Dynatrace delivers enterprise-class APM!
What do you like best about the product?
We have been very happy with the ease of installation and use of Dynatrace as a APM tool. The Dynatrace OneAgent client is easy to install on both Windows and Linux servers. Creating synthetic application monitors is also very straightforward. Dynatrace is giving us a lot more detail for troubleshooting application issues in one pane of glass. The Dynatrace console is SaaS based - which is very nice so we don't have to manage more servers and services on-prem.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any major dislikes with Dynatrace so far. We would like it to differentiate itself more with cloud monitoring for Azure resources, but other than everything has gone quite well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of our critical, customer-facing applications are getting monitored via Dynatrace so that we can monitor performance and be proactive about any issues that arise. One key benefit of Dynatrace is having the ability to identify the issue and deep-dive into the application stack from one tool to shorten the troubleshooting time to determine the root cause analysis faster.
Dynatrace NoOps: All in AiOps and Ux Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Dynatrace platform is easy to installation and configuration. Cluster resilience is something i never meet before on the market. Several mechanism guarantee enterprise resilience under heavy traffic (load reduction) and easy cluster update addition new node
AI engine for proactive incident management, root cause analysis. Out of the box solution with a lot of metric, function to analysis both infrastructure / application hot spot.
Born for E2E monitoring, cloud and devops can be integrated via API with ICT tools.
Customer UX analysis
A deep dive in the tool philosophy is necessary in order to have the correct mindset to set medium/long term goals.

What do you dislike about the product?
Cost model is not so flexible to cover enterprise company needs at the moment but they 're working on. If you need to split licence cost base on monitored asset in a distributed environment is not possible to manage cost split / control out of the box but you must create your dedicated reporting outside the tool in order to fit "basic" needs.
Reporting feature for governance functions /administrator/application owner are limited. To cover this use cases you must use API and develop your custom solution.
App solution has limited functions.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dynatrace can help from several prospective:
reduction of numbers of tool use for monitoring moving all in one Application covering all your infrastructure layers
real time data analysis and AI root cause analysis
Full E2E monitoring: new data for business and customer UX monitoring
boosting incident management process
identify system/application slowdown before they become service interruption
monitor site availability
Drive digital transformation and ITIL process improvement (incident / change Management)
My recommendation is to have a clear "big picture" about use case to be covered in order to use the platform at the best base on the NoOps /AiOps philosophy otherwise will be only "another tools" in your asset portfolio. Minset change is mandatory from APM series 2.0 to 3.0 in order to boost digital transformation and boost your business.

