Dynatrace was at first used with some application teams of the bank. We currently use it to enhance the support of all applications across the bank (whole organization). It helps to find out the pain points from application development or production issues. They also get performance metrics for the applications.
- Technology details on each host.
- Detailed host analysis.
- Reports.
- Instrumentation downtime.

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.

Beginner--just barely getting feet wet
We have been using Dynatrace for less that six months and at this time it is being used by our Infrastructure organization. We currently have it configured on less than 100 servers and at this time we are using it as a monitoring tool to help us with error analysis and troubleshooting issues. We are looking to delve deeper and set up better performance monitoring so that our various teams can better manage our systems.
- Easy to install and get started, and easy to go back in and modify
- Excellent support, training, and resources
- Coming from a beginner, so this may not be area for improvement, but it would be nice to be able to search and filter error results better, specifically with SQL errors.
- Storage of logs and being able to get back to them when you need to

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!

Know whether to go for Dynatrace after reading this.
Dynatrace is used for product monitoring on prod and pre-prod environments, including core application, a number of services around it, and databases. It helps to effectively debug through the app, and it increases visibility in the complex environment of production, which has been live for 17 years and is a mix of various technologies and approaches.
- Dependency identification
- User impact analysis
- Unreliable--sometimes API changes without a notice or mention in release notes
- Pricing--obscured, unclear, and fluffy, a lot of time wasted on every purchase

It's used company-wide. Dynatrace is being used for monitoring of applications. We use Dynatrace to identify the root causes of the problems for different applications. It is also used to make the developers' lives easier by identifying any performance problems in the application. We use the Davis AI engine to get alerted when there is a problem. We like the dashboarding section of Dynatrace as well.
- Service flow
- Root cause analysis
- Usability
- Role-based authentication

Great tool for patient people.
I try to make Dynatrace famous across the whole organization. For now, only a few teams of developers use it. We use Dynatrace mostly to measure end-user performance.
- Waterfall analysis for performance insights
- PurePath
- Live Chat support
- Custom metric ingesiton

Easy to use, difficult to master
We use Dynatrace as our primary application monitoring tool across the entire IT department, and we use Dynatrace as a way to provide some value to business users when they have dependencies on IT products put forth by our department. Production support users (like myself) use Dynatrace for monitoring, alerting, troubleshooting, and anomaly detection. Our tier 1 support uses Dynatrace's dashboard tools for around-the-clock monitoring. Our software development teams use Dynatrace to gain better insight and visibility into how their code performs in our various environments.
- Installation and implementation
- Anomaly detection and alerting
- Dashboard tools
- Navigation and ease of use

Dynatrace finds issues you didn't know were even there!
It is currently being used to help discover the reason for any incident we may have. The technology department is the only one using this product. When we used to have incidents it would take us a long time to figure the root cause so we could fix the issue within our application.
- Pinpoints where our issues are.
- Alerts us to issues quickly.
- A better deployment plan for new users.
- Better reporting on the version of OneAgent.

Dynatrace Review
It is just used by IT for monitoring systems and applications. We use synthetic monitors to see if the applications are up and if workflows are working. We use it for real user monitoring to see if users are actually having problems or if they are seeing errors or if workflows are completing.
- Synthetic monitors.
- Real user monitoring.
- Agent upgrades.
- Adoption.

We use Dynatrace as an end-to-end monitoring solution geared toward improving the user experience. Dynatrace helps us proactively identify and solve issues before they become major problems.
- Correlate problems and drive root causes.
- Problem identification.
- Incident notification.
- Alerting.

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?)

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

Dynatrace is our main tool to ensure the quality of service of our application.
- Ease of deployment
- Lack of configuration
- Reporting capabilities

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 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 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.
