Dynatrace - The king of monitoring tools
Our team is using Dynatrace as a monitoring tool for the windows application services. It is monitoring the services 24/7 and sends an alert to the application owners if the service is stopped. This has helped us to reduce the downtime for the important and critical services for our applications.
- Best application performance monitoring solution
- Problem detection and diagnosis
- Centralized dashboard for detailed insights
- No human intervention
- Generation of detailed monthly reports for application performance and SLAs
- Cost is bit higher
- Documentation needs to be improved
- Graphs on the centralized dashboard can be more descriptive
- More flexibility for users to modify the design of centralized dashboard and options to choose from the components to display and hide.

Dynatrace - Extensive Monitoring Solution
Dynatrace has helped our application support team to automate the manual monitoring activities of the infrastructure and 200+ application virtual servers(Linux and Windows). We are able to run custom code workflows to perform monitoring on client-defined parameters and SLAs.
Primarily we are using Dynatrace for synthetic monitoring to analyze the server and application performance. This has helped us to get an in-depth analysis of how the applications are performing.

Dynatrace is great!
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 - Delivers great application monitoring
Dynatrace is used across many business units. We deploy it to monitor all key applications for performance issues. Dynatrace is also used to help developers and support teams debug app issues. Good experience with this product overall.
- Great support
- Frequent updates
- Must keep agents up to date frequently
- Constantly ensure new releases and updates do not impact existing clients
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.

Good Solid RUM to rely on
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 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.

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

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!

- Installation.
- Root cause analysis.
- Dashboarding.
- Plugins can be difficult.

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

Dynatrace Review
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

- Waterfall analysis for performance insights
- PurePath
- Live Chat support
- Custom metric ingesiton

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

My Dynatrace Experience
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
February 11, 2020
Great product
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 finds issues you didn't know were even there!
It is currently being used to help discover the reason for any incident we may have. The technology department is the only one using this product. When we used to have incidents it would take us a long time to figure the root cause so we could fix the issue within our application.
- Pinpoints where our issues are.
- Alerts us to issues quickly.
- A better deployment plan for new users.
- Better reporting on the version of OneAgent.

- Synthetic monitors.
- Real user monitoring.
- Agent upgrades.
- Adoption.

Visibility!
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.
