Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of the Business	Description of the Business Business Dynatrace, Inc. (“Dynatrace”, or the “Company”) offers a software intelligence platform, purpose-built for the enterprise cloud. As enterprises embrace the cloud as the means for digital transformation, the Company’s all-in-one intelligence platform addresses the growing complexity that technology and digital business teams face. The Company’s platform does so by utilizing artificial intelligence and advanced automation to provide answers, not just data, about the performance of applications, the underlying hybrid cloud infrastructure, and the experience of its customers’ users. The Company designed its software intelligence platform to allow its customers to modernize and automate IT operations, develop and release higher quality software faster, and deliver superior user experiences. Thoma Bravo (“TB”), a private equity investment firm, completed its acquisition of Compuware Corporation on December 15, 2014. Following the acquisition, Compuware Corporation was restructured following which Compuware Parent, LLC became the owner of Dynatrace Holding Corporation (“DHC”), under which the Compuware and Dynatrace businesses were separated, establishing Dynatrace as a standalone business. Following the corporate reorganization described below, Dynatrace became wholly owned by Dynatrace, Inc. (formerly Dynatrace Holdings LLC). Fiscal year The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. References to fiscal 2020 , for example, refer to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 .

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies Basis of presentation and consolidation Prior to July 30, 2019, Dynatrace Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, was an indirect equity holder of DHC that indirectly and wholly owned Dynatrace, LLC. On July 31, 2019, Dynatrace Holdings LLC (i) converted into a Delaware corporation with the name Dynatrace, Inc. and (ii) through a series of corporate reorganization steps, became the parent company of DHC. Additionally, as part of the reorganization, two wholly owned subsidiaries of DHC, Compuware Corporation (“Compuware”) and SIGOS LLC (“SIGOS”), were spun out from the corporate structure to the DHC shareholders. As a result of these transactions, DHC is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Dynatrace, Inc. These reorganization steps are collectively referred to as the “reorganization.” In connection with the reorganization, the equity holders of Compuware Parent, LLC received 222,021,708 units of Dynatrace Holdings LLC in exchange for their equity interests in Compuware Parent, LLC based on the fair value of a unit of Dynatrace Holdings LLC on July 30, 2019, which was determined to be $16.00 per unit by a committee of the board of managers of Dynatrace Holdings LLC, and all of the outstanding units of Dynatrace Holdings LLC then converted into shares of Dynatrace, Inc. Additionally, 19,525,510 units of Dynatrace Holdings LLC were issued upon exchange of Dynatrace, LLC Management Incentive Units (“MIUs”) and Appreciation Units (“AUs”) for a total of 241,547,218 outstanding units in Dynatrace Holdings LLC immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”). The reorganization was completed between entities that have been under common control since December 15, 2014. Therefore, these financial statements retroactively reflect DHC and Dynatrace, Inc. on a consolidated basis for the periods presented. The spin-offs of Compuware Corporation and SIGOS LLC from DHC have been accounted for retroactively as a change in reporting entity and accordingly, these financial statements exclude their accounts and results. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying financial statements. As described in Note 14 , prior to the reorganization the condensed consolidated financial statements reflected the debt and debt service associated with subordinated demand promissory notes payable to a related party. The financial statements also reflect certain expenses incurred by the Company for certain functions including shared services for the periods prior to the reorganization, which are immaterial to these financial statements. These expenses were allocated to Dynatrace on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, and for resources indirectly used by Dynatrace. Allocations were based on a proportional cost allocation methodology to reflect estimated usage by Dynatrace. Management considers the allocation methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, the financial information presented in these financial statements may not reflect the consolidated financial position, operating results and cash flows of Dynatrace had the Dynatrace business been a separate stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if Dynatrace had been a stand-alone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas. Initial Public Offering On August 1, 2019 , the Company completed its initial public offering, in which it sold and issued 38.9 million shares of common stock, inclusive of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares that was exercised in full, at an issue price of $16.00 per share. The Company received a total of $622.0 million in gross proceeds from the offering, or approximately $585.3 million in net proceeds after deducting approximately $36.7 million for underwriting discounts, commissions and offering-related expenses. The IPO also included the sale of 2.1 million shares of common stock, by selling stockholders, inclusive of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares that was exercised in full. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling stockholders. Prior to the closing of the IPO, the 241,547,218 outstanding units of Dynatrace Holdings, LLC were converted on a one -for-one basis into shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the certificate of incorporation. Unaudited interim consolidated financial information The accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, statements of shareholders’ equity / member’s deficit for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , statements of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , and the related disclosures, are unaudited. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2019 , its results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , and its cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period. The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in a manner consistent with the accounting principles included in the Company’s prospectus dated July 31, 2019 (“Prospectus”) and as filed with the SEC on August 1, 2019 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 included in the Prospectus. