Dynatrace, Inc., the 10-K for 2026

Dynatrace sells software that watches how a company's applications, cloud infrastructure and AI systems are running, works out why something has gone wrong, and can act on it automatically. The field is called observability, and the company combines it with runtime application security and what it calls agentic AI operations. The platform works across the major cloud providers, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform, as well as on-premises and mainframe systems. Its principal executive offices are in Boston, Massachusetts.

How the platform is built

All observability, security and business data, including logs, traces, metrics, real user data and events, is stored in one data lakehouse called Grail, without upfront indexing or schema design. A technology called Smartscape maps the dependencies between applications, infrastructure, networks, services and users into a near real-time dependency graph, so the platform can show why something is happening and what it affects. Dynatrace Intelligence, an agentic operations system that combines deterministic AI with agentic AI, sits at the core. OneAgent is installed once on a host and then collects data and metrics across the chain of applications running there. PurePath captures timing and code-level context for distributed traces end to end. Bindplane and OpenPipeline bring in and process telemetry data from other sources, such as OpenTelemetry.

What customers use it for

Its solutions cover observability for generative AI applications, large language models and AI agents; log management and analytics; cloud, infrastructure and application observability; and digital experience monitoring with real-user and synthetic monitoring and session replays. Application Security detects runtime vulnerabilities in applications, libraries and code and can block attacks that exploit them. Other solutions automate software delivery workflows, serve developers, and link the performance of digital services to business indicators.

How it is sold and deployed

Most customers run Dynatrace as software-as-a-service, and it can also be deployed on infrastructure the customer provisions. Under its Dynatrace Platform Subscription model, a customer commits to a minimum annual spend and draws it down by actual usage against a rate card, using any capability in any quantity. The global direct sales team targets the largest 15,000 companies globally, alongside partners including global system integrators such as Accenture, Atos, Deloitte, DXC and Kyndryl, the major cloud providers, resellers and technology partners such as Atlassian, Red Hat, ServiceNow and VMware. Resellers also cover countries where Dynatrace has no direct presence.

Customers and people

Read moreFree cash flow is operating cash flow less capital expenditure; the effective tax rate is income tax over pre-tax income; margins are the line over revenue. Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue, and operating income is revenue less the company's own total costs, where the statement does not print those lines. Those four are arithmetic on the filed numbers; everything else is as filed. Money is in $ million as the company files it, or in $ billion by the switch above the tables; per share figures and share counts are as they are.
