Problem grouping and history helps to minimize reoccurring issues
Pros and Cons
- "Since we moved to OneAgent, we are much quicker to address live incidents and problems that occur in our systems."
- "More integrations could prove very beneficial to us."
What is our primary use case?
We use Dynatrace OneAgent as a solution to monitor applications, as well as infrastructure. This idea was appealing to us for time management and efficiency purposes.
How has it helped my organization?
Since we moved to OneAgent, we are much quicker to address live incidents and problems that occur in our systems. This has given time back to our Ops teams to fix problems rather than spend time looking for the root cause. This had been problematic for us in the past.
What is most valuable?
So far, Problems grouped in one place is a personal favorite. This allows me to stay on top of reoccurring issues and drive teams to minimize those. This constantly improves our services. The Problem history also helps keep track of previous issues, should we be required to look them up.
What needs improvement?
So far, OneAgent has been very useful for us. However, there is room for improvement. More integrations could prove very beneficial to us. One example is more AWS Redis integration, which would help us monitor our digital estate more efficiently than we do today. Licensing and user management could also be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
One year.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were previously using Dynatrace AppMon, which had limitations to monitoring applications. We were then demoed OneAgent, and it better suited our needs.

What is our primary use case?
This is primarily used for Dynatrace Customer Managed Configurations in a closed customer environment. The operating systems include Microsoft Windows Server and various Linux distributions.
How has it helped my organization?
The Dynatrace solution has an important role in optimizing application code and SQL queries for customer solutions. It is also used for identifying, alerting, and reporting on real-time problems.

What needs improvement?
For an easy view of global and entity-specific configurations, a separate tile or pane aggregating these configurations should be implemented. This would make managing global or entity-specific configurations easier, as it would show previous configurations made to the environment by another DT user.

One year.

This solution is very stable.
