Amazing APM tool for complete issue analysis and faster issue identification.
Great APM tool and ranks top in the market. I would prefer Dynatrace in short for below reasons- Faster Problem identification through AI - Davis- Performance Monitoring using RUM metrics- Application monitoring - 4xx/5xx , Response time, Traffic - Infrastructure monitoring - CPU, memory, GC usage- Database monitoring - long query execution, DB connection pool time- Synthetic monitoring - To mimic the customer journey and run the script for every 5 to 10 minutes
PROSAI alerts are very critical and highly useful. Automatic problem identification in Dynatrace is a highly helpful in identify the issue more quicker. Thanks to Davis AI engine. Useful to do a trend Analysis with the reporting - Gives site availability metrics, Response time, Error rate for each services. SLO/SLA can be tracked with these reporting. Provides detailed trace about any issue and the exact cause of the problem for any abnormalities identified with this host/services/applications. Host analysis helps in identifying unhealthy host with high CPU, memory or thread usage.Helpful in application analysis like 4xx/5xx, response time, Apdex. Helpful in application analysis like 4xx/5xx, response time, Apdex. Deeper insight provided in the distributed traces. Helps in tracking the website page performance, gives above the fold metrics - LCP, FID, VCT, etc. Response time has different aggregations - Avg, 95th percentile, 99th percentile. Gives exact cause in the waterfall to understand which element is causing the increase in response time. Full Transaction monitoring with the services flow across various layers starting from webserver, appserver, database, external systems is added advantage.
CONSCan add more on the RUM metrics and customer session replay in future would be helpful.Exposure to customer about the new launches and functionalities can be increased.

It makes me really sad to see such good products go downhill over the last few years.
We are able to track availability/performance and find the root cause of both performance and availability issues.
PROSWe selected the Dynatrace APM product over ten years ago, and I have been using their synthetic product since 2008. I love the ability to find the root cause of a problem using these products. They are both really good tools that are wonderful for getting to the core of the issue.
CONSI have used the original Dynatrace APM product and the Gomez Synthetic products for almost ten years. I absolutely cannot stand the way they change the menus around with the various releases. I used to be able to walk people through how to find things over the phone, but now it is almost impossible. These user design changes are not what a system administrator should be spending their time learning. I might as well select a new product that doesn't change so that I only have to learn one more additional system. We have also lost features over the years that we have used, and the reports and maintenance window configuration have an awful time with time zones, even though they have drop-downs for each report. This was once a very dependable product that has lost its way in trying to add new features and alter the user experience. Support has dropped off significantly as well. I used to be able to email or call support, now there is no option to email and when calling support they walk you through creating a case in their customer portal before even attempting to hear my question/problem. We also used to have weekly calls with our account manager to review problems and upcoming features. I have been transferred to a new account manager more times in the last few years than I have even spoken to them.
