"The geographical view provides a nice visualization of performance on a map."
"We have improved performance by 50% and determined conflicts in the application to eliminate errors."
"Dynatrace Appmon provides us with the ability to proactively identify issues within our systems which could be impacting our customers."

"The messaging layer is not really capturable and measurable right now."
