Dynatrace is well suited for environments where technologies fit with their support matrix - which is just about everything. I'd recommend Dynatrace for large, technologically diverse environments where visibility is important. Dynatrace is unique as it auto discovers things so it enables democratization of data as well as visibility.

I wouldn't recommend Dynatrace for tiny environments as it may not be cost effective.

Dynatrace is perfectly suitable for monitoring applications and getting end to end traceability of transactions. It is helping us to troubleshoot and monitoring applications in real time. It is a great way to see usage history and it alerts users if usability numbers drop. There are several way to configure it to meet your organizational goals.

Dynatrace is excellent to support infrastructure performance and aid teams with root cause analysis. The system does not require you to name each individual item and define thresholds for each individually.

The installation and onboarding was very easy and provided immediate insight. The API is extremely robust and we use it for reporting, migrating configuration between clusters, and deployment pipeline. We would like to see the UI improved so that it can be customized for compact views with more data available per screen.

It is well suited for monitoring user sessions, applications, network activity, maybe not well suited for monitoring mainframe? I've only been using it for about a year and thus far I really don't have anything negative to say. We have one onsite Dynatrace tech and one offsite, they are both instrumental in the success of the product at our company.

Dynatrace is easy to use

It's best suited for performance monitoring, anomaly detection, and troubleshooting. Log analysis could be included instead of requiring an extra license, sometimes it gets complicated where process group detection rules apply. Some search and filter functionalities can be enhanced. It should have option to download reports to csv or some other format.

Dynatrace is suitable for most application performance monitoring scenarios. If you're looking for something that is easy to set up and gives you good insight into your applications then Dynatrace is your product of choice. However, due to the complexity of the product, it is recommended that you have dedicated resources to work with the product.

We have an overly large and cumbersome environment but Dynatrace is suitable for almost every scenario. For us we have hundreds of thousands of OneAgent entries, and at that point the API needs a lot more functionality to make it easier to scale.

Dynatrace is amazing when it comes to tracing a transaction through the system. However, when it comes to log metrics, I find other tooling to be better.

Scenarios where Dynatrace is well suited is when you have inter-crossing dependencies with your services and applications. Dynatrace OneAgent's ability to pull these dependencies together and display them in the Smartscape is awesome. In an environment where scalability and capacity is key, Dynatrace OneAgent's auto-detection and auto-injection feature suits well. A scenario where Dynatrace does not suit well is when you have app teams that have performance leaders who may have demands for higher levels of access in order to orchestrate settings such as tags.

Dynatrace is well suited to any multi-tiered application or application stack using most modern technologies (e.g. .NET, Java, etc.)...this can be on premise or in the cloud, or any mixture of the two. While it will work in a mainframe oriented environment, you'll find lots of challenges trying to get all the visibility you want from this scenario.

Most enterprises are moving to a multi hybrid cloud environment. With multiple business units building their own apps, this product allows to establish a common process for Apps lifecycle. As organizations are adopting DevOps and Agile methodology, the tool allows teams for quick feedback and turnaround to fix any bugs or issues that are introduced.

Dynatrace is well suited when a customer needs to monitor real time user behavior by tracking the user actions using pure paths, and identify the root cause of the performance issues faced by the end users. Dynatrace can also be used to provide resource usage patterns and raised alarms when there is high usage above thresholds.

Dynatrace is a highly powerful, highly advanced, monitoring tool. It is capable of keeping tabs on the entire application stack for many, many applications. It is highly scalable, easy to implement and quite verbose in the information that it provides. However, it may not be ideally suited for all use cases. Be cognizant of what you are looking to do and remember that you don't always need to use a chainsaw to slice bread.

Dynatrace can be well suited to monitor front end and backend api services. Application performance monitoring can be better enhanced. Containers can be well monitored using Dynatrace. Dynatrace ActiveGate can help monitoring Kubernetes clusters with a better visualization. Honestly Dynatrace can have some improvements in terms of troubleshooting customer's technical issues.

Dynatrace is well suited across multiple technology stacks ranging from Solaris, Linux, Windows, OpenShift, GCP, AWS, Azure. It also is great at detecting legacy platforms that use obscure or older technologies and automatically identifying and instrumenting these applications. Implementing real user experience is a breeze as Dynatrace has the ability to auto inject on almost every platform & technology type.

Dynatrace is great for getting users a wealth of knowledge on areas that need to be monitored. It is great for giving comprehensive application performance management data. It would be less appropriate in areas where you just need a simple up down check. Because of the plan to charge for custom metrics, it is not as well suited to use it for that.

Performance management and monitoring are becoming more critical in an increasingly digital landscape; if your servers are slow, or down entirely, customers are very easily able to find alternatives that will perform better. Staying on top of response time trends and keeping high uptimes improves customer satisfaction, increases customer retention and increases revenue across the board. Dynatrace is able to diagnose and alert different people and teams about issues immediately.

Dynatrace is good for discovering infrastructure related issues and application traffic related issues, but cannot be used for synthetic monitoring, customized dashboards and customized reports.
