The Dynatrace and Microsoft partnership provides innovative solutions that enhance customer experience, improve efficiency, and generate considerable savings. However, data overload and skills shortages present challenges that companies need to address to maximize the benefits of cloud and AI technologies. Jay Snyder of Dynatrace emphasizes the importance of unified observability and security for businesses to effectively manage their cloud ecosystems in a recent interview he gave for The Technology Record.

“It’s not the big that will eat the small, it’s the fast that will conquer the slow.” – Jay Snyder, SVP of Partners and Alliances at Dynatrace.

The power of cloud observability 

Modernizing legacy systems can be challenging, and it’s important to do so with purpose—not just to modernize for its own sake. Organizations want to achieve the best return on their modernization investment, and observability can help provide that advantage. Dynatrace delivers comprehensive end-to-end observability to unify data in the cloud and on-premises. Dynatrace not only enhances the quality of the data it receives but also offers a holistic view of the entire tech stack, helping to maximize the value of the Microsoft ecosystem. 

With Dynatrace, customers can utilize the full set of Azure capabilities, including metrics and data from the Azure platform, and automatically identify workflow optimization opportunities.
