Tracing the heck out of it!(no pun intended)
Dynatrace is used to monitor the health and other metrics of the oracle servers and other servers that are added in the UI. UI is quite nice and its easy to look for metric graphs and generate graphs according to requirement. Currently they have automated every process via github and jenkins and its better than before.

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

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.

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 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.
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.
