Chose Dynatrace
Single Agent deployment
AI analysis that provides insight discovery and pure path
Able to analyst performance data quickly and next hop.
Chose Dynatrace
New relic was mostly like readonly dashboard and restricted how we slice and dice the data presented to us. Ability to drill down was seriously limited.
Chose Dynatrace
Dynatrace UI seems better compared to splunk also DT gives better flexibility in terms of plans and costs. For logging monitoring we are using splunk and splunk is better for that purpose. But hosts and server monitoring and alerting perspective Dynatrace is better. Dynatrace …
Chose Dynatrace
Dynatrace gives the overall picture of the application usage and performance by default with minimal configurations whereas in Datadog a lot of manual intervention is required to analyze the application performance and troubleshooting the issues. Dynatrace is user-friendly when …
Chose Dynatrace
Dynatrace has three key points: ease of deployment, ease of access and a very low learning curve. Also the info provided by the DT agents are easy to understand and relate to root cause. Also the user interface is very simple and can be configured/shared to provide the data to …
Chose Dynatrace
We selected Dynatrace because it is much more modern and depends on AI, on auto-discovery, and other features, making it really a next-gen monitoring solution. It is not easy to on-board to Dynatrace, as it has an extremely steep learning curve. It is also possible that other …
Chose Dynatrace
Dynatrace has better PHP microservice monitoring than AppDynamics. There is also no sampling.
Chose Dynatrace
Dynatrace is far superior to the other products. The single pane of glass and ease of use are why we chose Dynatrace.
Chose Dynatrace
Some of these tools we use alongside Dynatrace, and others we chose Dynatrace over. Since Ruby is not a Dynatrace supported language, we use New Relic to monitor those applications. We are an AWS shop so naturally, we use CloudWatch metrics for things like auto-scaling where it …
Chose Dynatrace
I have used a plethora of Application Performance Management (APM) tools, all have their niche. Dynatrace provides the best-in-class experience for support, operations, and platform engineering teams. In addition, access for my Enterprise Development teams has been critical. …
Chose Dynatrace
BMC was only a basic APM with not much detail or drilling into the issue. It only showed there was a problem with the host. Before Dynatrace, to troubleshoot an issue we had to log into different consoles for different applications and review logs. Now with a quick visual and a …
Chose Dynatrace
The Dynatrace product was much more feature-rich than New Relic. We went through multiple proofs of concepts with each vendor using our actual system. We found that both did some things the same but in other areas, the Dynatrace product was much better. There was a black box …
Chose Dynatrace
Dynatrace is much more expensive than Pingdom, but it does a better job of doing synthetic monitors and the credential store is much better. When it comes to availability it does a better job of creating of synthetic monitors and it can create a credential store which is a big …
Chose Dynatrace
AppDynamics and New Relic did not provide the ease of usability and the amount of automation that Dynatrace is able to provide us.
Chose Dynatrace
I would consider Network Application Monitoring as looking at and under the foundation, while Dynatrace provides insights to the house and structure.
Chose Dynatrace
We didn't like AppDynamics as much we like Dynatrace.
Chose Dynatrace
I have not evaluated any other monitoring products. Our company has evaluated other products that have not stacked up against Dynatrace. Dynatrace has deeper monitoring than others and provides excellent alerting capabilities. Dynatrace was selected for those features as well …
Chose Dynatrace
Dynatrace provides the best insights into our environment from end to end. It provides user sessions throughout the application so, we can see exactly what users are doing and potentially not only fix problems but provide improvements before any issues arise. There is no …
Chose Dynatrace
Dynatrace is superior to all other products on the market.
Chose Dynatrace
Dynatrace is much easier and more thorough than DX APM.
ExtraHop Performance Platform
Chose ExtraHop Performance Platform
Unfortunately we have not used any other products like ExtraHop Performance Platform. This was decided before I came onboard with the company.
Chose ExtraHop Performance Platform
A new and very useful ability of ExtraHop [Performance Platform] is the single tool for cloud forensics. Cloud incidents can easily be determined with the ability to implement responses along with assessments to easy the burden of reports. In comparison to Netscout, ExtraHop's …
Chose ExtraHop Performance Platform
  • Extrahop has more 'canned' reports out of the box than Splunk and is arguably easier to use.
  • Extrahop is more app-centric and less network-centric than NetScout.
  • Extrahop provides better Application transaction monitoring and analysis than Solarwinds.
Chose ExtraHop Performance Platform
Actually Extrahop and Dynatrace they are quite similar, actually we have both of them being used in my business organization. I have found Extrahop had local technical support available in my city so made it a bit easy to communicate and seek for support if we met any problem …
Chose ExtraHop Performance Platform
We use ExtraHop specifically to monitor network traffic. It does many other things very well also, but it is the best network traffic analysis tool that we currently have in house. The fact that it is agentless also makes it more reliable and not dependent on agents running on …
Chose ExtraHop Performance Platform
Other tools have similar features, but will require agents. ExtraHop is agentless. After-sales support is extraordinary, the best I've experienced of any vendor.
Chose ExtraHop Performance Platform
ExtraHop complements these platforms and provides additional information that could be marked as either a false positive or an undetected threat. ExtraHop helps confirm threats that are identified by these other systems and provides a unique security solution through the form …

