Top reasons customers choose Dynatrace over New Relic

Dynatrace delivers a unified architecture that transforms fragmented data into actionable, real-time business value. Here is what makes the difference.

  • A unified data lakehouse built for AI-driven operations

    Grail unifies observability, security, and business data with zero-latency storage and massively parallel processing. New Relic's platform is built for querying, not AI-driven operations.

  • Real-time dependency mapping that keeps itself accurate

    Smartscape continuously discovers and maps your full stack with no manual configuration. New Relic's service maps require user-defined relationships to stay current.

  • Causal AI that acts, not just alerts

    Dynatrace Intelligence auto-prevents, auto-remediates, and auto-optimizes across SRE, Dev, and Security domains. New Relic offers correlation-based AI with minimal automation.
