Dynatrace is great for all kinds of organizations. We are able to detect issues not only in our infrastructure but also in our end-user devices as they experience problems. We also have issues where the help desk tends to stumble on, and we toss Dynatrace on it and wham! We get root cause details right away!

Dynatrace notifies us when any of our services or applications go down or reach a threshold where there is a risk of failure. We can take corrective action in time before it's too late and avoid catastrophes. We configure all our endpoints related to integration services and critical applications on Dynatrace to avoid business impact.

Excellent monitoring tool

It is suited for organizations that have high consumer traffic, which helps them in monitoring requests and their server performance. It also gives you an ability to generate a sitemap which gives you the entire flow of the request from the start until the end which helps in debugging quickly. The only drawback I could think of is the report generation is not that efficient. It could have been better if the reports could have been exported in a PDF format.

Dynatrace is very powerful and can analyze end to end performance simply by adding the agent to workstations and servers you want to instrument. It is very easy to install, and quick to be fully up and running. It is not suited for huge installations unless you're willing to fork over huge bags of cash, but it works very well on what systems you instrument.

For larger organisations that deal with continuous integration and continuous deployment, Dynatrace can improve the efficiency of your rollouts tremendously. The application monitoring tools are top-notch in the industry.
However, Dynatrace is quite expensive! If you run a small or medium enterprise with tight budget constraints, you might want to consider a simpler alternative.

Excellent APM

Well suited scenarios - Drilled down to the class level of the code from the dashboard which helps in doing the root cause analysis of the problem.

I'll not pick this tool for the cloud environment as I felt installation on the cloud servers is bit difficult. I wish there was a feature that would allow a Dynatrace administrator to remotely uninstall/remove the cloud agent from the Dynatrace management console without having to physically log on to each server to achieve that task.

Whether you are cloud, prem or hybrid, Dynatrace has the capability to monitor your entire stack. The SmartScape gives you a graphic overview of your entire stack. When we first installed it, we were surprised to see systems talking to systems they should not be talking to. No matter the size of your business, Dynatrace can monitor it. Through the use of OneAgent, you install it once and you're done! Also, their dashboarding capabilities are amazing! I can now customize different dashboards for different audiences and share them from the client directly.

Finding issues in applications that you just can’t see any other way. There might be problems that don’t end with a crash or error but it still isn’t running as you intended, this is a great tool to finally see that.

An APM like Dynatrace is a must for designing a better and better application over time. I cannot imagine living without it. For ultra distributed systems like a microservice architecture style, it's mandatory to have this kind of tool.

The synthetics can’t handle Windows functionality which our web site uses. For example, to find files or drag and drop works well to find JavaScript errors. The user information is great: how long they spent, their steps, etc.

Well suited for analyzing dependencies and relationships across the environment. Less useful during multiple problem analysis wherein services in question are sometimes shown as part of different issues.

Scenarios in which it is well suited - web site performance monitoring, application server monitoring.
Scenarios where it may be not well suited - Maybe log analytics, but I am looking forward to the service maturing and then using it at an enterprise level.
