Dynatrace
Observability built for the age of AI
Dynatrace is an observability and application security platform that brings application, infrastructure, log, digital experience, business, and threat data into a single environment. It uses AI-driven analysis to detect anomalies, identify root causes, and support automated responses, helping teams prevent issues and manage cloud-native and enterprise workloads.
Core components include OneAgent for data collection, PurePath for distributed tracing, Smartscape for topology mapping, Grail for data storage and analytics, OpenPipeline for stream processing, and AppEngine for custom apps. Modules cover APM, Kubernetes monitoring, code monitoring, log analytics, real user and synthetic monitoring, application security, threat observability, and software delivery, with integrations for major clouds and OpenTelemetry.
Pricing is commitment-based at the platform level, with all capabilities available from the start and usage drawn from a single annual commitment. Individual modules are metered by hosts, pods, containers, sessions, or data volume, with options such as pay-per-query or bundled log retention. A 15-day free trial is available.
