I use Dynatrace to monitor large client infrastructures
What do you like best about the product?
The holistic view that Dynatrace provides into the performance of a client infrastructure. Also the capability to record sessions for analyzing performance issues
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to convince clients that the high-price tag is worth it. Also platforms seems to have a relatively high learning curve for people that never used it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance tuning and monitoring large client infrastructures running our platform.

Dynatrace is awesome
What do you like best about the product?
The level of support that I get from Dynatrace
What do you dislike about the product?
The old client interface was complex, but the new web interfaces make it much easier to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time to resolve problems is down immensely, with Dynatrace pinpointing a problem proactively is amazingly easy.
Market leading APM
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to fault diagnose to code level through the entire delivery pipeline. Faults in Production are traceable through Dev/Integration/Test. This reduces the number of issues making it to live but also gives operations/infrastructure the ability to talk to developers in a common language.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is not a simple fire and forget application. Time must be taken training everyone who uses the application, not just a few who set the system up. Buy-in must be top down to realise the full benefits of the application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are the obvious benefits of detecting issues early in the development lifecycle but there are benefits that are above what was expected - security threats, DNS poisoning, multiple api calls for a single action, the ability to track license costs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't under estimate the ability to capture 100% of all transactions. This should be a requirement when doing comparison. Not all major issues are in the top X of problems, some are in the 0.1% of visits but are the most costly.
Solution Engineering Manager
What do you like best about the product?
The insight that the Dynatrace platform provides is quite amazing through the simple installation of the One-Agent. The replaying of "Problems" can provide deep understanding of how an issue developed.
What do you dislike about the product?
The vast amount of detail available can take time to sift through to find the areas that are going to provide the most valuable insight on your environment. Take time to develop a relevant DashBoard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Managed Service provider the value we can provide to our customers, on top of infrastructure monitoring, is in a language that they understand more clearly and that is the experience of their customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the 15 day trial - you will be amazed at the insight the platform provides.
Helped solve our performance problems
What do you like best about the product?
Dynatrace provides the most comprehensive and detailed information about application performance of any of the APM vendors (and I've used a few). It makes it easy to access and lays it out in the way a developer or performance engineer thinks about it. It's an essential tool for anyone who cares about performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot of data provided, sometimes inexperienced users get overwhelmed and don't know how to optimally analyze the data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to have fast root cause analysis of performance problems during development and production. It helped enable our testing cycles reduce from months to weeks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the best of the major APM vendors for detailed analysis needed to execute on performance engineering initiatives.
Java Application Performance Nirvana
What do you like best about the product?
If you are running a Java application, this product is a must have. This product was able to pinpoint our performance problems in mere minutes. Past attempts to glean this information manually took teams of engineers several days/weeks to gather.
Relatively easy to install. User interface is fairly intuitive.
Relatively easy to install. User interface is fairly intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
The required number of servers/VMs to support this product are more than expected. Between collectors, indexers, and databases, we have about 8 servers per site dedicated to Dynatrace.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking down performance issues within our Java applications. We have been able to pinpoint performance issues within minutes instead of spending weeks. In addition, we've been able to baseline our performance and track performance between releases.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very powerful tool to have especially if you set it up before you have performance issues. It is also extremely helpful in finding performance issues before you go to market with your application. In addition, the User Experience Module/Manager allows you to see application performance starting at a user's browser all the way through the tiers of your application.
Smart monitoring solution
With ruxit everything worked just out of the box.
No code changes, no configuration no threshold hassle. I executed only two commands on each host and mere seconds later my whole environment showed up in what ruxit calls “Smartscape view”.
High Performance on software
Ruxit offers more then monitoring.
For us, ruxit gives a objective vision and intelligence for IT operations that needs high performance.
Is fantastic see quickly the impact of bad performance to my customers and fix this in a fast time!
