Dynatrace OneAgent is a great product, that serves all your Monitoring, Alerting and Production Support needs.
Dynatrace OneAgent is being used in multiple projects at DaVita. Our primary usage is for production support, checking docker container/services health, and heap size monitoring.
- Session Replay
- Infrastructure Monitoring
- Traversing through UI can be improved.
February 06, 2020
Dynatrace is a good and solid tool, but not as auto-magic as vendor makes it appear.
Dynatrace is used to monitor some of our critical applications and the OneAgent is installed on all the servers hosting processes/services related to those applications. We look at infrastructure, process, services and applications. We combined synthetic transactions and real user monitoring to know how the application is doing. We build dashboards that are then used by our Control Center.
- Easy synthetic transaction recording.
- Easy deployment of the agent.
- Support of legacy technologies.
- Support for API development.

DT APM - Single pane of glass for all APM needs
We use it as an APM tool for monitoring our production and other environments. It monitors infrastructure services (full stack) end 2 end monitoring in a multi-tenant environment. It is used by multiple teams: Ops, Engg, performance teams, etc, to monitor different environments by the organization. We primarily use it to track the infrastructure level issues as well as performance issues.
- Initial setup is easy.
- Dashboards and reporting functionality is good.
- Sometimes the information is presented on different screens and we get lost navigating from screen to screen.
- If we can simplify the user experience and present more info relevant to the user.

Dynatrace Rocks!!!
We are using Dynatrace primarily to monitor the production operations systems across multiple Clouds. The primary user of this tool within our organization is the Cloud Operations team. We monitor for service level performance, API level performance index and are planning extend this usage to develop an overall health index for our product in the production systems.
- Collecting the data from multiple sources and display in a single pane of glass.
- Excellent monitoring and alerting capability.
- Product on-boarding took longer than we initially anticipated.
- It would be nice if we have some pre-canned reports to start with after initial on-boarding.
February 06, 2020
Dynatrace for the win!
Dynatrace is being used to monitor the majority of production applications. This includes payments, b2b, database calls. It is used by operations and developers. It addressed getting APM into our org for automation and containerization.
- Dynatrace was quick and easy to implement so we could see an immediate impact.
- Root cause analysis and problem identification help lower MTTR.
- The UI is easy to use, which makes for quick adoption.
- The ability to alert on low volume right out of the box for transactions and services would be nice.
- The fact that you can’t resize the number of open problems tile is frustrating.
- The beehive dashboard page is worthless.
February 06, 2020
Dynatrace is a great APM! Easy to use, easy to deploy and has great features for automation and integration.
Dynatrace is available throughout the organization, but is deployed based on infrastructure of the departments and applications which would like to on-board. We use it for Application Performance Monitoring and User session tracking in addition to standard infrastructure monitoring and alerting.
- Application Performance Monitoring
- Real User Session Monitoring
- Some automation friendly features currently missing
- More granular user permissions

Good overall product
Dynatrace is used to monitor all of our critical systems including databases, VMware, Linux servers, rancher clusters, and cloud infrastructure. It is primarily used by operations and dev teams to troubleshoot and monitor our apps and systems. We need 100% uptime and Dynatrace helps us get there.
- Service flow does a good job of showing the app-to-app dependencies and downstream issues.
- Alerting and integration makes it easy to know when a critical problem arises.
- Host license management is non-existent. Needs way better visibility and reporting.
- Not much native support for web-methods.
Dynatrace is being used primarily by our business and product engineering operations teams. Its an initiative owned by the operations team, which we also share out to the dev teams to also use. Its primary goal in our setup is to provide monitoring insight to certain application stacks and to perform synthetic monitoring. We look for the tool to provide insight into dependencies, during incident troubleshooting, and to perform just overall health checks.
- Dynatrace is pretty solid with root cause identification. Even if it's not hooked into the entire platform, it can analyze the flows of data in and out of the app and server to form a picture of where there might be unusual slowdowns or other errors. This can help speed up the time needed to troubleshoot incidents.
- The dependencies breakdown is useful to seeing a high level flow of how data can travel between multiple dependent applications and how performance of that data can potentially degrade.
- The UI can feel a little crowded and hard to pick up on the fly. I think it has to do with the wealth of features that are available, but it still makes it difficult for non-technical and even some technical teammates to pick up and run with.
- The organization of access for various aspects of data is robust, but also seems a little too open in a way. It requires dedication and oversight to make sure new applications are being added in a similar way so that the access to see the data is consistent with the other applications.

