It is more than just performance monitoring

  • December 20, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The details of this tool allow for our developers and administrators to dissect the exact cause for the performance issue and resolve it on the fly. The built-in intelligence also provides a quick view to get the "all clear" or "there's a problem" on the dashboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
You really need to learn how best to use the tool. This is not a simple add and go if you want to dig into the details.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our usage is about user experience and reducing delay time for work. We used this for our SharePoint environment and it helped us determine not only application issues, but hardware and backend SQL issues.

Dynatrace - A helpful tool!

  • December 20, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

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

  • December 20, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

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.

Great insight through application instrumentalisation and monitoring

  • July 26, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

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

  • June 05, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

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.