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Prospectus that have had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, except for the share-based compensation accounting policy noted below. Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts The Company continuously assesses the collectability of outstanding customer invoices and in doing so, assesses the need to maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the non-collection of customer receivables. In estimating this allowance, the Company considers factors such as: historical collection experience, a customer’s current creditworthiness, customer concentrations, age of outstanding balances, both individually and in the aggregate, and existing economic conditions. Actual customer collections could differ from the Company’s estimates. Allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $2.3 million and $3.4 million , and is classified as “Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 , respectively. Share-based compensation Prior to the IPO, the fair value of the equity units associated with Dynatrace Holdings, LLC underlying the Management Incentive Units and Appreciation Units was determined by the board of managers as there was no public market for the equity units. The board of managers determined the fair value of the Company’s equity units by considering a number of objective and subjective factors including: the valuation of comparable companies, the Company’s operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of common stock, and general and industry specific economic outlook, amongst other factors. After the IPO, the Company uses the publicly quoted price as reported on the New York Stock Exchange as the fair value of its common stock. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the award. The Company calculates the fair value of options and shares using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the related expense is recognized using the straight-line attribution approach. The vesting period is the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Share-based compensation expense is recorded net of actual forfeitures in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition and establishes a new revenue standard. This new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of control of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The FASB has also issued several amendments to the new standard which were designed to clarify and simplify the adoption process. In preparation for adoption of the new standard, the Company updated its accounting policies, systems, internal controls and processes. The Company adopted Topic 606 as of April 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method, which required adjustments to the historical financial information for fiscal years 2017 and 2018 to be consistent with the new standard. The Company recorded a net decrease to member’s accumulated deficit of $25.9 million as of April 1, 2016 as a result of the transition. The most significant impacts of the standard relate to the timing of revenue recognition for arrangements involving licenses and sales commissions. Under the new revenue standard, term licenses of the Company’s Classic products and the associated maintenance are considered separate performance obligations. This results in revenue associated with these term licenses being recognized upon delivery of the license rather than over the contractual term. Perpetual licenses and term license related to Dynatrace Software and the associated maintenance which includes when-and-if-available updates have been determined to be combined performance obligations and are recognized ratably over the longer of the term or useful life of the license. Additionally, some deferred revenue, primarily from arrangements involving term licenses, was never recognized as revenue and instead is now a part of the cumulative effect adjustment within accumulated deficit. Finally, the Company is required to capitalize and amortize incremental costs of obtaining a contract, such as certain sales commission costs, over the remaining contractual term or over an expected period of benefit, which the Company has determined to be approximately three years . The Company applied the following practical expedients permitted under Topic 606: for all reporting periods presented before the date of initial adoption, the Company has elected not to disclose the amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations or provide an explanation of when the Company expects to recognize that amount as revenue. Additionally, the Company has also elected not to separately evaluate each contract modification that occurred before the initial adoption date. The Company has elected not to assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if it expects at contract inception that the period between payment and the transfer of products or services will be one year or less. Recently issued accounting pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments supersede current lease requirements in Topic 840 which require lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. This new guidance is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those periods, except for emerging growth companies who may elect to adopt the standard for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements that allows entities to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company plans to elect this new transition guidance upon adoption of the standard on April 1, 2020. The Company will use the package of practical expedients which allows Dynatrace to not (1) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are considered or contain leases; (2) reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) reassess the initial direct costs for any existing leases. Adoption of the standard is expected to result in the recognition of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. The Company is currently evaluating the effects the standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss model and requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effects the standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract; Disclosures for Implementation Costs Incurred for Internal-Use Software and Cloud Computing Arrangements, which aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software under ASC 350-40, in order to determine which costs to capitalize and recognize as an asset. ASU 2018-15 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020, and can be applied either prospectively to implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively to all arrangements. The Company is currently evaluating the effects the standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company elected to early adopt ASC Topic 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, effective April 1, 2018, using the full retrospective transition method. The Company derives revenue from sales of software licenses, subscriptions, maintenance and support, and professional services together in contracts with its customers, which include end-customers and channel partners. