Decision Kit
Summary
Dynatrace has a product suite consisting of their core APM solution, in addition to a Cloud Infrastructure offering, AIOps, and Digital Experience Management. The company’s services include performance management software for programs running on-premises and in the cloud. This software manages the availability and performance of software applications and the impact on user experience in the form of deep transaction tracing, synthetic monitoring, real user monitoring, and network monitoring. Support is provided for container and microservices technologies and additional cloud technologies.
GitLab has a powerful monitoring capability with Prometheus, a time-series monitoring service, providing a flexible platform for monitoring GitLab and other software products. GitLab provides out of the box monitoring with Prometheus, providing easy access to high quality time-series monitoring of GitLab services. GitLab has built-in monitoring that can automatically monitor your deployed applications, with extensive support for native cloud, container, and microservices technology. Additionally, Gitlab uses Jaeger, an open source end-to-end distributed tracing system used for monitoring and troubleshooting microservices-based distributed systems.

Feature Comparison
| FEATURES |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
Cloud Native Monitoring
The monitoring of cloud native applications including microservices that are built to run in the cloud so that bottlenecks and issues can be addressed via insights into collected metrics. |
|
|
|
Server Monitoring
Reviewing and analyzing a server for availability, operations, performance, security and other operations-related processes. Monitor servers system resources like CPU Usage, Memory Consumption, I/O, Network, Disk Usage, Process, etc. GitLab uses the Node Exporter (via Prometheus) to expose an extensive set of machine-level metrics on Linux and other Unix systems such as CPU usage, memory, disk utilization, filesystem fullness, and network bandwidth. |
|
|
|
Tracing
Tracing provides insight into the performance and health of a deployed application, tracking each function or microservice which handles a given request. This makes it easy to understand the end-to-end flow of a request, regardless of whether you are using a monolithic or distributed system. |
