Dynatrace is fun
Dynatrace is being implemented across the organization. For my business area, Dynatrace helps us to effectively monitor a truckload of hosts with minimal manual oversight. Also, Dynatrace plays a key role in impact analysis for both business areas (internal users) and external users. The analysis graphs are very useful to help leadership visualize a problem.
- Problem impact analysis
- Root cause analysis
- Need a framework for tagging
- More examples and/or comparisons (e.g., when JVM GC takes too long, what does that look like in Dynatrace?)

Dynatrace is being used for the application and performance monitoring tools it provides us as way to view our infrastructure telemetry that it gets from our Azure instance. It is currently being used across the whole organization, and the business problems it addresses is the user experience as a whole and how it relates to the infrastructure.
- Application monitoring as far as response time and degradation
- Performance monitoring of our entire infrastructure and how that has an effect on our users
- The synthetic monitoring
- Dashboard features

Great product
Dynatrace is currently being used at my company to do performance testing and make sure our application is functioning properly. We plan to expand our usage to include infrastructure and integrate it with other applications shortly. We are also looking for ways to tie Dynatrace to both our private and public cloud solutions in a more robust manner.
- RUM is amazing.
- It is great for performance testing.
- New One Agent crashed our system.
- Didn't work well with our legacy application.

Excellent company with excellent products!
Dynatrace is used as our Enterprise Monitoring System. It is used throughout the organization. Our heaviest users are from our Middleware Engineering group. We use Dynatrace for monitoring applications in the cloud, for monitoring internal- and external-facing systems. We use synthetic monitoring and user monitoring. We heavily monitor cloud applications. Many of our applications are moving to the cloud.
- Proactive monitoring of potential issues/problems
- Quickly alerting when there is a problem
- Eliminating false alerts
- Organization of synthetic screens--unable to do edits for mass # of monitors at one time

Dynatrace makes monitoring a breeze.
Currently Dynatrace is helping us with transparent, easy, and deep observability of our managed infrastructure and micro-service based apps. We quickly installed and started having deep monitoring and observability, and with Davis, we have instant insights into problems we could only have had with hours of engineering root cause analysis in the past.
- Auto discovery and complete observability without any tweaks or configuration
- Root cause analysis and alter correlation into a changing micro-service environment
- Greater transparency on licensing costs, cost optimization, and cost projection of activating Dynatrace features

Best APM Tool That's More Than an APM Tool
The IT department uses Dynatrace for incident detection and resolution, as well as testing at scale, debugging, and some business analysis.
- Root-cause analysis in 30 seconds instead of 0.5-2 hours
- Application developer self-service of fault detection
- Business analysis is in its early stages of implementation, and I'm excited to see how the feature grows and develops.

Dynatrace Delivers
We use Dynatrace for application and infrastructure monitoring. Additionally, we use it for business insights. Primarily, it is used by our infrastructure team with some users in application development. Dynatrace has been used to find issues with cpu, code, third-party applications, and a number of other issues. We are currently working on dashboards to share with other depts.
- Ease of deployment
- Complete infrastructure monitoring
- Reporting
- API use

Dynatrace Review
We use Dynatrace to dive deep into problem solving and root-cause analysis. After many of our incidents were resolved, we worked on automation and being proactive to solve problems before they happen. We use the dashboards for our customers to get that warm fuzzy that Davis is doing its job.
- Root-cause analysis
- Charting and Dashboards
- AIX
- Exadata

Great product--does much more than APM
Dynatrace is our main tool to ensure the quality of service of our application.
- Ease of deployment
- Lack of configuration
- Reporting capabilities
February 08, 2020
Dynatrace is an invaluable tool that my team would be lost without
We are using Dynatrace to monitor most of our in-house Java and .net applications for APM. We use real user monitoring and sessions replay as well for some of these applications. Davis's AI enables us to work on other important tasks rather than to chase problem after problem. Without Dynatrace we would spend hours resolving issues. After Dyantrace was running, our MTTR dropped to minutes.
- MTTR for problem resolution
- Automatic root cause analysis
- Pricing model for custom metrics.
- Pricing model for synthetic monitoring when running solely on-prem.