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. Certain of the Company’s software license agreements provide customers with a right to use software perpetually or for a defined term. As required under applicable accounting principles, the goods and services that the Company promises to transfer to a customer are accounted for separately if they are distinct from one another. Promised items that are not distinct are bundled with other promised items until the bundle is distinct from other promised items in the contract. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations based on the relative estimated standalone selling prices of those performance obligations. Contract modifications are assessed to determine (i) if the additional goods and services are distinct from the goods and services in the original arrangement; and (ii) if the amount of the consideration expected for the added goods and services reflects the stand-alone selling price of those goods and services, as adjusted for contract-specific circumstances. A contract modification meeting both criteria is accounted for as a separate contract. A contract modification not meeting both criteria is considered a change to the original contract, which the Company accounts for on a prospective basis as a termination for contract specific circumstances. The Company’s additional goods and services offered have historically been distinct. If such additional goods and services reflect their stand-alone selling price, the Company accounts for the modification as a separate contract. If such additional goods and services do not reflect their stand-alone selling price, the Company accounts for the modification prospectively as a termination of the existing contract and the creation of a new contract. Disaggregation of revenue The following table is a summary of the Company’s total revenues by geographic region (in thousands, except percentages): Three Months Ended September 30, Six Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Amount % Amount % Amount % Amount % North America $ 77,245 59 % $ 59,340 57 % $ 148,442 59 % $ 115,208 57 % Europe, Middle East and Africa 34,317 27 % 29,115 29 % 67,818 27 % 57,379 29 % Asia Pacific 13,747 11 % 10,769 11 % 28,182 11 % 22,085 11 % Latin America 4,069 3 % 2,663 3 % 7,486 3 % 5,436 3 % Total revenue $ 129,378 $ 101,887 $ 251,928 $ 200,108 For the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , the United States was the only country that represented more than 10% of the Company’s revenues in any period, constituting $73.0 million and 56% , and $56.0 million and 55% of total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and $140.4 million and 56% , and $108.7 million and 54% of total revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. Deferred revenue Revenues recognized from amounts included in deferred revenue as of March 31, 2019 were $115.9 million and $217.0 million during the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively. Revenues recognized from amounts included in deferred revenue as of March 31, 2018 were $78.4 million and $152.7 million during the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively. Remaining performance obligations As of September 30, 2019 , the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $653.3 million , which consists of both billed consideration in the amount of $369.5 million and unbilled consideration in the amount of $283.8 million that the Company expects to recognize as subscription revenue. The Company expects to recognize 58% of this amount as revenue over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company computes its interim provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to loss from operations and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items occurring in the period. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was negative 147% compared to 10% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 . The effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 because of the $255.8 million incurred upon the reorganization transactions described in Note 2. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2019 was negative 111% compared to 11% for the six months ended September 30, 2018 . The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2019 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily because of the reorganization and non-deductible share-based compensation. Based on the Company’s review of both positive and negative evidence regarding the realizability of deferred tax assets at September 30, 2019 , a valuation allowance continues to be recorded against certain deferred tax assets based upon the conclusion that it was more likely than not they would not be realized. The valuation allowance at September 30, 2019 relates primarily to foreign tax credits and net operating losses. The reorganization triggered a short tax period in the U.S. which gave rise to the acceleration of deferred revenue for tax purposes and a corresponding reduction in the net deferred tax liability during the period of acceleration. Other matters The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act changed many aspects of U.S. corporation income taxation and include reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, implementation of a territorial tax system and imposition of a tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries (“Transition Tax”). The Company recognized the tax effects of the Tax Act in the fiscal year ended 2018 and recorded $50.0 million in tax benefit which relates almost entirely to the remeasurement of deferred tax liabilities to the 21% tax rate. The effects of ongoing provisions of the Tax Act, including global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) and base-erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT), are accounted for in the income tax provision.

