Dynatrace is well suited for monitoring legacy monolithic apps as well as microservices-based architectures. Dynatrace works really well out-of-the-box, but it needs a lot of customization to work properly for some more advanced setups. Training is available, but not clear at times for people who are looking for more advanced topics.

Depending on the technology, Dynatrace may not be the best possible solution. Yet for our use case, it has been well instrumented and provides a great deal of insight into our applications.

Dynatrace is phenomenal for ingestion of cloud infrastructure and applications running native via containerization. Dynatrace functionality is limited as a monitoring tool for AIX/Power hardware. Dynatrace mobile application has too much noise for event alerting that is not at an outage/problem level.

Dynatrace is extremely useful as a triage and diagnostic tool. Especially if being used by technical people. It can do monitoring and alerting but the configuration of it still seems a bit convoluted to me. If your primary use is not technical you may run into issues. It is definitely a very robust platform and easy to get lost in.

The Dynatrace team is always improving the app and the support is great. However the mindset is for a smaller sized organization. Eg. Role-based access to administer different apps is missing from this tool. Dynatrace reports are virtually non-existent and it only provides dashboards. Not an ideal situation when leadership is actually seeking tangible reports to be delivered to our clients (government mandated application status and outage period requirements)

Dynatrace stands out in monitoring micro-services, quick root causes analysis, and its ease of use from an integration perspective with the likes of ServiceNow. Dynatrace requires low overhead in comparison to previous APM+ solutions which impacted system performance. Dynatrace provides great insights into the digital environment.

Monitoring servers and applications from start to finish. I do like their ability to capture and record web clicks so you can see exactly what a client/customer is doing on your website so you can figure out what went wrong or how to improve the site. Love the fact that you can view a vCenter environment to see what is going on and like the emails I receive when something goes wrong.

It is well suited for companies that only do infrastructure monitoring and are struggling to move to the next level of application monitoring. Also, customers who have less capable APM tools can switch to Dynatrace to have better APM end to end monitoring.

As per my knowledge of using Dynatrace, it is well suited for any type of application with multi-tier distributed applications. Dynatrace is also well suited for public clouds such as AWS, Azure, and GCP. Dynatrace works well with AWS cloudWatch, Azure monitoring API, so there is no need for OneAgent install on individual instances, especially since most of the hosts in these cloud environments are not static. Dynatrace also works well with Kubernetes so it can help with private cloud deployment such as OpenShift, etc.

Well suited for a variety of applications like our internal apps, customer-facing apps, and cloud apps. It pulls everything together that I need to monitor my applications: Real User Monitoring, synthetics, session replay, infrastructure monitoring. I can follow everything from web page to database calls.
The tool quickly identifies issues and creates alerts with all the relevant information to help me resolve the problem.

Dynatrace is well suited to a number of tasks. It is important to determine who the end users are and gather good information to tailor their experience accordingly.

For instance, business/marketing should not have access to some of the more technical data, and business metrics can be a distraction for IT operations personnel.

Dynatrace is well suited for troubleshooting with session replay when the end-user has some failed transactions. We had some issues with the consumption of CPU usage. With the host dashboard and transaction flow, it is easy to figure out where the root cause is located. The Database dash is very useful as well, and we can figure out why a transaction is slow thanks to it.

Honestly, we have found a use case for Dynatrace in just about every area of focus for our company. This includes everything from infrastructure, to user experience, to network. The only area we have found where Dynatrace can be used, but as more of a compliment to another tool would be Google Cloud Platform (GCP). GCP offers Stackdriver and provides some things that Dynatrace can not get.
