Top 10 New Features in dynaTrace 4


1 Unified User Experience Management and Application Performance Management

A new generation of User Experience Management (UEM) system has been enabled by extending PurePath to the browser, fully transparent to the user-- bringing UEM and APM together in a single system for the first time. To learn more about dynaTrace UEM click here.


2 dynaTrace 4 is Enterprise Scalable

Would you like to monitor 100% of your users working with their browsers on your applications, all 24x7? Follow all their requests from the browser into the Web server and through all of your Java, .NET and C/C++ application servers? And see how these requests are handled by CICS or database backends? dynaTrace 4 does all this and more - on an enterprise scale. Moreover, Enterprise authentication services (LDAP) and security capabilities have been enhanced for business critical deployments.


3 Real-time Business Savvy

Now, there is no need to wait for weekly application usage reports. dynaTrace captures every transaction, in production, and retrieves business critical information in real time. Out-of-the-box Business Transactions, dashboards and reports provide you with immediate visibility and insight into your end users and their demands – allowing you to get in front and stay ahead of the pack!


4 Zero-Configuration Required!

With short release cycles and agile processes becoming the norm, new releases and applications need to go live, in production, quickly. Reduce the configuration time with dynaTrace 4 PurePath Technology to ZERO. Auto-sensors capture all performance-relevant information down to the method level, giving you unprecedented detail with low overhead. Now development can get actionable feedback straight from production, accelerating time to market, supporting complete lifecycle management.


5 1-Click to Root Cause

Get actionable performance characteristics of your production system from tier- and API-level all the way to the method-level. This unprecedented depth provided by PurePath Technology® enables your developers to understand and resolve every performance bottleneck – be it caused by CPU, I/O, synchronization or wait times – and more without placing a single custom sensor.


6 Keep Deep History

When you walk into the office on Monday morning, how do you analyze a problem that happened last Friday just after you left the office for the weekend? dynaTrace provides you with the answers by keeping complete transaction data for up to 10 or even 14 days depending on storage capacity and load. Data access is fully transparent and speedy. Aggregated performance data for trending or reporting purposes can be stored in dynaTrace's performance warehouse for years.


7 Auto-Detect Transaction Errors

Find out whether your applications work as expected for all your users in every scenario before they call and complain. dynaTrace 4 detects all common application errors – whether your database is down, a Web Service is not working or if an exception is not caught – dynaTrace captures the root cause, analyzes the impact on the user transaction and alerts you to high error rates. Be proactive about functional reliability and improve your end user experience.


8 Deeper Insight into Database Access and Message Queues

Widely-used databases such as Oracle, DB2, SQL Server and connection pools are monitored with highly specialized capabilities by dynaTrace 4. dynaTrace automatically detects and monitors databases and connection pools. In addition to response time contribution of database access, connection pool usage and wait times are also evaluated. It‘s now much easier to understand database usage, even in heterogeneous database environments where several databases may be involved with a single user request.


9 Architected For Virtualized and Cloud Deployments

dynaTrace 4 PurePath Technology makes private and public cloud deployments even easier with zero-configuration and reduced monitoring-related traffic. dynaTrace collectors now enable monitoring of heterogeneous environments by seamlessly combining data from public cloud and private cloud datacenters.


10 Auto-Detect Applications, With Richer Insight

Multiple applications are automatically detected and monitored separately – out of the box – providing you with richer information more easily. Charting, filtering and Business Transactions capabilities have been enhanced to include calculation of percentiles, conversions, comparisons and more to make custom dashboards easy and more powerful for quicker insight into real-time application activity.