Borrowings under the First Lien Term Loan currently bear interest, at the Company’s election, at either (i) the Alternative Base Rate, as defined per the credit agreement, plus 1.75% per annum, or (ii) LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum, if the net leverage ratio remains below 4.35 to 1.00 and are subject to an increase if the net leverage ratio is higher than 4.35 to 1.00. Interest payments are due quarterly, or more frequently, based on the terms of the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2019 , the Company has satisfied all required principal payments under the First Lien Term Loan and the remainder is due at maturity. The First Lien Term Loan requires prepayments in the case of certain events including: property or asset sale in excess of $5.0 million , proceeds in excess of $5.0 million from an insurance settlement, or proceeds from a new debt agreement. An additional prepayment may be required under the First Lien Term Loan related to excess cash flow for the respective measurement periods. All of the indebtedness under the First Lien Term Loan is and will be guaranteed by the Company’s existing and future material domestic subsidiaries and is and will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and such guarantors. The First Lien Term Loan contains customary negative covenants. At September 30, 2019 , the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants. On August 23, 2018, the Company entered into the Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Term Loan”) in which the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $170.0 million .

The First Lien Term Loan and Second Lien Term Loan are collectively referred to as the “Term Loans”. Debt issuance costs and original issuance discount of $15.5 million were incurred in connection with the Term Loans. These debt issuance costs and original issuance discount will be amortized into interest expense over the contractual term of the Term Loans. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 , the Company recognized approximately $0.4 million and $0.9 million of amortization of debt issuance costs and original issuance discount which is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 , the Company recognized $0.2 million of amortization of debt issuance costs and original issuance discount which is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

At September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 , the Company had $10.7 million and $14.3 million , respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issuance discount which is recorded as a reduction of the debt balance on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revolving Facility The First Lien Credit Agreement further provided for a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate amount of $60.0 million , which matures on August 23, 2023 . Borrowings under the Revolving Facility currently bear interest, at the Company’s election, at either (i) the Alternative Base Rate, as defined per the credit agreement, plus 1.50% per annum, or (ii) LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum, if the net leverage ratio remains below 3.85 to 1.00 and are subject to an increase if the net leverage ratio is higher than 3.85 to 1.00. The Revolving Facility includes a $15.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The Company incurs fees with respect to the Revolving Facility, including (i) a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum of unused commitments under the Revolving Facility, subject to an adjustment based on the First Lien Term Loan net leverage ratio, (ii) facility fees equal to the applicable margin in effect for Eurodollar Rate Loans, as defined per the credit agreement, times the average daily stated amount of letters of credit, (iii) a fronting fee equal to either (a) 0.125% per annum on the stated amount of each letter of credit or (b) such other rate per annum as agreed to by the parties subject to the letters of credit, and (iv) customary administrative fees. All of the indebtedness under the Revolving Facility is and will be guaranteed by the Company’s existing and future material domestic subsidiaries and is and will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and such guarantors. Debt issuance costs of $0.8 million were incurred in connection with the entry into the Revolving Facility. These debt issuance costs are amortized into interest expense over the contractual term of the loan. The Company recognized an immaterial amount of amortization of debt issuance costs for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $0.1 million of amortization of debt issuance costs for the six months ended September 30, 2019 which is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

There were $0.6 million and $0.7 million of unamortized debt issuance costs included as a reduction of the debt balance on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 , respectively. The Revolving Facility contains customary negative covenants and does not include any financial maintenance covenants other than a springing minimum net leverage ratio not exceeding 7.50 to 1.00 on the last day of any fiscal quarter, which will be tested only upon the occurrence of an event of default or certain other conditions as specified in the agreement. At September 30, 2019 , the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants pertaining to the Revolving Facility.

Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Tax liability In connection with the initial public offering completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company undertook a series of transactions to spin out two wholly owned businesses from the corporate structure. These transactions generated a taxable gain upon their occurrence which will be reported on tax returns for the year ended March 31, 2020. On July 31, 2019, Compuware Corporation distributed $265 million to the Company to partially or wholly fund the tax liability pursuant to an agreement with the Company which is recorded as a contribution within “Additional paid-in capital” on the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity / member’s deficit.

