Dynatrace user of in-house implementation
We currently leverage the APM capabilities of Dynatrace within our organization. It is primarily deployed to benefit our Application/Development teams, at the moment. Currently, Dynatrace provides the ability to allow for application tracing across different applications and teams that have dependencies/relationships with each other.
- Application fault tracing between different applications
- Pure Path views into all supporting components of an application
- Monitoring of applications that are developed in programming languages that require intermediate-language compilation (C++) still requires integration at the code-level.

Dynatrace is an essential & valuable part of our services portfolio.
We succesfully resell Dynatrace as part of our Managed Services portfolio. Both we and our customers value the insights delivered by Dynatrace and the intuitive way the information is delivered. Since the migration to the new Dynatrace platform, including the One Agent implementations, usage has become even more easy and valuable.
- Ease of implementation
- Full stack monitoring
- Pricing model is complicated

Dynatrace is the market leader in APM tools.
We use Dynatrace mostly in the pre-production environment to identify any performance issues before we promote code to production. Dynatrace is used by separate business units but we are considering rolling it out across the organization. By using Dynatrace, we've prevented many performance issues going to production and prevented performance issues in production as well.
- Easy to identify any performance issues by back-tracking any dependency calls
- Automatically identifies the root cause of any performance problem
- Dashboards: Currently we don't have the option to compare dashboard data between two time-frames
- Easy to group multiple database instances into one single database
February 07, 2020
Excellent tool to deep dive into issues
We are using Dynatrace's Davis Assistant to analyze all aspects of the full stack and provide proactive suggestions for resolution of issues. Also considering replacing Tealeaf with session replay from Dynatrace once it becomes mature enough.
- High quality session replay
- Full stack monitoring
- Session replay needs more granularity - need to see DOM/HTML
- Capture needs easier integration with Adobe

Dynatrace Review
It's being used in different departments. The business problems addressed are application performance monitoring, debugging, real-time user monitoring, and integrating with DevOps organizations. Ease of deployment brings down the number of hours we spent on deployments. One click deployment on the servers is the big gain for our organization. Pure Path debugging is another advantage.
- Application performance monitoring
- Application debugging
- AI engine
- Integration with Remedy

Robust solution, but need to prove a better business case.
Currently, Dynatrace is being used by the IT department only on a POC. We are reviewing the possibility to acquire a full version to support future business development like shared services and to improve our ability to automatically respond and prevent applications and infrastructure problems. Also, we intend to use Dynatrace as a business monitoring solution on a control tower-like environment.
- Quick insights for root cause analysis
- Dashboards with great drill down abilities

Dynatrace into the future
Dynatrace is used as the premier enterprise monitoring tool at Air Canada. It is currently used by our monitoring and IT operation center teams. We use Dynatrace to monitor various applications in the Air Canada network including our website - aircanada.com and our check-in channels including mobile, web and airport kiosks. The main business problem Dynatrace addresses is visibility. But it also does so much more to help us reach root cause analysis quickly and automatically. Whenever we have issues on an application, Dynatrace automatically detects the problem and sends an alert to our ITOC team to investigate the current issue.
- AIops - automation is king, and saves time/money.
- One agent deployment is simple and the auto detection feature is great.

Dynatrace Review
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
Dynatrace is used by infrastructure support teams, web development teams, platform DevOps teams, and the service desk. It addresses service response time issues, availability issues, bad code issues, and resource utilization issues.
- Installs easily with no modifications needed to target applications.
- Provides detailed PurePath code-level visibility to all application transactions not just sampled ones.
- Dynatrace could improve the license model. They license host units, DEMs, and metrics differently.
- Price model for host units is based on host memory size and this can be costly.

Overall Dynatrace Review
Dynatrace is used on a daily basis for our incident management process. When an ongoing incident is active, then a war room is opened to allow all teams to follow the Dynatrace analysis. We normally start using the Layer breakdown to identify the service or technology that could cause the problem.
Many support teams use AppMon to identify and resolve ongoing problems. Also used to help find the root cause for the problem management process.
Many support teams use AppMon to identify and resolve ongoing problems. Also used to help find the root cause for the problem management process.
- Session replay is a great feature that helps the IT support team see what the user was doing when the error showed up.
- DAVIS AI. Now finding the root cause is a simple task. The AI engine does great work identifying the flow of applications-services-infrastructure in the problem. Even goes farther identifying and showing where the problem is.
- Navigation: sometimes it's hard to find the information as this is placed in many screens. At the beginning users have a hard time.
- Infrastructure view: it seems cool to have all interrelated nodes in graphical mode, however for very large typologies it's hard to follow.
Our current and future ecommerce platforms are enabled with Dynatrace for application debugging and insight, most importantly due to a variety of application platforms and even custom applications developed internally. It is used company-wide by our ebusiness organization.
- Level of detail digging into supported platforms.
- Problem AI & notification.
- SaaS model user interface can be difficult/confusing to navigate.
- While many plugins are available, many involve detailed tweaking to get right.

Dynatrace: High-value application and monitoring insights
Dynatrace is used to monitor several applications and areas of infrastructure both on premises and in the cloud. Error analysis and outage remediation are the main focuses, although with greater familiarity, more reporting and real-time business data analysis may be explored in the future. We are also exploring leveraging some of the automation capabilities in a variety of areas.
- Application monitoring
- Performance monitoring
- User experience
- Log querying/analysis is difficult to navigate to

Dynatrace
Most of my clients use Dynatrace in specific departments, not the whole organization. They are almost all working on expanding this and especially trying to bring business people to the party. Most of the time, my clients come to Dynatrace to work on monitoring their apps, but we try to show them that they can deliver business metrics and also optimize their performance, not just be reactive.
- Problem Detection
- Root Cause Analysis
- Serverless application monitoring
- Cloud integration

Dynatrace comes at you fast but is extremely helpful!
Dynatrace is used by the SaaS team to monitor the various environments contained within our 'domain'. It helps us monitor services, servers, alerts us to degradation, etc., in our environments. It helps us speed up our process of triaging an issue and resolving said issue faster.
- Contains an amazing breadth of information without lifting a finger
- Speeds up team response to issues
- The learning curve is a bit steep and a lot comes at a first-time user fast
- Better integration with environments that are secured behind SSO modules, etc. for things like Session Replay