User Testimonials
DynatraceExtraHop Performance Platform
Likelihood to Recommend
Dynatrace is well suited to a number of tasks. It is important to determine who the end users are and gather good information to tailor their experience accordingly. For instance, business/marketing should not have access to some of the more technical data, and business metrics can be a distraction for IT operations personnel.

ExtraHop is going to replace our packet capture and storage technology since it not only detects network security breaches but can also have sensors installed throughout our network to look at historical packet captures for analysis. ExtraHop is well suited for threat mitigation, network segmentation, and threat analysis of the network.

Pros
  • We loved Dynatrace's ability to show the data flow - from the front end points through the back end points straight to the database and various API's. It was advanced in its data visualization. This is useful for debugging - showing when/where the errors are. It can even enable non-technical individuals in the corporation to help debug
  • Dynatrace has some great highly customizable integration options as well as monitoring. You can configure your layout & integration options to create custom monitoring alerts for your applications performance. Further you can increase the extensibility of using a REST API on your architecture.
  • Some advanced dev-ops systems are utilizing Kubernetes/docker aswell as Node.JS - Dynatrace was able to log and help understand all of our dev-ops needs. It gave us native alerts based off of deviations from the baseline that we set during initial configuration. These metrics are priceless.

  • Extrahop can perform health monitoring end to end if you have multiple probes deployed in your network, the intelligence engine can easily help you to compare and data collected from different hops and help you to narrow down the issue to a specific part of your end to end network.
  • Extrahop is not just analyzing and monitoring the health of the network, actually, its deep-dive analysis engine can perform an analysis from the network layer up to the application layer. It's easy to identify the root cause whether it's a network issue or something wrong in the application, save the time to have the issue go around again and again between network team and application team to blame each other.
  • Extrahop provides good programming functionalities allowing the user to do their specific programing to meet the requirement of how they design to better operate the service.

Cons
  • Dynatrace does not monitor easily on AIX OS.
  • Dynatrace does not monitor easily on a C-based application.
  • The way DPGR is addressed by Dynatrace is not very complete, and not clear. One thing is to mask the IP and request attributes but is not enough, the replay session feature is great but raises serious questions about user tracking.

  • Search functionality could improve
  • Legacy devices show in the app even after they are removed or decommissioned. This can be confusing
  • Support is decent but not great

We have got tremendous support and response from the dynatrace support team as well as the larger community. We still have issues like the lack of role based administration, but we are told that it may be coming in a future release. The team is very supportive and has assisted us in several tough situations.

Usability
Dynatrace is great to use once you understand how to use it correctly and get used to the layout of it. While I do not actively use it every day, whenever I do use it, I do have to get refamiliarized with it. However, once you have your dashboards setup correctly with the data that you want to see when you first login to Dynatrace, it's amazing.

I wish I could have given the ten points but based on my experience in past I am reducing by two points as the penalty. But I am sure that it will have improved in the past few months. They need some improvement on ticket handling. Overall I appreciate some of the support folks who responded quickly and also were ready to jump on the Webex and get the problem understood to fix it.

Like I mentioned earlier, Dynatrace is a great tool but comes with a heavy price tag. On the other hand, Foglight offers a slightly lower level of expertise in application monitoring but fulfils almost all the requirements you would commonly have. The only major feature lacking in Foglight is the predictive monitoring feature. If you are an SME struggling with budgets, then predictive monitoring is something you can certainly live without.