- Root cause analysis of problems that are identified with minimal effort.
- Automate console app monitoring (converting console apps to services).
February 07, 2020
Dynatrace is a solid offering, and its ease of use is unmatched.
We are on the road to implement Dynatrace as our primary cloud monitoring solution within GCP. We will eventually expand to other clouds and are confident that Dynatrace will allow us to seamlessly support each. Within the console itself we are able to see visually simple dashboards for easy access to crucial information.
- Dashboarding is very simplistic
- Metric uptake is substantial
- Release notes need to be more robust
- Expansion of GCP offerings

Dynatrace is used by our department to help get to the bottom of performance issues/bottlenecks within the application. The challenge was not having the exact root-cause analysis of where the problem was originating. With Dynatrace, we were able to go right in to the problematic layer and get the issue resolved.
- Quick and easy deployment
- Problem auto-detection
- Memory diagnostics or analysis
- Navigation at times is challenging

Dynatrace: Great tool, great company
Our IT organization is currently using Dynatrace to anticipate and correct issues with our applications. We have had some early success during our POC identifying a nagging issue with one of our apps that presented itself as a network issue. The root cause ended up being an expensive SQL that was bogging down the app.
- Customer service
- Ease of implementation
- Additional links to cloud services
- More flexible, aggressive pricing

Dynatrace: A good product that keeps getting better
We use Dynatrace to monitor performance of our applications and our infrastructure. It has the ability to stitch together the path of a transaction through the stack of technology. It also can tell you an end-user's experience. Dynatrace has an AI engine that helps reduce the need to dig through tons of data. It will highlight were your issues are for you. It is being used across the enterprise to help us improve customer experience.
- Stitch transactions across multiple technologies
- Give an accurate picture of the end-user experience
- Reporting: Current dashboards are limited
- User experience data is purged after a while, which means you need to extract data to another source.
February 07, 2020
Dynatrace is the future!
We are currently using Dynatrace in a few departments, but we are looking to expand it to the entire production environment. Dynatrace addresses app and infrastructure monitoring, as well as log analysis. The ease of the interface and amount of info is great. Overall, Dynatrace has helped us to locate issues we didn't know were in the environment.
- Application monitoring
- Infrastructure monitoring
- Hyper-V integration
- Citrix products integration

Dynatrace is Dynamite
Dynatrace is being used across our organization. From an Ops perspective, Dynatrace has more than exceeded our expectations. Gone are the days where Infrastructure was first to blame for everything--Dynatrace provides a clear visualization of where problems lie and even suggests possible resolution. Empowering our users--from DevOps to marketing; management to procurement- to self-service has also freed-up resourcing that can be better spent elsewhere. So great!
- Ease of root-cause analysis
- Visual representation of end-to-end
- Having to move logs to the cluster for analysis is a show-stopper. That's what Splunk is for; don't need duplication.
- A lot of the fields are cut-off and hard to read and the order of lists often changes on the current use of items in the Smartscape topology. It can be difficult trying to find things.
February 07, 2020
Dynatrace, from one user's perspective
We are currently using Dynatrace to investigate both general system monitoring and DevOps pipeline enhancements. We currently have been moving to leverage Davis as a necessary way to proactively and predictively manage stability in thousands of applications. Scaling can be a large hurdle within our organization, but Dynatrace is showing us that it's up for the challenge.
- Scaling
- Detection
- Licensing
- Business analytics

Dynatrace Review
We are using Dynatrace to monitor our environment of 1000+ hosts, both on cloud and on-premises, we are using DEM, synthetic to monitor various apps and perform auto healing as needed. Dynatrace works great on base-lining and alerting--seamless integration with different alert platforms.
- Excellent topology display by Smartscape
- Synthetic, DEM, and Davis are excellent tools
- Heap dumps are hard to gather.
- Event correlation is off sometimes.
February 07, 2020
Great product, but pricey
Dynatrace is used throughout our organization to provide APM including visibility, monitoring, and alerting for our products and services. We provide many different SaaS-based products and need to ensure that they're available to customers all the time. We want to ensure that we're providing an excellent experience for our users.
- Setup, deployment, and updates
- AI engine actually works--bubbles problems up proactively
- Price point--it's extremely expensive
- Support offering--in-app chat works, but takes a long time to solve problems that are even somewhat complex
February 07, 2020
Intelligent Automation
Dynatrace is being used by a specific department currently. As our expertise with this product increases, we will likely migrate existing application monitoring technologies into Dynatrace. The operations team has traditionally used various monitoring technologies that we want to integrate into one platform to increase issue correlation effectiveness. Additionally, we'd like to integrate alerting and incident management into Service Now.
- Application discovery
- Automated base-lining
- When filtering by time, it seems like certain clicks will send you down a trail that no longer illustrates that you're filtered by time.

We're using Dynatrace to decouple the issues we've had with migrating to the cloud. Dynatrace allows us to see what is happening across the stack from many perspectives of the business. I can have a network engineer look at a dashboard that has nothing to do with APM, but if an issue is raised he'll have the same context as others in dev.
- service traces
- uptime
- cost
- debug needs better 1-click

Dynatrace efficiently finds and addresses performance issues
Dynatrace was initially brought in as an app monitoring platform, and it does that extremely well. It is also being used by the development teams to identify hotspots that can benefit from optimization. We will be looking to leverage end-to-end monitoring to assess true end-user experience and also to leverage dashboards for both technical and business metrics.
- Application monitoring
- Infrastructure monitoring
- Consider a basic view for newer / less frequent users of the platform
