Why Dynatrace falls short
As the exclusive provider of both Synthetic Monitoring and Internet Synthetic Monitoring, Catchpoint stands out as the only platform purpose-built for complete Internet Stack visibility.
APM limitations and challenges
APM emerged 30 years ago for monolithic, 3-tier applications on local, on-premises infrastructure without virtualization, where infrastructure metrics lacked elasticity. While APM has good insight into application logs, traces, and infrastructure metrics, it faces several limitations and challenges.
No end user perspective
APM has no ability to proactively test from the user’s location leads to UX blindspots, as performance can vary significantly depending on location, network provider, and device type.
Limited SaaS & PaaS visibility
APM provides limited or no data on SaaS and PaaS applications result in missed insights into potential infrastructure or integration bottlenecks, making you reactive to issues beyond your control.
No external visibility
APM only gives a limited view of the Internet Stack or third-party dependencies obscures the identification of external factors like Internet outages, overloaded CDNs, or API slowdowns, leading to finger-pointing and delayed troubleshooting.
No global performance visibility
APM has no visibility into global or regional performance hinders understanding of how users in different locations experience your application, potentially causing dissatisfaction among customers in specific regions.
High alert thresholds
APM alerts only trigger when a threshold percentage of errors is reached. This approach might cause you to miss subtle but consistent performance issues, leading to gradual user frustration before the threshold is met.
No
real-world resilience
APM can’t measure real-world resilience. This might leave you unprepared for unexpected traffic surges or infrastructure failures, leading to downtime and revenue loss.
