“DQL Centralization Praised Yet Deployment and Documentation Difficulties Persist”
Out of the box experience has been fantastic, but the documentation has proven to be sparse and hard to decipher. A greater focus on use cases and real-world examples of implementations would prove to be much more beneficial. I also think that better support would be helpful. There have been a dozen times where my support ticket would be passed around L1 techs for a very advanced technical use case instead of being sent up to SMEs for faster resolution.

“Poor guidance and support after purchase and a general tendency to translate any request for assistance into an excuse to increase contract spend.”
Support from Dynatrace has been a very "yes man" experience. We were frequently fed the false narrative that would would be able to achieve meaningful observability by simply installing OneAgent. Overall it felt like we had wasted a large amount of time approaching observability from a fundamentally wrong perspective, while being encouraged that we were doing things right the whole time from our hands on Dynatrace representatives. This resulted in getting virtually no value out of Dynatrace.

What Your Peers Are Saying About Dynatrace
VP of IT
How are you approaching Observability in the Cloud across both non-prod and prod environments? Are you paying for a tool (e.g. Dynatrace) across all environments or only production? If only production, are your devops teams able to use the tool effectively in production after not having used it in development? If across all environments, how is the cost not prohibitive? Or, did you manage to accept it as a cost of doing business?Vice President of Enterprise Solutions
See Full DiscussionI’ve found that a 'tool-first' approach can sometimes lead to unnecessary costs. Instead, consider a 'problem-first' mindset: pinpoint specific observability needs in both non-prod and prod environments before selecting tools. If using tools like Dynatrace across all environments, ensure they’re utilized effectively by your DevOps teams. For those managing costs, evaluate if a tool’s expense is justified by its value and how it contributes to overall efficiency. Balancing cost with effectiveness is key to a sustainable observability strategy.
Director of Corporate Development
Curious to hear how organizations are leveraging observability tools in relation to their ITSM platforms. Where is the source of truth for SLAs/SLOs? How is application dependency mapping handled? Is there integration between the two technologies? We are using Dynatrace (observability) and ServiceNow (ITSM), for reference.Sr Software Principal engineer (Gen AI and ML Security)
See Full DiscussionServicenow + Dynatrace is a decent combination. Although, it would be better to maintain the product/app dependencies in a separate system, infra dependency in Servicenow, observability in dynatrace/splunk/grafana

Best in Class infrastructure auto-discovery and AI power insights
Dynatrace infrastructure monitoring auto-discovers your entire stack with minimal setup and provides real-time topology mapping that makes incident triage fast and intuitive. It is powerful for complex hybrid environments, though host based pricing adds up quickly and anomaly detection requires careful tuning up front - Manager, Project Management10B+ USDBankingReview Source
Powerful, observability for Enterprise, but invest in training and budget planning before you commit
Dynatrace is a powerful AI driven observability platform that excels at full stack monitoring and automated root cause analysis, it's a top choice for large enterprises though the learning curve, frequent UI changes and high costs make it less ideal for small teams. - Manager, Project Management10B+ USDBankingReview Source

Collaboration Approach and Early Insights Noted in Dynatrace Implementation Experience
Working with Dynatrace has been a very positive experience, I wanted to move away from the traditional customer-vendor model and work as "One Team" - The support from Dynatrace has been outstanding and as one team we are aligned and have a shared vision of where we are heading. Customer service and delivery is at the core of Dynatrace, as well as being ahead with technology, the embracing of AI and more.
