Best APM Tool on the Market

  • January 18, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Dynatrace is the best APM tool on the market. It tracks all user and bot interactions and stores them so you can later go back and investigate what may have caused an issue or made a user have a bad experience. We have this tool implemented on all of our eCommerce websites, apps, and servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I currently wish there were more features that related to digital marketing. We are constantly trying to verify real sessions and users and since dynatrace already gathers this information, it would be nice to have an out of the box way to bucket valid traffic into proper marketing channels.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance monitoring on web servers and commerce platforms.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Although the tool may seem expensive, it has proved it's worth time and time again when our site crashes or things go wrong. The business value we have gained from this tool is incredible.

Dynatrace APM Solution

  • January 17, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Dynatrace has allowed us to pinpoint quickly any pain points our clients experience with our applications and respond accordingly. I like how fast we can deep dive into the Pure Path to locate where issues are occurring.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see more features from the desktop client included in the web client. The web client is user-friendly and convenient but would be even better if we could do in it what can be done with the desktop client.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We experienced immediate results with Dynatrace. During the POC/evaluation of the product, we found the application was making thousands of database queries unnecessarily causing performance issues. With this information, the development team was able to re-architect the app and improve performance.

Good application monitoring tool

  • January 16, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
View Pure paths (transactions) from past so it is really the best tool to analyse the old production issues. Helps in displaying summary of what going on in application sever, for ex. DB hit ration. Helps identifying the bottlenecks in application efficiency.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow in initialisation. Takes time to display transactions. Need to improve more on error/exception handling information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Application and production monitoring.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Overall very good and only tool to give you final results sometimes.. certainly recommended.

Enhance your quality of service

  • January 15, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Dynatrace monitors 100% of our incoming transactions. It can give access to overall and global indicators (general application health) as well as very specific information (value of a cookie given to a specific user).
It brings light where we were blind: we are able to measure transaction count, response time and errors.
Dynatrace is used by several IT services: production, software engineer, SLA, Customer Relationship, ...
What do you dislike about the product?
The client is not really user friendly. But the efforts made to migrate from a heavy client to a web interface are starting to pay.
The automated exports are quite ugly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Incident diagnostic: Helps finding the tiers that is causing the degradation
Performance optimization: Helps finding the slowest transactions, to optimize them and get great results immediatly.
Trends: Avoid customer insatisfaction by acting before a performance degradation becomes a incident.

AppMon review

  • January 12, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
After having used AppMon since almost its initial release some like 10 years ago I am still amazed by its future-proof and rock-solid design to this day. Being the "older brother" of today's cloud-native "Dynatrace SaaS/Managed" solution (initially called "Ruxit") it has still many unique features and advantages to offer. First and foremost I value very much being in control over what is being measured and for what purpose. AppMon gives you a staggering amount of control and flexibility to analyze what your code is doing "in the wild" and I like to think of it as the swiss army knife of Application Performance Management. With its highly customizable integration options and extensibility using a REST API as well as a powerful plugin architecture there is almost no goal that can't be accomplished, no matter how complex or outlandish your problem might be. And last but not least for me it has been a learning tool of tremendous value over the years as it allowed me to "see the truth" of what was actually happening on our infrastructure - which more often than not was quite far from what one would imagine or what was initially designed... I learned about hidden problem patterns, coding blunders and deeply rooted systemic and/or architectural flaws. which would have gone completely undetected until it was too late if it wasn't for the level of early insight provided by AppMon.

One other area where AppMon shines is in test automation and integration and its unique capabilities in providing accurate early warnings in your build & deployment pipelines when architectural or performance regressions are detected during your automated tests.

AppMon has delivered a proven track record of being a very stable solution with negligible impact on the monitored components.
What do you dislike about the product?
The sheer flexibility of the tool might be somewhat intimidating to new users and learning to understand the core concepts like custom dashboards, business transactions, purepaths and user experience management is very important but certainly no easy task, especially if one has no previous background in application development.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AppMon has dramatically reduced the number of "war room" type situations and helped a lot to establish the basis for DevOps as it has eliminated the technical and mindset "silos" which have grown over many years. For the management it is providing high-confidence application health and performance data which is used to evaluate SLA's against.
AppMon keeps providing valuable data very successfully, especially as we are able to analyze longer time scales allowing us to detect slow-evolving but potentially dangerous trends.
Through the extensive use of REST API's and custom plugins we are able to fulfill almost every (un)imaginable integration requirement being thrown at us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Providing a bullet-proof case for a positive ROI can be painfully difficult, therefore it might take some careful planning and determination to convince your CTO/CEO to make an investment into the tool. If you suffered a lot from well documented major incidents and war rooms you should use that information to make a strong, data-driven case.

Great Tool for Performance Monitoring

  • January 12, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Dynatrace is a great tool to debug the issues and performance and easy to integrate with all the performance testing tools and CI/CD tools.
Has very good dashboard list to represent the metrics. Dynatrace saves a lot of time in determining what is the likely cause of an issue/bottleneck an end user maybe experiencing. The PurePath technology helps to trace flow of a transaction in the application and is the basis for top down analysis, which tells how an application or transaction is impacted by the underlying infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not concerns
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Load testing resulted high response time, when track down at granular level using
pure path technology , it pin-points the SQL Query was responsible for taking loner time to execute , when concurrent users in the system . After fixing this issue Performance improved a lot better and able to upgrade.

What do you like best about the product?
It is a good compliment to infrastructure or device level monitoring.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We want to be more proactive in detection of possible application problems that are not detectable through standard IT infrastructure monitoring tools.

Appmon is Able to Find Deep Issues

  • January 09, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Dynatrace Appmon does a great job at finding deep rooted issues with code or systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setup takes a considerable amount of time to instrument. Their new product (Managed) makes it a little easier as it only takes one instrumentation to cover all applications on the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to find inefficient code, slow response, etc. within our applications, making it easier to find root cause
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dynatrace is top of the line when it comes to forward looking companies.
