The product helps identify issues and get to the root cause, but some features must be made more robust
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
The product helps us identify issues in the application and get to the root cause immediately. We can understand why a client experiences slowness, whether it is due to DB or some issue at the front end. It could also be an issue relating to their zone. We can also use the tool to understand the impact of the technical issue and the loss to business.
What is most valuable?
PurePath is one of the best features. We can add tags to the dashboard that we create. Synthetic user creation is also a good feature.
What needs improvement?
PurePath must be more robust. Dynatrace detects problems at a higher level. When we select a time zone and identify the problems, we should get a detailed analysis of the impact directly. We shouldn’t have to drill down to get that information since the solution already has the details of the exceptions. We have to create tags for some log-ins. It should be handled automatically to reduce tagging.