Shareholder's Equity	Shareholders’ Equity The Company is authorized to issue 600,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share. Dynatrace Holdings LLC was reorganized on April 1, 2015 and had 100 common units as of March 31, 2019 . In connection with the reorganization transactions described in Note 2, an additional 241,547,118 common units of Dynatrace Holdings LLC were issued and subsequently exchanged for 241,547,218 shares of common stock in Dynatrace, Inc. during the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-based Compensation	Share-based Compensation Management Incentive Unit program Under the Management Incentive Unit program, or the MIU Plan, Compuware Parent LLC’s board of managers had authorized the issuance of MIUs and AUs to certain executive officers and key employees. The MIUs and AUs consisted of two types of units which were classified as performance-vested units and time-vested units. In connection with the reorganization transactions described in Note 2, outstanding awards granted under the MIU Plan were converted into shares of common stock, restricted stock, and restricted stock units which were granted under the 2019 Plan as defined below. Upon conversion, the MIUs and AUs were modified and ceased to be classified as liability awards. This modification impacted 306 participants and resulted in the recognition of incremental stock compensation expense of $145.3 million to record the liability awards at fair value immediately prior to the modification during the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 . Upon modification, the liability balance of $278.2 million related to these MIUs and AUs was reclassified into additional paid-in capital. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan In July 2019, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), upon the recommendation of the compensation committee of the board of directors, adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2019 Plan, which was subsequently approved by the Company’s shareholders. The 2019 Plan became effective on July 30, 2019 and serves as the successor to the Company’s MIU Plan. The Company initially reserved 52,000,000 shares of common stock, or the Initial Limit, for the issuance of awards under the 2019 Plan. The 2019 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the plan will automatically increase each April 1, beginning on April 1, 2020, by 4% of the outstanding number of shares of the Company’s common stock on the immediately preceding March 31 or such lesser number determined by the compensation committee. This number is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in the Company’s capitalization. Stock options The following table summarizes activity for stock options during the period ended September 30, 2019 : Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) (per share) (years) (in thousands) Balance, March 31, 2019 — $ — Granted 7,141 16.04 Exercised — — Forfeited (11 ) 16.87 Balance, September 30, 2019 7,130 $ 16.04 9.8 $ 18,902 Options vested and expected to vest at September 30, 2019 7,130 $ 16.04 9.8 $ 18,902 Options vested and exercisable at September 30, 2019 — $ — 0.0 $ — As of September 30, 2019 , the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options granted is $43.4 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.9 years. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 , the Company recognized $1.8 million of share-based compensation expense related to stock options. The fair value for the Company’s stock options granted during the period ended September 30, 2019 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions: September 30, 2019 Expected dividend yield — Expected volatility 37.7 % Expected term (years) 6.1 Risk-free interest rate 1.9 % The Company has not paid and does not expect to pay dividends. Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero. The computation of expected volatility is based on a calculation using the historical volatility of a group of publicly traded peer companies. The Company expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding the volatility of the Company’s traded stock price. The computation of expected term was based on the average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding, generally calculated as the midpoint of the stock options’ remaining vesting term and contractual expiration period, as the Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected life of the award. Restricted shares and units During the first six months of fiscal 2020 , the Company granted an aggregate of 6,449,483 restricted shares to certain key employees and non-employee directors. The total grants consisted of: (i) 3,379,170 time-based restricted shares that vest 25% after the grant date (or one year after the vesting start date, if different) and the remaining 75% vest ratably over a 36 -month period; (ii) 696,873 performance-based restricted shares; (iii) 2,323,440 time-based restricted shares that vest 25% one year after the grant date and the remaining 75% vest ratably on a quarterly basis over 3 years, and (iv) 50,000 time-based restricted shares that vest on August 15, 2020 or upon Board approval at the annual shareholder meeting, if earlier. The performance criteria for the performance-based shares include four performance targets which vest 25% after each fiscal year end, upon the Board’s confirmation that the performance target was met for such fiscal year. These shares have a requisite service period that varies based on the grant date, but the service period begins on the grant date and ends on achievement of the final fiscal year performance target. The performance criterion for vesting of performance shares has been based on an adjusted EBITDA metric compared to the target established and approved by the Company’s board of directors for each fiscal year. Shares that are vested based upon performance for any given year for which the target was not met shall not vest; provided, that if the target is not met for a given year, but the target for the subsequent year is met, the unvested performance-based shares for the previous year shall become vested when the target for the subsequent year was met. The restricted shares are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the vesting date. The Company expenses the cost of the restricted