Dynatrace is better than the other APM tools I had been using
We are using Dynatrace to help monitor the application health and investigate when there is an issue. Dynatrace had been applied to multiple Applications across the bank. It helps us to fix issues faster when there is one. It reduces the MMTR and allows our customers to have a better experience with the service we provide.
- Monitoring the infrastructure health
- Alerting on abnormal behavior of Applications
- The save/discard on the bottom of screens is very easy to miss when I configure something.

Dynatrace, best Monitoring tool for anomaly detection and the automatic baselining of applications.
We are using Dynatrace to help our customers resolve their monitoring problems along all different technology platforms.
- Anomaly detection
- Automatic baselining
- Alerting integration.
- Dependency mapping.
- Dashboarding flexibility
- Covering legacy platforms
- IBM Cloud integration
It's used company-wide. Dynatrace is being used for monitoring of applications. We use Dynatrace to identify the root causes of the problems for different applications. It is also used to make the developers' lives easier by identifying any performance problems in the application. We use the Davis AI engine to get alerted when there is a problem. We like the dashboarding section of Dynatrace as well.
- Service flow
- Root cause analysis
- Usability
- Role-based authentication
We currently use it to monitor end to end usage from network to application support. It detects errors early on before hitting production. It is also used for monitoring resources being used like disk space and CPU usage. It is heavily used in our DevOps team so we can detect errors early on in the deployment.
- Monitoring
- Details of errors
- Would like logging to be available for more than 24 hrs
Dynatrace was at first used with some application teams of the bank. We currently use it to enhance the support of all applications across the bank (whole organization). It helps to find out the pain points from application development or production issues. They also get performance metrics for the applications.
- Technology details on each host.
- Detailed host analysis.
- Reports.
- Instrumentation downtime.
Dynatrace is being used by our organization as a central monitoring and alerting tool for our on and off-prem platforms and servers. Dynatrace provides us a single pane of glass for all of our application performance monitoring and troubleshooting for Vmware, Azure, etc.
- Synthetic testing
- Ease of updates & installations
- Forward-thinking approach to implementation
- It is rather expensive
- Can be cumbersome to fine-tune default monitoring and alerting thresholds.
This is a very good tool for APM. It gives very good internals of the applications and the user experience. We have implemented it in our Test and Pod environment for our business-critical application with the UEM. We also have the various dashboards for the app support team, Infra team and the business folks. Along with the dashboard displayed on the large-screen TV in the offshore monitoring team.
- Best tool for APM.
- Best user interface.
- Very frequent releases.
- License cost is high in some forms of the JVM configuration which becomes very expensive.

Dynatrace is the new (old) kid in town!
We are currently using Dynatrace across our organization. We've consolidated previous Dynatrace applications like Gomez, DCRUM, and AppMon. Dynatrace has addressed many issues and a single app is much better for our organization The installation is by far our favorite part. The ease of installation compared to AppMon is tenfold. We can easily deploy and with the OneAgent grabbing all the process automatically - gives our teams time to focus on other tasks.
In addition, the AI finds root cause - again allowing our team to focus on other issues!

Know whether to go for Dynatrace after reading this.
Dynatrace is used for product monitoring on prod and pre-prod environments, including core application, a number of services around it, and databases. It helps to effectively debug through the app, and it increases visibility in the complex environment of production, which has been live for 17 years and is a mix of various technologies and approaches.
- Dependency identification
- User impact analysis
- Unreliable--sometimes API changes without a notice or mention in release notes
- Pricing--obscured, unclear, and fluffy, a lot of time wasted on every purchase

Easy to use, difficult to master
We use Dynatrace as our primary application monitoring tool across the entire IT department, and we use Dynatrace as a way to provide some value to business users when they have dependencies on IT products put forth by our department. Production support users (like myself) use Dynatrace for monitoring, alerting, troubleshooting, and anomaly detection. Our tier 1 support uses Dynatrace's dashboard tools for around-the-clock monitoring. Our software development teams use Dynatrace to gain better insight and visibility into how their code performs in our various environments.
- Installation and implementation
- Anomaly detection and alerting
- Dashboard tools
- Navigation and ease of use
We have been with Dynatrace for 7 years, having implemented by the Application Development team when we had issues with performance degradation on our digital platform. Over the years, we transitioned from AppMon to Dynatrace, Gomez to Dynatrace Synthetic, and on-boarded not only Tier 1 but also Tier 2 Applications and started to utilize Infrastructure monitoring.
- Simple instrumentation
- All-in-one tool
- Database monitoring
- Better pricing for log data ingestion

Beginner--just barely getting feet wet
We have been using Dynatrace for less that six months and at this time it is being used by our Infrastructure organization. We currently have it configured on less than 100 servers and at this time we are using it as a monitoring tool to help us with error analysis and troubleshooting issues. We are looking to delve deeper and set up better performance monitoring so that our various teams can better manage our systems.
- Easy to install and get started, and easy to go back in and modify
- Excellent support, training, and resources
- Coming from a beginner, so this may not be area for improvement, but it would be nice to be able to search and filter error results better, specifically with SQL errors.
- Storage of logs and being able to get back to them when you need to

Great tool for patient people.
I try to make Dynatrace famous across the whole organization. For now, only a few teams of developers use it. We use Dynatrace mostly to measure end-user performance.
- Waterfall analysis for performance insights
- PurePath
- Live Chat support
- Custom metric ingesiton
Dynatrace is being used across our organization. Within my department, Dynatrace is being used to monitor our service layer that provides content to our mobile layer. Dynatrace is also being used within our mobile application.
- Uncovers exceptions occurring within our app
- An overall visibility with the use of dashboards
- The system is so large it sometimes requires learning on my part, to find what I'm looking for.

Dynatrace makes monitoring a breeze.
Currently Dynatrace is helping us with transparent, easy, and deep observability of our managed infrastructure and micro-service based apps. We quickly installed and started having deep monitoring and observability, and with Davis, we have instant insights into problems we could only have had with hours of engineering root cause analysis in the past.
- Auto discovery and complete observability without any tweaks or configuration
- Root cause analysis and alter correlation into a changing micro-service environment
- Greater transparency on licensing costs, cost optimization, and cost projection of activating Dynatrace features

Dynatrace: A good product that keeps getting better
We use Dynatrace to monitor performance of our applications and our infrastructure. It has the ability to stitch together the path of a transaction through the stack of technology. It also can tell you an end-user's experience. Dynatrace has an AI engine that helps reduce the need to dig through tons of data. It will highlight were your issues are for you. It is being used across the enterprise to help us improve customer experience.
- Stitch transactions across multiple technologies
- Give an accurate picture of the end-user experience
- Reporting: Current dashboards are limited
- User experience data is purged after a while, which means you need to extract data to another source.
We are currently using Dynatrace in a few departments, but we are looking to expand it to the entire production environment. Dynatrace addresses app and infrastructure monitoring, as well as log analysis. The ease of the interface and amount of info is great. Overall, Dynatrace has helped us to locate issues we didn't know were in the environment.
- Application monitoring
- Infrastructure monitoring
- Hyper-V integration
- Citrix products integration
We are using Dynatrace to monitor our environment of 1000+ hosts, both on cloud and on-premises, we are using DEM, synthetic to monitor various apps and perform auto healing as needed. Dynatrace works great on base-lining and alerting--seamless integration with different alert platforms.
- Excellent topology display by Smartscape
- Synthetic, DEM, and Davis are excellent tools
- Heap dumps are hard to gather.
- Event correlation is off sometimes.
