Hello,
I'm just curious if anyone knows or has experience that installing ActiveGate on Windows was more beneficial than installing on Linux, and what was the case? or why people might use Windows over Linux?
Any thoughts?

From what I've seen is, Dynatrace Support would rather see you leverage Linux, But organization permission scopes seem to be the point of contention where Dynatrace Admins will opt for Windows over Linux for unrestricted access. So ultimately if falls down on your organization. Each organization I worked for had Windows AGs because the Linux team wouldn't give us full access to the device.

Oh wow!! That's a priceless experience, Antonio! Thank you.!
Yeah, despite that I consider myself a Linux person, seems a lot of organizations are still running Windows servers. And of course WMI part might be very important.
Thank you for sharing your valuable experience with us.🤜🤛
