1. Most Mature, Scalable Solution for .NET

Unrestrained innovation for .NET 4.5 and beyond, the third generation of dynaTrace‘s .NET Agent technology is the most mature and best-scaling solution in the market, and all with the lowest overhead.

2. Smart, Automatic Application Monitoring

• Smart Workflow: Let the intelligent workflow-based user interface guide you through the system, step by step, click by click, until the root cause is revealed; or share with your experts across the life cycle.
• Smart Monitoring: Throughput, failure rates, response times, user experience and infrastructure health are automatically monitored for all applications and business transactions – no need to configure anything.
• Smart Detection: Applications, business transactions and all JVMs, CLRs, legacy tiers and hosts are automatically detected and always up to date; also in cloud environments.
• Smart Baselining: Reliably detects unusual application behavior with self-learning, next-generation baselining algorithms, ensuring that you‘re automatically alerted in case of problems. Say good-bye to false-positive alerts.

3. Smart Baselining That's Self-learning

Tired of Yet-Another-Baselining-Based-On-Averages? We certainly are. YABBOA is only good on paper. dynaTrace provides fully dynamic, self-learning and problem-specific baselines to automatically detect abnormalities of

• response times
• transaction failure rates
• throughput
• system health.

This next-generation approach makes alerting more precise, provides alerts earlier in high- and low-load scenarios and reduces false-positives by 90 percent.

4. Visibility Into External and Cloud Services

Are you leveraging the power of external, private or public cloud services into your existing application landscape? While the benefits can be enormous, they come at a cost — complexity and dependency.

dynaTrace provides visibility into:

• External Services: Detection and visualization of tiers that are directly called from monitored nodes but are not instrumented with dynaTrace Agents.
• Public and Private Clouds: Detection and visualization of instrumented nodes that are running in cloud or virtualized environments.

5. Zero-configuration System Health Monitoring

On top of the agentless approach with monitoring plug-ins on the dynaTrace Collector, this release introduces fully automatic, agent-based OS monitoring:

• dynaTrace agents for Java, .NET, web servers and legacy applications now monitor both application and operating system health — infrastructure monitoring with "zero deployment."
• Zero maintenance in private and public clouds.
• Roll out machine agents for standalone application nodes (i.e. database servers).

Every node automatically provides health state information based on metrics such as CPU or memory usage that enables you to quickly understand if infrastructure health is the root cause for application problems. Automatic dependency detection lets you know which nodes are impacting the response time of a specific application or business transaction.

6. Out-of-the-box Cloud Discovery and Analytics

Any plans to move services or applications to Amazon EC2 or Microsoft Azure? Is your data center based on VMware? Good news — you are not alone!

dynaTrace automatically discovers both cloud and virtualized instances and provides analytics for state-of-the-art, Big Data technologies such as Cassandra. Automatic dependency mappings visualize response times and errors; database analytics provide 1-click to root cause for Big Data issues. All in real time, with zero configuration.

7. dynaTrace UEM – Faster, Broader, Optimized

Compuware dynaTrace User Experience Management (UEM) extends the list of supported AJAX frameworks for automatic click detection to extJS, Google‘s Web Tool Kit and ZK. dynaTrace also becomes the first APM solution to support W3C's brand new navigation-timing spec — faster, smaller and 100 percent accurate results.

And, dynaTrace UEM automatically provides insight into end users accessing your web applications from IPv6-based networks.

8. Visibility into Native, Mobile Applications with dynaTrace UEM

Do you need to know the user experience of your customers using native applications on their Android and iOS devices? dynaTrace UEM now comes with a mobile Agent Development Kit (ADK), which provides end-to-end visibility from the mobile phone down to the database call. Understand the impact of every back-end call on the user experience and find out which device types are struggling using your applications.

9. Localization: dynaTrace goes Japanese

The fully localized user interface provides the awesome dynaTrace user experience to Japanese customers in their local language. Need help or have any questions? No problem — support and documentation are provided in Japanese as well. On top of that, application servers such as Hitachi Cosminexus and Fujitsu Interstage are now supported.

10. Immediate Production Analytics 100x Faster

Our constant focus on scalabilty and performance resulted in a 100x speed-up of analytics, ensuring superior user experience for all types of analytics; short/long term transaction storage and performance warehouse.

This also provides immediate analysis results for dynaTrace users who are monitoring and analyzing large production systems concurrently.
