With Dynatrace, my company pretty much utilizes it to try and catch performance issues before certain issues get created on our online banking platforms, as well as for technical performance issues in our internal systems and to make sure that our users get the best experience. The aforementioned details consist of three use cases. Obviously, my company stopped using some of Dynatrace's features since we started getting a few issues as certain services have gone down or been degraded. With Dynatrace, my company receives pop-ups on our site in terms of an alert to which we can react if needed, and it helps us minimize any negative impact on our clients or business stakeholders.

It is based not on use, but rather on users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracing bugs that are difficult to replicate in none production environments
Rookout has been invaluable to us
What do you like best about the product?
Rookout gives a way to debug in production that I've never seen anywhere else! It has been very helpful in tracking down issues that are impossible to reproduce in staging or to gather information when we don't know how to reproduce the issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
The filters to select which servers to add breakpoints to doesn't always work well when there are a couple thousand servers involved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Debugging issues in production when we don't know how to reproduce them locally.
Very simple to operate and integrate, and this is its main advantage.
What do you like best about the product?
Very simple to use and integrate. Also simple to incorporate in the codebase.
What do you dislike about the product?
The focus on the "online debugging" use case is indeed powerful, but limits the use to a certain use case. The product should bring more features for analysis of memory, cpu and profiling and performance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Debugging complex issues on production become much easier when we can put breakpoints in real production code.

What do you dislike about the product?
Unclear roadmap for migration from old to new UI
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anomaly & Problem detection, creating dynamic baseline of traffic,response time & failure rate to notification deviation
A SaaS-based product with great technical support and easy setup phase
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
With Dynatrace, I think I like its ability to dive deep down into each service and application at the code level. You can see Dynatrace interacting with other applications, so it gives you a good understanding of where things go wrong. I think it is just that Dynatrace gives you great observability on your platform.
What needs improvement?
With Dynatrace, there is nothing that I would like to see improved in the product right now. Dynatrace pretty much fits in and meets all the checkboxes or requirements of my company. I know that a new product from Dynatrace will be launched soon, and my company may plan to move to it, so I think all the requests from my company's end related to Dynatrace may actually get covered in the new product.
From an enhancement perspective, I would like Dynatrace to focus on areas related to cognitive AI since it can help its users better understand their problems. With AI-related enhancements in Dynatrace, I can talk to the tool in English. Instead of getting some codes from the tool, Dynatrace can tell me the problem in a normal and understandable English language. If I am not mistaken, the aforementioned AI-related area may actually be released in the new version of Dynatrace.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Dynatrace since 2013, making it almost ten years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a 100 percent stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Dynatrace is a highly scalable product since it is a SaaS-based application. As it is a SaaS-based application, you can deploy ActiveGate wherever you need it or closest to your environment.
Though I cannot check the list of the users who use the solution and don't have access to see the number of old users, many people use the solution. It would be close to around 300 users presently who use Dynatrace.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support is extremely good. If in our company, we are stuck with something, Dynatrace's technical support team is always quick to respond, and they always have answers to our questions.
I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have experience with SolarWinds and Applications Manager from ManageEngine. I predominantly use Dynatrace.
The pros of Dynatrace are that you are able to drill down to see in-depth how your application is performing, how your host is performing, and how your business services are performing, right from the cloud level down to the codes. The con of Dynatrace is that, at times, because it has so much information, it becomes difficult to see the root cause of your problem, and then you have to dig around to find the root cause.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of the product is a relatively easy process since it is a SaaS-based platform. Previously, with Dynatrace, my company had it deployed on an on-premises model. Currently, when my company deals with the setup processes of the product, it is really easy since you just install the agents on your server or on your hosts, after which the product starts to do what it needs to do, and then you can just create your dashboards and alert systems. If you understand the application, the setup phase is a really simple process.
The solution's deployment and maintenance processes are handled by a team consisting of four members for both South Africa and the UK, and they also readily function as a support team. In terms of deployment and product administration, you can know how to utilize the tool from a much broader base.
What other advice do I have?
Owing to the fact that Dynatrace is a SaaS-based product, there isn't much maintenance required. My company only subscribes to the services provided by the solution, and Dynatrace looks after the maintenance part, a major reason why only a small team is required to administer it.
I recommend Dynatrace to those who plan to use it since it is a Rolls Royce of monitoring tools with which you can't go wrong. Dynatrace gives you exactly what you want. There are no comparisons to Dynatrace with any other tool out there in the market.
Dynatrace is a brilliant product.
I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.