shares, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares of common stock underlying the restricted shares on the date of grant, ratably over the period during which the vesting restrictions lapse. The following table provides a summary of the changes in the number of restricted shares for the period ended September 30, 2019 : Number of Shares of Restricted Stock Awards Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Number of Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value (in thousands) (per share) (in thousands) (per share) Balance, March 31, 2019 — $ — — $ — Granted 2,855 16.00 3,595 16.06 Vested (186 ) 16.00 (89 ) 16.00 Forfeited (17 ) 16.00 (5 ) 16.92 Balance, September 30, 2019 2,652 $ 16.00 3,501 $ 16.06 As of September 30, 2019 , the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock is $35.1 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years. As of September 30, 2019 , the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock units is $51.4 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.2 years. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 , the Company recognized $7.7 million of share-based compensation expense related to restricted shares and units. Employee Stock Purchase Plan In July 2019, the board of directors adopted, and the Company’s shareholders approved, the 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan for the issuance of up to a total of 6,250,000 shares of common stock, subject to an increase.

Net Loss Per Share	Net Loss Per Share On August 1, 2019 , the Company completed its IPO in which the Company issued and sold 38.9 million shares of common stock at a price to the public of $16.00 per share. These shares are included in the common stock outstanding as of that date. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , basic and diluted net loss per share have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the conversion of equity in connection with the reorganization transactions described in Note 2. Basic and diluted net loss per share was derived from a unit conversion factor of $16.00 per share as determined by the board of managers of Dynatrace Holdings LLC on July 30, 2019. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share data): Three Months Ended September 30, Six Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Numerator: Net loss $ (417,334 ) $ (39,938 ) $ (466,489 ) $ (63,494 ) Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding, basic and diluted 264,127 235,215 251,412 235,217 Net loss per share, basic and diluted $ (1.58 ) $ (0.17 ) $ (1.86 ) $ (0.27 ) The effect of certain common share equivalents were excluded from the computation of weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 as inclusion would have resulted in anti-dilution. A summary of these anti-dilutive common share equivalents is provided in the table below (in thousands): September 30, 2019 2018 Stock options 7,130 — Unvested restricted stock and RSUs 6,153 — Unvested equity awards — 6,626

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Fiscal year	The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. References to fiscal 2020 , for example, refer to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 .
Consolidation	Prior to July 30, 2019, Dynatrace Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, was an indirect equity holder of DHC that indirectly and wholly owned Dynatrace, LLC. On July 31, 2019, Dynatrace Holdings LLC (i) converted into a Delaware corporation with the name Dynatrace, Inc. and (ii) through a series of corporate reorganization steps, became the parent company of DHC. Additionally, as part of the reorganization, two wholly owned subsidiaries of DHC, Compuware Corporation (“Compuware”) and SIGOS LLC (“SIGOS”), were spun out from the corporate structure to the DHC shareholders. As a result of these transactions, DHC is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Dynatrace, Inc. These reorganization steps are collectively referred to as the “reorganization.” In connection with the reorganization, the equity holders of Compuware Parent, LLC received 222,021,708 units of Dynatrace Holdings LLC in exchange for their equity interests in Compuware Parent, LLC based on the fair value of a unit of Dynatrace Holdings LLC on July 30, 2019, which was determined to be $16.00 per unit by a committee of the board of managers of Dynatrace Holdings LLC, and all of the outstanding units of Dynatrace Holdings LLC then converted into shares of Dynatrace, Inc. Additionally, 19,525,510 units of Dynatrace Holdings LLC were issued upon exchange of Dynatrace, LLC Management Incentive Units (“MIUs”) and Appreciation Units (“AUs”) for a total of 241,547,218 outstanding units in Dynatrace Holdings LLC immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”). The reorganization was completed between entities that have been under common control since December 15, 2014. Therefore, these financial statements retroactively reflect DHC and Dynatrace, Inc. on a consolidated basis for the periods presented. The spin-offs of Compuware Corporation and SIGOS LLC from DHC have been accounted for retroactively as a change in reporting entity and accordingly, these financial statements exclude their accounts and results. As described in Note 14 , prior to the reorganization the condensed consolidated financial statements reflected the debt and debt service associated with subordinated demand promissory notes payable to a related party. The financial statements also reflect certain expenses incurred by the Company for certain functions including shared services for the periods prior to the reorganization, which are immaterial to these financial statements. These expenses were allocated to Dynatrace on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, and for resources indirectly used by Dynatrace. Allocations were based on a proportional cost allocation methodology to reflect estimated usage by Dynatrace. Management considers the allocation methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, the financial information presented in these financial statements may not reflect the consolidated financial position, operating results and cash flows of Dynatrace had the Dynatrace business been a separate stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if Dynatrace had been a stand-alone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas.
