Good Solid RUM to rely on
This is a very good tool for APM. It gives very good internals of the applications and the user experience. We have implemented it in our Test and Pod environment for our business-critical application with the UEM. We also have the various dashboards for the app support team, Infra team and the business folks. Along with the dashboard displayed on the large-screen TV in the offshore monitoring team.
- Best tool for APM.
- Best user interface.
- Very frequent releases.
- License cost is high in some forms of the JVM configuration which becomes very expensive.

Dynatrace is the new (old) kid in town!
We are currently using Dynatrace across our organization. We've consolidated previous Dynatrace applications like Gomez, DCRUM, and AppMon. Dynatrace has addressed many issues and a single app is much better for our organization The installation is by far our favorite part. The ease of installation compared to AppMon is tenfold. We can easily deploy and with the OneAgent grabbing all the process automatically - gives our teams time to focus on other tasks.
In addition, the AI finds root cause - again allowing our team to focus on other issues!

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

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.
Our software delivery teams in IT are using the tool primarily for reactive troubleshooting, and plan to expand the use of it for proactive monitoring and alerting in the next quarter. It has helped us troubleshoot issues quicker, and understand improvement opportunities related to scalability or infrastructure configuration. The tool has allowed us to double in size in terms of users and clients with minimal issues related to performance.
- Ability to see the full stack and how the layers are related.
- Root cause analysis of problems that are identified with minimal effort.
- Automate console app monitoring (converting console apps to services).

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 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
February 07, 2020
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

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.
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 Delivers Accelerated Performance Management with a Holistic View of the Customer Experience
Dynatrace is being used to monitor key business critical applications supporting sales and member processes. It is primarily used by the IT department, but it is currently being expanded to member services and marketing. We have utilized Dynatrace to analyze and resolve critical failures and performance degradation in these applications as we move forward on our digital journey.
- Usability and user adoption.
- Ease of installation and configuration.
- Licensing model and utilization.
- Managed environment upgrades.

Dynatrace is an excellent APM
Dynatrace blankets our primary customer and investor portals. It provides critical operational support to the infrastructure and application teams in order to identify and resolve problems rapidly. Dynatrace also provides major business metrics that are reported and socialized across Senior Leadership and above.
- Easy to manage and project license consumption/spend.
- Dynatrace self-instruments services and it is lightning fast to onboard new hosts.
- It can be challenging to teach others Dynatrace, as troubleshooting is the culmination of skills acquired over time, and mileage varies greatly among experience and skillset in a support department.
- Guided AI assistant when doing tasks, such as dashboard creations, graph creation, alert creation.

Dynatrace is the event management leader!!
We use Dynatrace for event management and digital user experience monitoring. We also use it to help identify problems before they become a large issue or outage. It helps that they have an office local in Detroit. Dynatrace is out central monitoring tool! Support and consulting are really great also.
- Self discovery
- Event management
- Better dashboards
- Email capabilities for dashboards via PDF
February 06, 2020
Good overall product
Dynatrace is used to monitor all of our critical systems including databases, VMware, Linux servers, rancher clusters, and cloud infrastructure. It is primarily used by operations and dev teams to troubleshoot and monitor our apps and systems. We need 100% uptime and Dynatrace helps us get there.
- Service flow does a good job of showing the app-to-app dependencies and downstream issues.
- Alerting and integration makes it easy to know when a critical problem arises.
- Host license management is non-existent. Needs way better visibility and reporting.
- Not much native support for web-methods.
February 06, 2020
Enterprise monitoring with ease!
We use Dynatrace across the company to monitor our critical business applications so that our customers are getting the best experience possible from us. Dynatrace allows us to deploy faster with less man power than competing products and helps identify issues automatically.
- OneAgent deployment is really easy.
- AI baselines and automatic problem identification.
- Licensing model complexities for large companies.
- Better APIs to bring more transparencies to the usage of the tool (dem usage, host unit usage, etc).
February 06, 2020
Easy to implement and provides a great return on investment!
Dynatrace is being used with the IT department of the organization. It has reduced the speed to resolution of environmental issues and provided more insight into how the environment is performing overall. It also easily integrates into other software, allowing for the ability to automate problem resolution for recurring issues.
- Dynatrace is easy to deploy. The previous APM that my organization used required manual configuration for each new deployment. Dynatrace saves the team substantial time by doing this for us.
- Dynatrace alerting integrates into a number of platforms, which has allowed us to spend less time with "eyes on glass" and more time implementing new tools.
- Dynatrace does not provide an easy way of tracking license usage and growth. Environment growth must be manually looked up, instead of providing any kind of alerts that the environment may be about to hit the license cap.
February 06, 2020
Great product, but pricey
It is being used across the entire IT organization as our APM tool.
- Dashboarding.
- Root cause analysis.
- Faster time to delivery for enhancements.
- Easier licensing program.

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 easy to use
It's been widely used across our enterprise for RUM/application/service/infrastructure/database monitoring and troubleshooting performance issues.
- Application Monitoring
- Troubleshooting
- Help in automation of deployment for feature services
- Upgrades should be made easy

Phenomenal Cosmic Power, Itty Bitty Applications
Dynatrace is being used in our application development department, primarily to detect, prevent and troubleshoot issues in Production, but also to assist with testing in lower environments. We use the tool with a variety of technologies, and for a variety of applications (internal and customer facing) of wildly differing sizes.
- Issue Detection and Correlation
- User Experience Management and Tracking
- Cost
- No Safeguard for Licensing Consumption, which could lead to large, unexpected costs

A Great Product with a Learning Curve
We do all of our development in house (Java on WebLogic/Tomcat) we use Dynatrace primarily to track and monitor user performance. We started as an Appmon and Synthetic Classic Customer back in the day and are now on the new Dynatrace platform. However, our primary use case hasn't changed. We are currently working on a massive rewrite and targeting microservices (Kubernetes/Docker) this was the primary driver for us switching from AppMon to New DynaTrace. The primary business issues it addresses for us are numerous. Being able to get insight into into important business transactions like claim processing and batch processing are vital to our business. The product is primarily used within our ISS organization however not all those users are technical.
- Tracing user actions click by click
- Monitoring and Alerting on critical Business Transactions
- Tracing hotspots in database queries
- I wish that the New Dynatrace had all the functionality of Legacy AppMon
- I wish that the New Dynatrace had better documentation. AppMon seems to have much more flushed out info
- I wish that it was easier to "clone" created environments. There are many things in Dynatrace that you get stuck creating multiple times.
