Dynatrace Reviews

Dynatrace is heavily used by development teams across the entire organisation to manage the software development environment. The biggest positive from using Dynatrace is that code debugging has become extremely efficient - faster as well as more accurate. Additionally, Dynatrace is used to monitor the performance of several of our application environments, especially in production.

Dynatrace is being used across the organization to monitor various endpoints and services for parameters such as high CPU usage, unavailability, and other intermittent issues before the business gets affected. No competitors come close to the performance monitoring capabilities of Dynatrace.

Dynatrace is used to monitor the traffic from consumers to our products and services. It also tells us how the requests are coming and the servers responding to them. It can also let you know if the servers are performing well or not. It gives you a sitemap kind of structure that lets you know the entire request path which helps in debugging. It is an excellent debugging tool.

We used Dynatrace to identify performance problems across our suite of ERP systems that included Sage X3, a custom work order management application, a custom application to extract BOMs from CAD drawings, and time and attendance software. The systems were connected with Web Services and many direct Database calls. Our SQL Server Enterprise software ran about 30 different databases. We had about 11 different sites accessing our servers in a COLO data center.

The user experience was terrible, but we didn't know if it was the network, WAN (DIA circuits on VPN), Servers (Virtualized), SAN performance, Database performance, or slow performance from the ERP servers managing web services. Using Dynatrace, we started seeing several problems. First, the database server was running at high CPU utilization and high Memory utilization. We moved non-ERP databases to a different server. Then we started seeing buffer overflow errors and that led us down the path of examining the I-O operations on the SAN. We concluded that the IO demand exceeded the capacity of our SAN (a 4-year-old Hybrid SAN). We determined that we needed to upgrade to an All-Flash array (Pure Storage), and replace two of the 4 hosts with faster-performing Servers. While the CPU cycles were not maxed, we needed faster IO to handle user demand.

[Dynatrace is] Currently used by two application teams. The Unix/Linux team has purchased the agents and is the process of deploying. We brought Dynatrace into the organization approximately two years ago in the middle of a significant production challenge within our web site. We had spent several days manually looking for the root cause, and then Dynatrace offered to install an agent and review the application (for free!!!). Dynatrace almost immediately detected the error and diagnosed the root cause. The product has continued to exceed our already high expectations.

Dynatrace has become our first go-to for everything Systems & Application related. We currently use Dynatrace to monitor our entire Azure production environment. Dynatrace gives us visibility into every aspect of our Infrastructure and user experience elements. We started out with just the Systems team, using it for monitoring and troubleshooting of varied issues. Our Development team uses it to troubleshoot code issues and bottlenecks. The detailed insight into our stack is quite helpful when troubleshooting. Our Operations team now uses Dynatrace Session Replay to assist our students when they are having trouble with the site.

DXC Technology is an extreme partner for Dynatrace. As an apps management product manager, we set the direction for our apps services. Our default toolset for application monitoring is Dynatrace, unless the customer has already procured a different tool. The objective is really to improve app availability and enhance the customer experience.

Dynatrace is being used by various teams within our organization to give us greater insight into our applications, allowing us to resolve issues faster as well as release quality code faster.

Dynatrace is being used across the whole organization. It is used to diagnose and resolve application performance issues which increases productivity and revenue.

While Dynatrace is being used across the organization, I use it in support of a select department. We are using Dynatrace to assist in MTTR/MTTD and to alert ops teams of problems detected in the environment or with the application flows.

We are using Dynatrace to discover problems in our applications before users notice an impact. The working relationship we have built with Dynatrace over the past 5 years has been outstanding.

Transurban is using Dynatrace across the enterprise. In corporate applications, Dynatrace gives us a deeper insight into the performance of various applications. On our tolling platform Dynatrace is used for monitoring and APM and across the SDLC Dynatrace is used in performance testing on demand and early detection during development.

Dynatrace is used on our Ecom platform, and we use this tool daily to monitor performance analysis and also baseline the performance metrics for comparison before and after any change release.

We use AppMon in our cloud infrastructure very heavily for both non-prod and prod environments. Dynatrace has been super helpful in finding and fixing performance issues early on in our product development lifecycle. It helped tremendously in our production support and incident/problem management processes.

We use Dynatrace throughout our DevOps cycle from build & test, performance testing, UEM, Application troubleshooting & problem triage, and export to Splunk & Tableau for reporting.

Dynatrace is currently being used on by a small group of developers and Application Technical support team. It helps give visibility into vendor products that we install locally and helps us work with the vendors to better their software that we have purchased.

Dynatrace is used by several groups and applications at NatGen. I manage our claims application and we are a relatively new consumer of Dynatrace. However, I am seeing tremendous benefit from Dynatrace in providing me with valuable information at a glance, not to mention alerts and notifications of impending issues.

Dynatrace was originally used by one department but, as was always our intention, has begun rolling out across the entire organization. The teams that are using it most, so far, are our application development teams. These developers can now better understand how their creations are operating in the real world, be notified about and respond to issues sooner, and build better software.

Dynatrace was implemented at my company initially to meet a need for the Operations teams to have a more modern and inclusive monitoring tool for our environments. It has since broadened its use case and has been adopted by other departments in the company as well. Dynatrace solves the problem of operations team members having to watch dashboards throughout the day and then spend additional time tracking down the root of the issue, by sending notifications when problems do arise and determining the root cause.

We currently use Dynatrace within the web Technologies group for a major client, to primarily address performance issue detection and remediation.

Dynatrace is used organization-wide by over 100 applications. It is our main outage detection and management of performance for a wide range of applications. We use it in both development and production.

Dynatrace is being used in a performance testing environment to assess application performance as well as platform performance for PaaS.

We use Dynatrace for performance testing, real user monitoring, production monitoring, and aggregation of existing information into one platform. Currently, it is only used by one team in one line of business, but future expansion is possible.

Our team manages and develops core services hosted on zOs WAS, and every time there was a production issue, we had to dig through 5 different locations and guess what processes match each other. With the implementation of Dynatrace, we can see the end to end processes of our mainframe services in one centralized view and reduce the production problem resolution time from 2 hours to 15min.

We’re using Dynatrace across the enterprise to address many real-world problems, while also identifying a lot of new opportunities in the process. In a nutshell, Dynatrace is helping us bridge the gap between business and IT by bridging metrics that matter to the business (site traffic, conversions, bounce rates) and metrics that matter to IT (CPU, memory, instance counts) together into one tool that finally demonstrates the connections.

Dynatrace connects the dots and highlights that the user experience can be impacted by any number of factors and, more importantly, helps you manage those impacts to improve the user’s experience.
