Dynatrace serves SMBs and Enterprises.
Developers, Marketing agencies, Managed service providers (MSPs). Anyone who is responsible for a website/web service and needs to know if the website goes down.
The best and loveable part of this application its been used in all the core business to track their growth and their performance. It has unified monitoring for business operations and development.
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.
Advantages: we have a lot many advantages like we can save large amount of the time as this look over all the changes required and give us the insights in very less time.
It annoys me that Dynatrace sometimes can take a long time to identify and analyze processes, which can disappoint you.
Small startups, stay away from ruxit, I signed up with them because their pre-sale service was amazing, they spent time with me and went over very impressive ui.
Time shift feature missed then working remotely. Unable to analyze visits within less 15 minutes time range.
They are both really good tools that are wonderful for getting to the core of the issue.
The learning/setup curve is steep. It can be a bit of a barrier to adoption.
This is a great software that helps you monitor your web applications regularly. You get the notification as soon as they are down and this helps you manage your web application effectively.
API to warn about future maintenance and history of failures or maintenance.
The fact that there are no unnecessary features and that it is entirely focused on its primary purpose is a great advantage.
That was fixed once I raised it to their support desk. However, when switched off, the check still failed as the type of SSL error the site was throwing was still picked up.
Ability to integrate with a status page for free is a big advantage. Growing with a company is a good business model for people who are just starting out.
I sometime get confuse while selecting a date range for report.
Huge number of checks, very short intervals, a comprehensive integration, super fast support, very reliable and quick with notifications.
Loading the page is not super fast. Alerts logic is sometimes weird (eg, keeps sending me email alerts when DNS is down... but no DNS means no email for the same domain).
Praveen K.: Hey, my name is Praveen, and I work as a systems engineer. I rate Dynatrace five out of five. For more information, click below. Before we used Dynatrace, we used to use Wily, which is like a monitoring tool, but this was not that good. Using Dynatrace, we are able to identify where the application breaks. Using Dynatrace, we have a lot of good things, not only for monitoring, but also for troubleshooting where the application got broken. Using Dynatrace, it's very easy to install the agents on the servers and it's a single pane of glass, where we can see all the issues on a single application. You see, like an enterprise environment where you're dealing with thousands of endpoints, it's a very good tool to monitor and also for troubleshooting the application. When there is some issues, Dynatrace helps us a lot.
Andrew: Hello, I'm Andrew, owner. Today, I'm rating Freshping. I give it a rating of five. For more reviews like this, click below. For me, I really didn't have a software to tell me when websites were having errors. To be honest, Freshping opened up my eyes to new softwares where it would actually make it easier for the website to send me an email versus my clients calling me going, "Hey, my website's down. Why is it down?" It usually would give me the chance to find out the website's down, fix it, and then send the customer a short email saying, "Hey, your website went down. This is what was wrong, and we're already back up and running." Basically chose Freshping because it's the only one I really found on the market that was an easy tool to use. It made my life easier when I can set up a, "Hey, this is the error 404 message for this website. Why is it offline?" And it would send it to me instead of the client getting upset going, "Hey, my website's down. I'm losing business. Why is my website down?" It was definitely simple to set up Freshping. You follow the step-by-step guide. For their initial system set-up, you can literally set up 50 websites at first, and anything above 50 websites is when they actually start billing you for it. For me, as a small-time website developer, getting set up with something easy was the best thing for me. To be honest, Freshping was the best thing that happened to me and my company, so I would recommend it to anybody and everybody, even if you're just starting out as a web developer and you only have five websites. That five could turn into 15, could turn into 20. If you've got that alert system that's going to tell you when a website goes down, it just makes you look more professional.
