Major application deployment for our company leveraged this as a means of providing real-time fault detection. Doesn't currently have visibility (in our implementation--not a failing of the product) to infrastructure, but I'm advocating my best to remedy that.

Dynatrace is well suited in a situation where our customers are moving from on-premises to cloud environments. The extensive insights from Dynatrace give us a good baseline and information customers can use to guarantee quality for their end-users.

With Dynatrace, it's easy to back-track any transaction. We are also using AppDynamics in production but developers are struggling to identify any root cause if there are any performance issues. However, in Dynatrace it's easy to back-track and identify any issue quickly. Dynatrace UI is user friendly compared to AppDynamics. I think Dashboard is nice, but there is no way I can compare between two time-frames. This would help me to compare test results between two releases easily.

Dynatrace is well suited for application performance monitoring, application debugging, real-time user monitoring and cloud infrastructure monitoring. It is really good for organizations that have hybrid clouds that span between on-premise, AWS, and Azure platforms. End-users can view all the issues from a single pane of glass which really helps in troubleshooting the application

It is great in an environment with several applications integrated and with dependencies, several cloud vendors, and high transaction volume. Good for businesses with high complexity and IT dependency in mission-critical business transactions. My perception is that it is less appropriate for industrial automation, specialized applications, and when you need to generate a lot of code injection to provide detailed metrics.

Well suited for financial services sector to improve customer experience, minimize downtime, rapid root cause analysis. Provides Deep insight into runtime transactions, full tech stack, network and infrastructure, database performance, SQL query performance, JVM resource utilizations, threading, memory usage and connections. Ideal for performance testing, test results analysis and reporting test artifacts.

Dynatrace into the future

Score 9 out of 10

Dynatrace is great when we have an issue with one of our apps and we need to pinpoint the problem. For example, we had an issue with kiosks at airports - we managed to have Dynatrace alert the airports when the kiosks were running low on paper and to replace them. Another place Dynatrace excels is when we have an outage that is affecting multiple applications at once. Usually that means some dependency is down and Dynatrace can quickly identify the root cause.

Dynatrace is less appropriate on some legacy systems that are not supported. Unfortunately no support for really old applications.

Dynatrace is well suited for reviewing customer complaints with your particular applications. Its user session record feature has helped with countless problems reported and allowed us to make changes to provide a better experience to our customers. We are ecstatic about the value provided with the tools available to us.

Very well suited for cloud deployments and deployments on platforms such as PCF and Kubernetes. Something Dynatrace does extremely well is ease of install no matter the platform, and the installation is also very easily automated. With that and the configuration API you can basically automate your entire Dynatrace implementation from installation to configuration.

It is well suited for Java applications, Windows servers, Linux servers, cloud applications. It is good at web availability, real user monitoring of web sites and java applications. It not as good at frameworks like weblogic due to the admin console and other web logic server issues and the T3 protocol.

Well suited: incident management process loves this as we are able to find the issues in real time.
Less appropriate: business analysis is not business driven and hard to understand at this level.

Well suited where you can implement the agent on as many platforms/hosts/environments that contribute to the whole as possible to eliminate gaps in service flows. For very proprietary application platforms perhaps not operating with widely-accepted standards the level of detail you may gain could only be host/utilization/resource statistics, less useful.

Dynatrace is well suited for the companies where application performance is given utmost priority and the Dynatrace team has a liberty to install the agents on all systems used by the business critical applications. With the help of detailed performance and load tests in the lower environment a lot of issues can be resolved beforehand.

Dynatrace is particularly useful for developers and enterprise management. It helps developers debug and identify issues in their applications, it's crucial for production support, generating proactive alerts, and lastly for managers with its dashboarding and reporting capability.

Best APM platform in the market. Dynatrace provides insight into detailed performance metrics for complex enterprise applications.
It doesn't provide detailed performance metrics for Python applications out of box. There is an SDK provided for code-level instrumentation of Python but it requires significant effort and code change.

Dynatrace is exceptionally well suited for classic performance monitoring and even extends further into problem analysis. Given its cost structure however it is not well suited for all types of monitoring and cheaper options will often be used to augment Dynatrace. When this occurs however one loses the critical correlation and single pane of view insights into the whole of application performance.

Dynatrace is well suited for performing root-cause analysis for a variety of application errors and outages. Using this one tool, we can isolate outages due to bad deployments, infrastructure issues, and everything in between. However, browsing/querying logs from a wider context seems a bit limited when compared to products like Splunk.

Dynatrace is well suited for monitoring a diverse ecosystem of applications, running in multiple environments and with differing languages. It is very quick and easy to implement Dynatrace and it is very fast to deliver business value. In the world of cloud deployments, monitoring server-less applications, i.e. AWS Lambda is still in early stages, which is a shame since we often use it.

Dynatrace has given me visibility into the services running on my systems and alerted me to errors that clients may not have even seen yet. An example would be the MSMQ service on a particular host. Dynatrace alerted me, stating that there was an issue with insufficient resources before anyone else had even reported the issue.
