(126-150 of 341)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
Dynatrace is being used at an enterprise level, as well as within select departments. We use it for APM, root cause, user experience, as well as democratization of data. Dynatrace's UEM and RUM help us understand our users. Finally, Dynatrace helps enable automation of things that you wouldn't normally be able to automate due to lack of information.
- User experience management - Dynatrace allows you to see what real people do.
- PurePath/stitching- without Dynatrace, one would have to code stitching via open tracing, which is a lot of work.
- User experience of the product - it's a very clicky web UI.
- Clarity around licencing (for AppMon).

We use it for our 3 main applications. We also use DEM for user experience and also synthetic test across different websites and APIs. We instrument those complex software and Dynatrace helps us to find the root cause. Thanks a lot to DAVIS. She is great! The teams are not in the tool that much yet but we are getting there. We assist them when they find major issues. The tool is so great that within a few clicks we are able to save a lot of time pointing to the right cause. We also provide the tool to the dev team for them to analyse the code they deploy. Sometimes the code is badly coded and with Dynatrace we are able to find either glitches or performance issues after a deployment. We save tons of times with Dynatrace and we also see the full stack which is so great. The manager and the business are also really interested in this because in the past they had no visibility at all on their software. We are all a software company now so this is really important to be able to detect issues and performance issues rapidly.
- End to end monitoring.
- Find root cause of issues.
- More user-friendly interface.
- Cheaper license would be good.

Dynatrace is the best decision your enterprise will ever make
Dynatrace is being used by most of the organization. We are currently transitioning away from BMC TrueSight for cloud infrastructure and we are transitioning away from AppMon to Dynatrace. Our department installs and administers the solution but it is the user's responsibility to make sure that they are utilizing the tools effectively.
- Rapid/mass deployment
- Mean time to resolution/problem identification
- UI has inconsistencies and often has areas where it is not intuitive
- Alerting/management zones are somewhat restrictive in functionality compared to AppMon

- Price
- Log metrics
Dynatrace OneAgent is used across the whole enterprise. We are still in the early rollout and implementation phases of the OneAgent solution but are hoping to prove that it can provide meaningful and effective root cause analysis for all development and production infrastructures. We'd also like to be able to address and analyze user impact in order to effectively triage and determine how our app and operations teams can improve.
- Custom dashboarding allows for all IT teams to create and illuminate important metrics that matter!
- PurePaths, I love how you can dive deep into stack traces and review exceptions that relate to problem tickets.
- Increasing integrations.
- Adding the ability to compare the metrics and data of code builds.

We use Dynatrace primarily within the IT organization to track our platform's performance and get quick alerting to issues as they arise. We leverage dashboarding to keep ourselves and customers outside of IT informed of how our systems are performing. We also leverage it for trends and early warning indicators. Prior to selecting Dynatrace, we evaluated App Dynamics, New Relic, and Broadcomm (formerly CA). Dynatrace was the hands down winner.
- Application monitoring (performance and error diagnostics).
- Service monitoring.
- Their future feature road-map could use some acceleration or prioritization.
- Until recently, application services did not have alerting. This was resolved in Q4 2019.
