You want automatic root cause
You expect the platform to learn a baseline and point at the cause. Diting alerts on rules you define, and topology is confirmed by you.
Diting vs Dynatrace
OneAgent auto-injection is genuinely convenient. What is hard to replace is a cut cable, an old kernel, and what happens after you see a problem.
If connectivity is not a problem, OneAgent automates more than Diting does.
Where Dynatrace fits better
You want managed and global
You would rather the vendor own availability and scaling than run a cluster yourself.
You need mobile and synthetic checks
Android and iOS RUM and synthetic monitoring are out of scope today. Diting covers web session replay.
Line by line
| Question | Diting | Dynatrace | Who's ahead |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capture and intrusion | |||
| Application changes | None. Capture happens on the host | OneAgent injects, mostly without code changes | Even |
| Components to install | One host agent | OneAgent and ActiveGate | Even |
| Restart to onboard | No restart | Processes restart after injection | Diting |
| Old kernels and domestic distros | 3.10 and up, 12 validated distributions | Per the official support matrix | Diting |
| Where protocols are parsed | In the agent, 18 L7 protocol families | Code-level injection, coverage varies by language | Diting |
| Frontend replay injection | Agent injects at nginx or the container layer | JS agent | Even |
| Deployment and data ownership | |||
| Self-hosted | Single node, cluster and HA | SaaS or Managed on-premises | Even |
| Runs fully disconnected | Install, upgrade, license and AI models ship in the bundle | Private deployment still needs a link to the vendor | Diting |
| Outbound network | None | Managed calls back, SaaS reports out | Diting |
| Where data lives | Your own ClickHouse | Vendor cloud, or your datacenter with Managed | Even |
| Offline upgrade and rollback | Offline bundle, rollback supported | Upgrade packages through the vendor process | Diting |
| Offline licensing | Signed file, renewed offline | Subscription, vendor-side check | Diting |
| Observability | |||
| Logs, metrics, traces, topology | One capture, one timeline | Complete | Even |
| Database observability | 6 databases parsed on the wire, no driver | Database observability via OneAgent extensions | Even |
| Kubernetes | 1.26–1.33, 20+ resource pages | Complete | Even |
| Kernel observability | 26 capabilities, 3.10–5.17 | Mainly host and process metrics | Even |
| Locate and review | |||
| Alerting and impact paths | Topology, impact paths, alerts | Davis baselines, root cause, impact paths | Dynatrace |
| Session replay joins the trail | SQL, trace, log and recording jump into each other | Replay available, linked with setup | Diting |
| Profiles and kernel hotspots | Profiles and kernel hotspots side by side | Continuous profiler | Even |
| Actions and automation | |||
| Batch runs and terminals | Batch execution, file distribution, remote terminal | Not in the platform; bring another tool | Diting |
| Chaos experiments | 36 actions on the same timeline as signals | Not in the platform; bring another tool | Diting |
| CI/CD and app platform | Pipelines, releases, rollback, app platform | CI/CD observability, no release platform | Diting |
| Security and access | |||
| Permission granularity | RBAC down to buttons, enforced server side | RBAC | Even |
| Audit and masking | Every action audited; replay input masked | Audit available, masking needs setup | Even |
Common questions
- OneAgent already injects for us. Is switching worth it?
- If connectivity and hosting are not problems, OneAgent automates more. Diting is ahead on offline delivery, old kernels and actions. Start from those three.
- What happens to our history?
- Keep the old platform read-only during the parallel period. Export what must be kept and write it across as needed. Diting does not promise a lossless move.
- Do dashboards and alerts need rebuilding?
- Yes. Do not underestimate that work. Move one board on non-critical services first, then widen.
- Does private deployment still call the vendor?
- Diting does not. Install, upgrade, license and AI models are all in the offline bundle.
- How far back do old kernels go?
- There is a compatibility path from 3.10, with each capability reported. What is limited is written down, not marked as supported.
