If you'd like a UI to monitor your servers and get the metrics in the form of graphs and all that fancy stuff you can go for it.
Along with that if you want alerting setup based on a threshold its a great tool for that.
But there is limited functionality and monitoring with each versions(i think there are 3) which you need to chose according to your project needs.

Dynatrace can be used for various monitoring purposes. It can also be used for various effects of tracing the memory leakages, garbage collection, heap memory utilization, and the CPU usage of the application for which the Dynatrace is enabled. It can be used for end-to-end application troubleshooting for debugging the issues.

Dynatrace is one of the best options to choose from for automated monitoring. It provides excellent numbers of prebuilt options to start with and on top of that detailed insights about the health check activities for the applications and services. It is one of the best monitoring tools which can be used if you have a large number of applications and wide infrastructure for your deployments.

Dynatrace is well suited for large enterprises where extensive monitoring has to be performed on a day to to day basis for mission-critical applications. It is one of the best standalone tools available for synthetic monitoring which can be easily integrated with the apps and has multiple customization options for the end-users.

We had resolved issues on some major incidents from some application teams. While the developers and support group could not find the root cause, we were involved to drill down to the problem details to the code level. One example we found was that the root cause of the issue is from vendor packages.

Dynatrace is great for applications monitoring but I am not yet inclined to choose it for infrastructure monitoring. Other solutions for infrastructure monitoring are currently being looked into by our team such as Microfocus.

Dynatrace is easy to use and deploy and the user interface is awesome. The dashboards are super easy to add and configure and share. Forum is awesome and the the product incorporates the features requested by the users.

Currently not equipped to properly answer this question as we are still in the beginning stages of implementation. At this time we are just barely tapping in and learning how to get the information we need. We are currently using it for database monitoring and application monitoring.

Dynatrace performs best on modern infrastructure, strongly depending on a cloud, virtualization, and microservices. In such a setup, Dynatrace is capable of using most of its features in an effective way. For a mixed setup, for instance, the platform that is transforming from monolith to services, Dynatrace appears to be a great tool as well.
It is hard for me to tell what scenario is an absolute no-no for using Dynatrace.

Dynatrace is great for monitoring tool consolidation. It supports a very wide variety of languages and technologies. Dynatrace is great for granting company-wide visibility into IT applications and supporting software. And it is great at detecting problems, alerting the necessary parties, and providing visibility into the root cause.
Dynatrace is severely lacking in proper dashboard tools and ease of use, though. It has a steep learning curve; the interface can make it difficult to find exactly what you're looking for at times; often, once you do find what you're looking for, you can't easily put it on a dashboard to make it easier to find and access next time around. Dynatrace is also fairly expensive.

My Dynatrace Experience

Score 8 out of 10

The good: Dynatrace is great for application performance monitoring and synthetics testing, and has very good all-in-one multi-cloud support and observability.

The not so good: Dynatrace is not great for additional charges for metrics ingestion and the need for additional tools (e.g. log management and analytics). They nickel-and-dime customers.

Dynatrace has great potential for Real User Management (RUM) and Digital Experience Management (DEM) to help IT and the business side collaborate.

It overall covers everything from end to end, I haven't seen anything like it. Helps with early detection in case bad code is deployed. We can trace it back to the exact time frame it happened and it will show any broken connections or network slowdowns.

Dynatrace is great at discovering where an issue is without having to deeply dive into the logs. It is also very easy to create dashboards with the information needed. Due to data not being kept for long periods it can be difficult to compare items over long periods of time within our application.

Dynatrace is well suited for synthetic monitoring and using the interface to create credential stores so you don't have to manually put in information about credentials. it is also good for watching user sessions after the fact to see what is actually happening in their session. It can also help in the root cause analysis process.