Dynatrace
What do you like best about the product?
everything! Dynatrace has it all! not just an apm but also a network, and application monitor. we had a sev 1 a few months ago and back in the day my team of 6 would "divide and conquer" by looking into the logs of the different components like our proxy service, firewall, dns, host hardware and that could take 1-2 hrs at best! with Dynatrace 1 click, we had all the logs, problem breakdown and actual timeframe of what happened and where- the whole process? 15 min! it's hard to say dynatrace doesn't work!
What do you dislike about the product?
at this time i can't say i don't like anything, me and my team love it!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
in the past we had people puushing code to prod without wartning or changes in place and was our job to spend hours troubleshooting why prod was broken. since dynatrace we can monitor a host and see changes done in code to the extent of timestamp and file path and file.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
have an idea what you are looking to implement- have the name tagging ready for when you are going to start implementing, watch the dynatrace university videos
dynatrace is the best service to monitor your apps
What do you like best about the product?
the detail with which we can see and detect a problem as well as detect it in time so as not to have service outages. The way in which it can be managed as well as the way in which the entire infrastructure and processes of each application can be monitored is of great help to mitigate errors and failures in applications before and already in production. The ease with which we can create dashboards is also something I like since they can be customized according to the needs of the application owners in terms of the alerts that should be given to avoid problems in these
What do you dislike about the product?
having to go around too much to find the root of a problem, there are also graphics that are very difficult to understand in the first attempts, they should be a bit easier to analyze, as well as there should be a section where reports can be generated on the applications that are monitored within dynatrace, Another negative point is the value of the licenses, although it is understandable for all that the service offers us
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improving response times for calls to services or databases has greatly improved response times for applications, additional in the company thanks to the detection of http errors 400 and 500 it has been possible to give stability to a large part of the applications monitored in dynatrace, also the notifications and prediction of anomalies give a true value above the competition to dynatrace
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Of course, thanks to Dynatrace you can see in detail the detection of anomalies has been very helpful for the identification of errors in the development or putting into production of the applications
Great APM tool!
What do you like best about the product?
The new dynatrace UI is a big improvement over their older appmon. Improved agent now discovers all processes on a host automatically. Services and assets are discovered and flows are generated automatically!
What do you dislike about the product?
THere's always multiple ways to approach a solution and sometimes it can be confusing on what is the best practice to follow. Some of the Dynatrace API's that are accessible for external clients are still works in progress. You cannot access the same metrics that you can create internally within Dynatrace with the API.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
From an Operations perspective, Dynatrace has allowed us to gain insight into the service flows of many applications. Often a problem will be several layers downstream of the main application and Dynatrace alerts us to this and advises us on the potential impacted clients automatically.
Waterfall Resolution
What do you like best about the product?
Synthetics helps me with Real-time performance calculations. We can see node updates every 5 times from geographical views using Gomez User Agents.
What do you dislike about the product?
Waterfalls are too detailed at the Object level. Every object on the Landing Page is evaluated for its utility to the consumer experience
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tolerated and Frustrated consumer experiences. We can quickly resolve our consumer's digital experience within 60 minutes, or 60 seconds
Full Stack visibility instantly and accurately.

Smile! You are being monitored by Dynatrace
What do you like best about the product?
From new deliveries of Dynatrace solutions always
What do you dislike about the product?
key action limit per tenant, 500 is little for those who implemented 65 applications
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving an AWS Lambda implementation problem with Node.js, we had an impact on the production environment to download agent serverless, support is already helping us with that
Recommendations to others considering the product:
use hosts groups when installing oneagent
Great tool to analyze complex performance issues
What do you like best about the product?
Great toolkit, quick and solid provisioning.
Helped a lot in diagnosis of a complex performance issue with multiple parties involved.
Even with only the possibility to monitor the client side, we could easily show that there is a performance issue and use the log data to help the involved providers solve the issue.
Once rolled out, Dynatrace works stable and no issues have occured in running the solution.
The amount of existing features and possibility exceeds expectations and current requirements.

What do you dislike about the product?
Commerical process took much longer than expected. Probably the start in the summer holiday season was a reason for that, however for a digital product I would expect an offer much quicker.
Unfortunately during the trial and when trying to take over the setup to the subscription, the instance got lost and we had to start from scratch again.
Pricing scheme is rather difficult to understand and forecast when you start. The pricing scheme has changed and in my opinion it wasn't simplified.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Java-based application that connects to an externally managed and hosted mainframe, the application is serviced by another party, connection through a VPN. All regular trouble shooting failed, with everyone claiming that the problem must be some other component.
We use this to verify user claims on application perfomance, and also to address issues before the user complains.

Invest time in a POC and try to understand pricing for your environment at an early time.
Reliable product for monitoring and supervising large infrastructures
What do you like best about the product?
Overall limited but very good experience in a company where we use it to track, monitor and find problem causes for the critical infrastructure of a 2 milion users portal. Very reliable, I would say!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the amount of features and services can be overwhelming in finding what you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracing transactions and finding where problems occurred is our main benefit
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for Dynatrace, especially while looking for a stable platform to monitor your large infrastructures. While looking for the root cause of a failed transactions, it might help you to find where exactly it failed very easily. The project I work for, a 2 milion user platform is carefully monitored by Dynatrace and without it, it wouldn't be that stable.
