Dynatrace (formerly Compuware APM) unveiled a new release of Dynatrace Synthetic Monitoring, now powered by a groundbreaking analytics engine. Rather than simply presenting raw data, it empowers IT teams with actionable answers to performance questions. Leveraging billions of daily data points and years of expertise, this new capability demonstrates Dynatrace's continued leadership in helping organizations move from traditional mobile and web application monitoring, to the proactive management and optimization of their digital users' experience.
Dynatrace Synthetic Monitoring enables businesses to detect, classify, identify and gather information on root-causes of performance issues. It also now provides instant triage, problem ranking and cause identification, and eliminates costly and time consuming issue investigation.
Automatic detection, classification and performance monitoring of all third-party services used by the business mobile and web applications enables IT teams to regain control of unmonitored services that are heavily relied upon. Outages and issue notifications allow IT teams to become more proactive in identifying and preventing user-impacting issues.
New capabilities and innovations in Dynatrace Synthetic Monitoring include:
- Dynatrace's smart analytics engine reduces hours of manual troubleshooting down to a matter of seconds with unique automated root cause analysis. Answers are seamlessly integrated into alert investigation for fast incident management.
- Purpose-built mobile and web performance optimization analytics, targeting specific performance anti-patterns, embedding best practices gained from thousands of customer experiences.
- Dynamic and automatic identification and ranking of problem areas to resolve, saving time on triage and performance remediation cycles, and freeing time to be spent on new development and innovation.
- Proactive internet service provider failure notifications with a new third-party services dashboard that automatically detects and displays the hosts a customer's websites uses. Dynatrace real-time smart analytics engine correlates outage data observed worldwide with the services used by a web site. When an ad provider, CDN or any other service experiences a performance degradation, the IT team is notified so proactive action may be taken.
"We have helped thousands of customers deliver digital moments that delight their end consumers and employees," said Steve Tack, Vice President of Product Management at Dynatrace. "We have captured those best practices and embedded them to automate performance analysis for mobile and web channels. Now all Dynatrace customers can benefit from this expertise with the industry's most complete and fastest root-cause analysis. Not only will this enable them to provide their users with superior experiences, it will lower their costs and increase their bottom line results."

I've spent a lot of time in the channel, and one thing I keep coming back to is this: a partner program is only as good as what it looks like in the field. Many programs look great on paper, but when a partner is in front of a customer navigating a complex hybrid environment or trying to make the case for AI-powered observability, the gap between what a vendor promises and what it actually delivers becomes very clear, very fast ...
Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 24, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses network observability tool sprawl ...
In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
