Josh’s Dynatrace review
Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
[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.
- Easy to use. The product is easy to install, configure and use.
- Self discovery. The product will quickly map an environment, and determine appropriate baselines.
- Completeness. Dynatrace provides an incredibly complete view of a user experience.
- Expanding to other areas of infrastructure, including telecom and SAN.
- Tighter integration between on-prem and SaaS within our environment.

Provide Exadata support!
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.
- Problem detections can be simplified with DTOne.
- Replaying of problem detection and resolution flows is helpful.
- Having visibility into the historic performance of hosts and ability to compare time periods against each other is useful for trending.
- We need support for Exadata appliances to have visibility into Oracle backend databases.
- Implementation of RUM broke some of our applications. Implementing monitoring tools should not break applications.
- Visibility of users who “own” resources in the DT console i.e., maintenance windows. It would be good to know what user created a maintenance window.

Operational Effeciency Journey using Dynatrace
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
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.
- Deep code level visibility so we can easily identify the code problem and see if there's any performance bottleneck upfront before the code goes to production and causes any user impact.
- Infrastructure and process monitoring visibility, and it also provides all the integration touchpoints and performance and availability KPI.
- From AppMon to Dynatrace we are missing PurePath and offline PurePath analysis. If we could get it all in one Dynatrace agent that would be a great addition.
January 31, 2019
THE tool for all our performance needs
Dynatrace is used by our Performance testing team for analysis after executing load tests. It has been integrated into our load testing pipeline in Jenkins. AppMon has been integrated to out load testing jobs in Jenkins. This enables other team members to self-serve and view AppMon reports immediately after executing load tests without logging in to the tool. We use all advanced features offered by the tool to monitor our front end and back end application to identify bottlenecks and optimize the performance for delivering a high performing system to our customers.
- Analyze the number of database calls from each tier /service and optimize it by implementing caches.
- Analyze the garbage collection on JVM and choose the most efficient go setting for your application.
- Monitor vendor response time and its impact on your services.
- Installing updates on AppMon.
- Root cause analysis in case of memory leaks.
- Some kind of analysis for thread dumps.

Great visibility
Dynatrace is used extensively by our customers to enable visibility within their applications. It's typically used by departments until the organizational maturity increases to the point where it can be adopted company-wide.
- Provides deep instrumentation of applications.
- Enhances visibility of application performance.
- Rapidly identifies root causes of problems.
- Enhanced integration with external logging platforms would be great.

Dynatrace is a good fit for application monitoring
We use Dynatrace to track down performance bottlenecks, exceptions, and other issues that creep up. It has been an invaluable tool for my team, Application Support. I don’t think that we would be able to perform our jobs without it.
- Helps identify problem areas
- Helps identify when there is a change in application behavoir
- Alerts us when problems arise
- More understandable pricing model
- Opening up a bit about what is actually happening under the covers
- More flexibility with uni appearance

Dynatrace - THE APM tool
It is mostly being used by all departments. We're still in the process of moving from the AppMon platform to the new Dynatrace platform. Dynatrace is our only APM tool, and it is really being used to know more about the user experience.
- Very easy to deploy
- Great user experience features
- The Dynatrace openness demonstrate that the tool has not been built to be all alone in its world!
- Missing functionalities with the new platform versus the AppMon platform.
- Sometimes too expensive.
- Not super easy to use for somebody that doesn’t use the tool on a regular basis.

Dynatrace is great if you are trying to move faster in product development and even better if you are moving towards no ops
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.
- The detailed view into pure paths.
- The event correlation with both app level and infra level metrics.
- Integration with third-party solutions for better incident management processes.
- We currently use AppMon, which is the older version of Dynatrace, and I think the Saas version is much better for what we are trying to do.
- Anomaly detection
- Capacity forecast

Dynatrace platform - all in one monitoring solution!
We use Dynatrace throughout our DevOps cycle from build & test, performance testing, UEM, Application troubleshooting & problem triage, and export to Splunk & Tableau for reporting.
- Performance and full stack analytics
- Problem triage and deep dive analysis
- Alert & quickly identify problems and root cause
- The licensing model is giving my management heart burn. As a long time AppMon customer, we shouldn’t have to re-buy our investment in order to move to the new Dynatrace platform.
- Tech support continues to be condescending and unhelpful. They don’t read the tickets and then re-ask for information we already provided.
January 31, 2019
Dynatrace, top of the line...but costs too.
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.
- Details, Dynatrace gives you all the details of an application from start to finish. Helps identify server connections, response times over network connections, and so much more. Easy to use and find errors so we can spend more time fixing problems than trying to figure out where the problem is.
- Ease of use. The out of the box dashboards are easy to use and very intuitive.
- Support -- the user community and Dynatrace University help in figuring out where information is, or what information from Dynatrace is telling me, easier.
- Pricing -- some of the pricing is a bit much for smaller companies. Pricing models could be adjusted accordingly.
- Synthetic monitoring is nice, but with the code, smaller companies can’t utilize this function.
