Hi, the best way is sign for a free trial and watch basic videos on dynatare university.

Once you get idea about the product then you can start reading the online docs and watch videos on youtube for deep understanding.

There is huge scope across the globe if you are talking about job. It is leader holding 1st rank in Gartner Magic Quadrant. Once you start knowing the product, you will fall in love.

Hello @Rahul Y.

As you tagged Dynatrace Managed, therefore, you should start with the Product Education - Dynatrace and go through with all the topics/videos from the link shared by @Chad T.

Hi Rahul,

There are multiple methods you can use to help you through your Dynatrace journey. Choosing which one can depend on your own learning style.

If you are a visual learner then the Dynatrace university is a good start, the videos are short, specific and cover a large variety of topics.

If you prefer the verbal approach then you can start by reading through our documentation. These pages are detailed and kept up to date.

And my personal favorite, the physical approach of doing, which can be accomplished by starting our 15 day free trial and installing agents on your own machines. This will allow you to click around in Dynatrace, see what is available, and go from there. You can even download our demo application EasyTravel and host it as your own.

And don't forget to keep an eye out for our webinars to keep up to date!

Good Luck 🙂

Regards,

Billy

Thank you very much Billy for the reply. Any specific topic that i can cover as a fresher in this field?

[william_littlej · Accepted solution]

Glad to help 🙂

I would recommend the Dynatrace for Power Users videos to begin with. If you have access to a real environment to play around in while watching the videos, this would help too 🙂

Then there are the Hands on Labs where you can test your knowledge in lifelike scenarios. You can choose the ones which interest you the most.

Let me know how it goes, or if you would like some assistance.

Regards,

Billy
