// PLATFORM: DYNATRACE
Get the most out of Dynatrace instead of just paying for it
OneAgent, Smartscape, Davis AI: Dynatrace brings enterprise observability with built-in intelligence. We introduce the platform in a structured way, extend it with workflows and DQL analyses your team actually uses – and continuously adapt management zones, alerting and DPS consumption to your organisation.
- OneAgent rollout with a strategy: coverage prioritised by criticality, the DPS impact of every host decision made transparent up front
- Grail and DQL anchored in the team – so the platform is more than an expensive dashboard
- Managed-to-SaaS migration in parallel operation – dashboards and alerting are migrated and signed off against proven parity before switch-off
- Success guarantee: parity and consumption goals are stated in the proposal – if we miss them, we bear a significant part of the cost
First step: a short, free intro call – directly with a senior consultant, no sales chain. No strings attached – you decide afterwards.
Dynatrace can do more than most installations ever use – Davis AI, workflows and Grail are often just waiting to be used. We bring these capabilities into your daily operations, from introduction to automation, and make DPS consumption transparent and controllable. Where a leaner solution is enough for you, you hear it from us first.

What we do for you with Dynatrace
Introduction & OneAgent strategy
Rollout planning across hosts, containers and cloud: full visibility where it counts – with a deliberate choice per host between full-stack and infrastructure monitoring, so DPS consumption follows actual need.
Grail & DQL enablement
The Grail data platform and DQL open up analyses classic dashboards can't do – if your team masters them. We get it there, on your real data.
Davis AI & automation
From anomaly detection to automated response: we connect Davis with the Automation Engine and build the remediation workflows that catch recurring incidents according to your rules. That ranges from the automatic ticket to approved self-healing – as far as you are willing to go.
Managed-to-SaaS migration
Dynatrace has publicly communicated its strategic SaaS focus. We migrate from Managed in parallel operation – environments, dashboards and alerting profiles move over, and nothing is switched off until the new setup demonstrably matches.
Licence optimisation in the DPS model
The Dynatrace Platform Subscription (DPS) bundles the consumption of all capabilities against a pre-committed volume. How unused commitment and over-consumption are billed – rollover, true-forward, overage – is governed by your specific contract. This is exactly where money is often left on the table. We make consumption per capability transparent, size the commitment to real usage instead of hope, and thereby create a solid negotiating basis for renewal.
OpenTelemetry integration
OTel data in Dynatrace, Dynatrace context for OTel: we connect standard instrumentation with platform intelligence – and keep your exit path open.
// OUR PROCESS
Introduce, extend, optimise Dynatrace
Introduction
OneAgent rollout with a plan: coverage prioritised by criticality, management zones along your organisation, Smartscape as the shared situational picture – and a team that understands the platform.
Extension
More than monitoring: turning Davis detections into workflows, establishing DQL analyses on Grail, building in automation where routine incidents cost time today.
Optimisation
Turning paid-for power into used power: cleaning up alerting profiles and management zones, bringing Davis findings into daily operations – and making DPS consumption per capability transparent and controllable.
// MIGRATION
Paths to Dynatrace – and when less platform is enough
We migrate to Dynatrace from
- AppDynamics – the direct enterprise APM switch with comparable depth
- New Relic and Instana – consolidated onto one strategic platform
- Dynatrace Managed → SaaS: the in-house migration, clean and without a visibility gap
What you can rely on
- Parallel operation with dashboard and alert parity as the acceptance criterion
- An OTel foundation where it makes sense – for open exit paths
- A clear recommendation with openly stated evaluation criteria – even if it reads: a leaner platform is enough
// FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Dynatrace
You measure us against a goal agreed up front – for Dynatrace, for instance, complete dashboard and alert parity after the Managed-to-SaaS migration, or a measurably reduced DPS consumption dimension against your signed-off baseline, without any mandatory view being lost.
If we don’t reach it, we bear a significant part of the cost – exactly how is set out transparently in your contract.
If you genuinely want to analyse logs, metrics and traces together, yes – that is Grail’s core strength. With primarily classic APM monitoring, on the other hand, you may be paying for analytics nobody uses. We examine that against your real use cases before you commit.
For Grail, DQL and the Automation Engine workflows, yes – those only exist in SaaS, which is publicly positioned as the strategic target platform. So plan the switch while it can still be planned, not once it is forced. Compliance requirements can usually be met in SaaS today; we check yours in advance.
By making consumption visible and attributed per capability – who uses full-stack monitoring, who log ingest, who Grail queries? With that transparency you can steer, budget and negotiate. That is exactly the view we build.
Yes: configuration maintenance, cost monitoring and Davis tuning as a managed service – response times contractually fixed.
