Software Engineer Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for log search and systems monitoring" April 22, 2026 5.0 Good tool, very robust that does the job of many tools, but many things are not too complete. Depending on how you set it up, it can be helpful with the trace IDs and find were an issue could be laying, but no info is stored so you see the path but not the data issue. Pros It it fast. It helps to keep logs, query them and monitor logs or services such as with HTTP monitors or alerts based on metrics. It support intelligent monitoring based on the baseline of the application. You can create dashboards such as Graphana to monitor different systems. Cons It has a high learning curve. If you are coming from matlock or other monitoring tools it will be difficult to understand and find locations. After some months of usage I have some trouble finding things. The AI assistant is useless, better use ChatGPT or Copilot for help. No monitoring of data, just logs or application endpoints. No connectivity for databases. Switched from [Grafana](https://www.capterra.com/p/196036/Grafana-Enterprise/) Better integration in one tool instead of checking different places Review Source EA Elizabeth A. Systems Administrator Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great IT Monitoring and Server Tracking tool" July 5, 2026 5.0 Dynatrace is a trustworthy solution which ensures smooth operation of our university website and student portals. It allows our IT department to detect and solve technical issues promptly. Pros This tool automatically identifies all the servers within our campus and all the applications. The moment an outage occurs itimmediately detects whether the problem lies within the database or the network. This assists us to solve any logging problem before it reaches our helpdesk. Cons The pricing strategy is complicated and unpredictable especially on a tight budget. Setting up simple dashboards for non technical managers requires too much time which is not ideal. Alternatives considered [Datadog](https://www.capterra.com/p/135453/Datadog-Cloud-Monitoring/)[Splunk Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/94317/Splunk/)[New Relic](https://www.capterra.com/p/118128/New-Relic/) Reason for choosing Dynatrace Because its automated AI instantly determines the precise reason for a server crash. Switched from [Datadog](https://www.capterra.com/p/135453/Datadog-Cloud-Monitoring/) We switched because Dynatrace was able to handle sudden traffic spikes better and it saved our IT team a lot of troubleshhoting time.
