fast and efficient APM.
It provides synthetic transaction monitoring and native mobile monitoring.
It can offer end-to-end visibility for all business-critical applications and domain isolation across complex multi
-tiered applications.
It has largest market share and largest expertise in APM.

What do you dislike about the product?
The UI looks old-fashion.
If the platform could be more cloud-based, the user experience would be improved.

Dynatrace is one of the best tools for monotiring JVM applications
What do you like best about the product?
A very handy tool to monitor application along its whole lifecycle from startup to shutdown. Also, the collected information are so detailed (e.g. method level or GC information) that we can spot easily problems like bottleneck or parts of the application that is the most heavy in terms of CPU or RAM footprint. Furthermore, it is even able to grab useful information (e.g. timers) from native code that can be packaged along with Java code.
What do you dislike about the product?
The need for deploying an agent on the same JVM as the application to be monitored. This means some special network ports have to be opened and if you're applications are deployed on a public cloud this will imply modifying the security groups. In the case the deployment is in premise then this will not be a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was part of a company that develops software for the financial sector, the application was developed in the J2EE specification. To be able to advice our customers for best setup, we evaluated many application monitoring tools available for the JVM. We did that in order to advice our clients on the best solution they could use to get a better understanding of the operational aspect of our application. Dynatrace was one of the tools that we advised our client to use if they had nothing already for Java applications monitoring.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dynatrace may be not easy to setup but the benefit gained from deploying it is worth the pain. It centralise operational information in a single interface enabling effective investigations in case of issues that may occurs to monitored applications.
Research for performance about .Net applications
What do you like best about the product?
Very fast to get a result. A lot of informations on each program call.
What do you dislike about the product?
Graphical interpretation wasn't very easy to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In pension applications, some problems with system oriented services (SOA).
