Pipeline growth and deal cycles, net retention rates and on-demand consumption, sales productivity and go-to-market strategy, on-demand consumption revenue and guidance, autonomous SRE agents and observability demand are the key contradictions discussed in Dynatrace's latest 2025Q4 earnings call.
Revenue and Subscription Growth:
- Dynatrace reported subscription revenue of $424 million for Q4, up 20%, and for fiscal 2025, total revenue was $1.7 billion, growing 20%.

Observability Market Growth and Tailwinds:

- This growth is fueled by the need for AI-powered observability solutions, as organizations accelerate cloud and AI native initiatives.
DPS Adoption and Expansion:
- Over 40% of customers and more than 60% of ARR are now on the DPS licensing model.
- DPS customers consume more capabilities, leading to higher expansion rates compared to SKU-based customers.
Log Management Opportunity:
