Top 3 reasons people choose Dynatrace over Cisco AppDynamics and New Relic
1
The broadest depth and widest scope
Advanced observability in context, so you get the complete picture of every app, every user, across every cloud, down to code-level, traces, metrics, logs, and metadata.
2
Smarter with AI-Assist
Davis®, the Dynatrace AI-assistant, provides real-time answers and actions into root cause, behavioral intelligence, and business impact. Just install it and try it for yourself, if you can get both started, which brings us to the next point.
3
Simpler and easier
Automatic deployment, configuration, thresholds, dashboards, upgrades. Dynatrace was designed to make it easy for all BizDevOps teams to collaborate through a single source of truth. Just compare how long it takes to install both platforms. It isn’t comparable.
Compare Dynatrace, AppDynamics and New Relic
The difference is clear
Dynatrace
AppDynamics
New Relic
Advanced observability
Dynatrace
Beyond 3 pillars of metrics, traces and logs with user experience data, auto instrumentation, and designed to automatically adjust for dynamic workloads across every cloud platform, containers, microservices and Kubernetes.
AppDynamics
Manual config and instrumentation for data collection and dynamic workloads wastes time and resources on redundant work. Not built for Kubernetes, OpenShift, Cloud Foundry, etc. resulting in big blind spots.
New Relic
Manual config and instrumentation for data collection and dynamic workloads wastes time and resources on redundant work. Not built for Kubernetes, OpenShift, Cloud Foundry, etc. resulting in big blind spots.

AI-Assistance
Dynatrace
Davis, AI-assistance, continually learns so there are no wasted resources even as environment changes. Solves precise root cause automatically, prioritized by business impact – acting as a force multiplier for your teams and enabling you to focus on what matters without wasting time
AppDynamics
Correlation-based data engine, with no root cause, means wasting time and resources to comb through the data and manually find issues and their causes
New Relic

Cross-team Collaboration
Dynatrace
All-in-one platform provides a single source of truth across APM, infrastructure monitoring, digital experience, and business analytics – breaks down silos and enables easier collaboration across Biz/Dev/Ops teams
AppDynamics
Siloed tools with a separate, newer platform layered on top of old platform means your teams are not on the same page, and you have to waste time and resources to stitch across disparate tools to get anything done

“When we started at Kroger we had a different monitoring solution, that we had dealt with for the last five years, and I'm not going to name drop but it was not as ‘dynamic’ as they said that it should be”
Jay Cotton
“We were using New Relic, but we never got the full picture of our production environment”

2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for APM and Observability
Dynatrace has been named a Leader among products in Application Performance Management (APM). These user ratings reflect the advantage of Dynatrace’s all-in-one-platform, which was made for IT, DevOps, and digital experience use cases, and built on a unified data model to enable increased automation and intelligence.
While most of the big vendors have spent their time trying to patch and upgrade their way to the needs of today, Dynatrace went back to the drawing board and created something special for today’s needs.”
Larry Roberts, Senior Systems Administrator, SRE, Architect - Gordon Food Service
A gamechanger in monitoring and operations. The unique approach to provide full-stack visibility, not only focusing on one aspect but covering everything that is of interest for a modern cloud operation, driven by a DevOps culture. The scale and automation at which Dynatrace can be applied is unmatched.”