Dynamic monitoring thanks to Dynatrace and Davis
Dynatrace is being used by our whole organization. Furthermore, we try to implement it at other customers, mostly starting at departments and then try to expand throughout the whole organization. We address performance issues, code-level issues, resource management issues, and cloud migration issues. Dynatrace helps us in creating in-depth full-stack overviews where the AI Davis leverages the most important information and helps in resolving complex issues.
- Full-stack visibility.
- Automation.
- Complex tool to use.
- Limited data visibility from within the tool.

Dynatrace Review
It is used to monitor the infrastructure and copy pure path information to investigate client issues. We resolve issues in code, methods, and other parts of the request workflow. This helps to identify and pinpoint the problem ASAP.
- Pure path monitoring.
- Business flow and transaction monitoring.

Great product that helps predict or highlight issues
Dynatrace is used by our organization to monitor the health of our server, services, and applications. This allows us to see real-time application access, and granular details when uses of our application hit specific classes in the code.
- Monitoring of websites and applications.
- Granularity in patterns and code anomalies.
- Templates for settings and environment set-up.

AI ops for APM
This is the only tool that supports a multi-hybrid cloud environment and it meets our needs for complex and distributed apps that are supported by different teams. It's capability to discover apps and reduce the number of bugs was key in our decision making. We have also been able to increase the frequency of deployments.
- Multi-hybrid cloud solution!
February 06, 2020
Robust platform
It's being used by IT to troubleshoot incidents that may impact our customers in a variety of ways. We have different types of systems, some distributed across thousands of stores and some running in centralized data centers. The scale is unmanageable without this type of platform.
- Automated topology discovery is useful as no one ever seems to know the bigger picture.
- The Davis AI anomaly detection removes the guesswork.
- Some services can get pulled into problems and correlated even when unrelated.
- Some services that aren't deployed frequently require numerous restarts to keep up with the frequent release schedule.

Enterprise monitoring with ease!
We use Dynatrace across the company to monitor our critical business applications so that our customers are getting the best experience possible from us. Dynatrace allows us to deploy faster with less man power than competing products and helps identify issues automatically.
- OneAgent deployment is really easy.
- AI baselines and automatic problem identification.
- Licensing model complexities for large companies.
- Better APIs to bring more transparencies to the usage of the tool (dem usage, host unit usage, etc).
February 06, 2020
Awesome and excellent tool!
I started using recently Dynatrace at an enterprise level. The tool is very user-friendly. We are performing in infrastructure and business-critical applications. We recommend this product to other vendors who are willing to move to a better monitoring tool. We recently deployed APM in one business-critical application where we could found the performance issue at a code level. This product is amazing for those working in the IT sector.
- Has increased the performance of our system.
- One of the best monitoring tools in the current digital transformation platform.
- It needs more investment to integrate multiple other tools.
- Most users require training to understand the product.

Product wins with session replay features!
Our DevOps, engineering, QA and product teams all use Dynatrace in some capacity. Product primarily uses real-user monitoring and session replay features to detect issues and gain insight into how users are engaging with our product.
- Session replay capabilities.
- Ability to detect quickly how many users where impacted by an issue.
- Tagging features associated with session replay.
- Masking capabilities.

Easy to implement and provides a great return on investment!
Dynatrace is being used with the IT department of the organization. It has reduced the speed to resolution of environmental issues and provided more insight into how the environment is performing overall. It also easily integrates into other software, allowing for the ability to automate problem resolution for recurring issues.
- Dynatrace is easy to deploy. The previous APM that my organization used required manual configuration for each new deployment. Dynatrace saves the team substantial time by doing this for us.
- Dynatrace alerting integrates into a number of platforms, which has allowed us to spend less time with "eyes on glass" and more time implementing new tools.
- Dynatrace does not provide an easy way of tracking license usage and growth. Environment growth must be manually looked up, instead of providing any kind of alerts that the environment may be about to hit the license cap.

Dynatrace Review
We use it to monitor our web site. It's being used by a few departments in our organization. We can monitor our users and the experience they are having and also see impacts on them - both negative and positive.
- Implementation.
- Integration.
- Reporting.

Dynatrace is a fantastic product!
Dynatrace is being used across our organization as a whole. In my team, Dynatrace has allowed us to streamline the support processes. The new version is even more powerful than APPMON. It integrates with our ticketing system and when an event occurs an incident is created for the appropriate support group and we receive an alert at the same time. We also use it to troubleshoot all issues encountered with the systems. We can also view and correct issues before the users are impacted.
- The real user monitoring (RUM) is especially great and allows the use of session replays which allow us to see exactly what the users experienced on their screen.
- The dashboarding capabilities are fantastic and allow the tracking of key functionalities as well as sending automatic reports to users and groups of users.
- I don't see anything to be improved off-hand as I have just recently been introduced to the new version. The people from Dynatrace have even more improvements road mapped for the near future.
