Dynatrace and Performance Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
I like the web Version rather than client version due to ease of creating dashboard
What do you dislike about the product?
DO not see Information on JDBC and Thread pool .ALso custom Thread pools in Websphere is not seen
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transaction tracking end to end for long Pole Response time Transactions so we can identify RCA
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Analyse your needs correctly and but the agents and license appropriately else you may end up with Half APM information than what you would expect . in short work identify agent needs ahead of implemenattion by involving right folks
Working with Dynatrace 6.5
What do you like best about the product?
Dynatrace has some good features in this version. A better way of handling Application information using purepath. Some dashboards are good. Also, recently we did the upgrade and the whole upgrade process was very easy.
We are using APM & APM (Application performance management) solutions monitor and manage the performance and availability of software applications. For real user interactions and business transactions are monitored and analyzed down to code level to provide actionable insights.
If we would start over again, one area that I feel we could do better is around the acceptance and adoption around the tools being used for setting up monitoring landscape for any application . I would want to position such tools not just as a monitoring tool but also as application performance enhancement and management tool. Hence making them part og application development lifecycle.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would say I found it difficult to work with MQ in this version of Dynatrace & without clear documentation & support from Dynatrace team, it was more disappointing.
The product could be made a little bit more user friendly speially for the technical folks working on setting up applications and configurations on the tool. Certain tabs could be made more explanatory, and a very specific hand on documentation for most common best practice configuartions could really help.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dynatrace was been used for application performance and bottlenecks evaluation. I realize that with every newer version of Dynatrace, much better functionalities has been included.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely recommend Dynatrace as a product to any organization willing to look at application performance management for their application landscape.
Dynatrace has come up with variety of services covering a wide scope of applications be it on premise/in cloud or 3rd party owned using Artificial Intelligence. Also the monitoring services offered are various to suit the kind of monitoring needs .

Dynatrace is a useful tool
What do you like best about the product?
Dynatrace truly does provide the visibility needed to identify why your performance or security is low. We found that we cut down on site down time by using the tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only challenge with Dynatrace is that if your environment is not hosted all in one place, you have to install multiple agents to make sure everything is covered and you get the full value.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Increase site uptime and performance, identifying critical issues before they impact the bottom line
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make the most of the trial to see if the product is truly the right fit for you.
Dynatrace Review
What do you like best about the product?
The real time alerts. Also like tracing performance issues down to the thread causing it.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's confusing setting the alert levels.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring website performance and uptime.
Good Partner to Work with
What do you like best about the product?
Apart from good technology, Dynatrace has good Business Development people on the ground who makes it easier to work with the company.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing in particular. However, they can focus more on creating awareness of their product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are working with Dynatrace to help our customers solve their business problems and helping them in their digital transformation journey.
Consulting lead responsible for multiple Dynatrace monitoring implementations
What do you like best about the product?
Purepaths / visibility into every transaction and visibility into the entire call stack.
What do you dislike about the product?
Web dashboard capabilities are still horrible in v7 APM and DSM.
Report capabilities are lacking in both products.
Customizing alerts stinks in both product.
Alert consolidation stinks in both products.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Website performance and availability are the main issues we are always working on. Increased stability, improved performance and improved user satisfaction are the benefits.
Very good for infrastructure monitoring, not so much for application performance
What do you like best about the product?
Pure paths ! It's a great way to have a view of the web request from the user client to the JVM stack and DB call
What do you dislike about the product?
The performance monitoring, especially the thread samples. It doesnt go to the level of checking each thread stack, comparing multiple dumps or spotting deadlocks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work a lot on our customers I infrastructure and application performance, so dynatrace saves us a lot of time , to nearly spot the root cause or point of failure in the system
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When analyzing pure paths, the execution times can be misleading, always consider that there is some overhead from dynatrace itself (I think it's due to how the agents work).
Great real-time monitoring tool of performance and issues
What do you like best about the product?
Great software to monitor performance and usage of application both on-premise and in the cloud. Helps diagnoses issues immediately, even proactively identify possible sources of issues and bugs, keeps record of CPU usage. Pretty intuitive to operate once system fully installed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price, price and price. Almost was a deal-breaker, had to wait several month before we were able to get sufficient IT budget clearance to purchase license and implement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smoother running of most web-based applications, careful performance monitoring, early issue identification, real-time problem diagnostics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dynatrace is a fantastic performance monitoring tool to help you build more reliable applications, track experience of individual users and anticipate problems before they occur. Program is definitely on the pricier side, but will eventually ay for itself and make it very much worth the fiancial burden.
An expensive top notch monitoring tool
What do you like best about the product?
its a top notch monitoring tool which provides great metrics from UX, mobile, usability. They have rich reporting capabilities with interactive interfaces
What do you dislike about the product?
Starting plan itself is pricey. Additional vertical offerings for application performance management, standalone synthetic monitoring, and data center RUM are not included.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Have a powerful monitoring tool that can provide detailed metrics across all platforms and channels.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its definitely expensive but gives you a wider options in monitoring. If you are considering this, then your application monitoring is key for your business because even a small downtime or lack of insight means losing money in your domain. If that's not the reason, then may be you can look for a cheaper option
Dynatrace is faster and easy to implement
What do you like best about the product?
I've only used Dynatrace for a while as a part of my project (shifted from Nagios) and I can say it's pretty easy to implement (from a first time user point of view).
The core technology of the product is its patented PurePath Technology which allows to trace every single transaction (like web request, batch jobs etc.) from end-to-end.
Dynatrace APM tools provide UI/UX analysis that identifies and resolves application performance issues faster than many other competitors used in software industry.
They have a great support for IBM technology and an excellent experience in the AIX space.

What do you dislike about the product?
We were working on banking projects and often used multiple server technologies including C++. Initial setup was straightforward while implementing Java and .net, but a bit complex in the case of C++. I felt if they could just facilitate the installation of the agent on server applications for various languages.
DynaTrace provides a more transaction level view(compared to largely aggregated view some APM provide) however, I would have loved if it would have provided more specifics like which part of the code/module is taking a long time to execute.
DynaTrace is way too expensive when compared to one of those top APM tools(like New Relic).

DynaTrace is way too expensive when compared to one of those top APM tools(like New Relic).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Other APM mainly focus on monitoring systems, infrastructure and networks whereas Dynatrace is a whole lot more complex and far more developed for the kind of projects we deal with.
It is also monitoring your whole infrastructure and with that set of informations(you provide) and that let you to figure out if there are any application performance problems especially if they're related to infrastructure, server, code, database or any other tier.
The best feature that helped with our business is that there were
• No Stability issues
• No Scalability issues
• Executing performance testing and supervising the application response with Dynatrace, then collaborate with developers to solve issues.
