Dynatrace
Dynatrace Deployment & Licensing
Choose the right Dynatrace model for your environment.
Choosing how to deploy and license Dynatrace is not simply a platform decision. SaaS or Managed, telemetry volumes, retention, security requirements, licensing models and expected growth all influence the architecture, operation and long-term cost of the platform.
CodeAttest helps organizations evaluate these factors together and select a deployment and consumption model that fits their technical requirements, operational model and plans for growth.
The decision goes beyond SaaS or Managed
Choosing between SaaS and Managed is only one part of the decision.
Security, data residency, connectivity and operational ownership can influence where and how Dynatrace is deployed. At the same time, telemetry volumes, retention requirements and expected growth affect platform capacity and consumption.
Licensing adds another dimension. What is monitored, which telemetry is collected, how long data is retained and how the platform is used can all influence consumption and cost.
These factors are interconnected. Considering them together helps avoid a deployment model that meets an immediate technical requirement but creates unnecessary cost, capacity constraints or operational complexity as the environment grows.
What we evaluate
Deployment and architecture
We compare Dynatrace SaaS and Managed against the organization's infrastructure, security, connectivity, data-handling and operational requirements.
Telemetry and capacity
We assess expected metrics, logs, traces and other telemetry together with retention and growth assumptions to understand their impact on platform capacity and consumption.
Licensing and consumption
We examine how the planned use of Dynatrace maps to the applicable licensing and consumption model and identify the factors most likely to influence usage and cost.

From requirements to a practical model
We start with the environment rather than a predefined deployment model.
Security constraints, infrastructure, operational ownership, expected telemetry, retention and growth plans establish the requirements against which the available options are evaluated.
Where sufficient data is available, current or expected telemetry volumes provide a baseline for estimating capacity and consumption. We use this together with the technical and operational requirements to compare viable deployment and licensing models.
The result is a recommended direction with its assumptions, trade-offs and risks made explicit. Where implementation, migration or expansion is required, the recommendation is translated into practical next steps.
What you get
Deployment recommendation
A recommended Dynatrace deployment model based on the technical, security and operational requirements identified during the assessment.
Consumption and capacity baseline
An assessment of the telemetry, retention and growth factors expected to influence platform capacity and consumption.
Assumptions and trade-offs
A documented view of the assumptions, constraints and risks behind the recommendation, including factors that may affect future cost or scalability.
Next-step plan
A practical direction for deployment, migration or expansion, including staged next steps where implementation is required.
When to consider this service
This service is particularly relevant when your organization is:
- planning a new Dynatrace deployment;
- evaluating SaaS versus Managed;
- moving from one deployment model to another;
- adopting or changing a Dynatrace licensing or consumption model;
- planning for significant telemetry growth;
- reviewing retention or capacity requirements;
- trying to understand or control Dynatrace consumption and cost;
- aligning the Dynatrace architecture with new security, governance or operational requirements.