Basis of presentation	The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying financial statements.
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts	Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts The Company continuously assesses the collectability of outstanding customer invoices and in doing so, assesses the need to maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the non-collection of customer receivables. In estimating this allowance, the Company considers factors such as: historical collection experience, a customer’s current creditworthiness, customer concentrations, age of outstanding balances, both individually and in the aggregate, and existing economic conditions. Actual customer collections could differ from the Company’s estimates. Allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $2.3 million and $3.4 million , and is classified as “Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 , respectively.
Share-based compensation	Share-based compensation Prior to the IPO, the fair value of the equity units associated with Dynatrace Holdings, LLC underlying the Management Incentive Units and Appreciation Units was determined by the board of managers as there was no public market for the equity units. The board of managers determined the fair value of the Company’s equity units by considering a number of objective and subjective factors including: the valuation of comparable companies, the Company’s operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of common stock, and general and industry specific economic outlook, amongst other factors. After the IPO, the Company uses the publicly quoted price as reported on the New York Stock Exchange as the fair value of its common stock. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the award. The Company calculates the fair value of options and shares using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the related expense is recognized using the straight-line attribution approach. The vesting period is the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Share-based compensation expense is recorded net of actual forfeitures in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Recently adopted and recently issued accounting pronouncements	Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition and establishes a new revenue standard. This new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of control of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The FASB has also issued several amendments to the new standard which were designed to clarify and simplify the adoption process. In preparation for adoption of the new standard, the Company updated its accounting policies, systems, internal controls and processes. The Company adopted Topic 606 as of April 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method, which required adjustments to the historical financial information for fiscal years 2017 and 2018 to be consistent with the new standard. The Company recorded a net decrease to member’s accumulated deficit of $25.9 million as of April 1, 2016 as a result of the transition. The most significant impacts of the standard relate to the timing of revenue recognition for arrangements involving licenses and sales commissions. Under the new revenue standard, term licenses of the Company’s Classic products and the associated maintenance are considered separate performance obligations. This results in revenue associated with these term licenses being recognized upon delivery of the license rather than over the contractual term. Perpetual licenses and term license related to Dynatrace Software and the associated maintenance which includes when-and-if-available updates have been determined to be combined performance obligations and are recognized ratably over the longer of the term or useful life of the license. Additionally, some deferred revenue, primarily from arrangements involving term licenses, was never recognized as revenue and instead is now a part of the cumulative effect adjustment within accumulated deficit. Finally, the Company is required to capitalize and amortize incremental costs of obtaining a contract, such as certain sales commission costs, over the remaining contractual term or over an expected period of benefit, which the Company has determined to be approximately three years . The Company applied the following practical expedients permitted under Topic 606: for all reporting periods presented before the date of initial adoption, the Company has elected not to disclose the amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations or provide an explanation of when the Company expects to recognize that amount as revenue. Additionally, the Company has also elected not to separately evaluate each contract modification that occurred before the initial adoption date. The Company has elected not to assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if it expects at contract inception that the period between payment and the transfer of products or services will be one year or less. Recently issued accounting pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments supersede current lease requirements in Topic 840 which require lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. This new guidance is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those periods, except for emerging growth companies who may elect to adopt the standard for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements that allows entities to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company plans to elect this new transition guidance upon adoption of the standard on April 1, 2020. The Company will use the package of practical expedients which allows Dynatrace to not (1) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are considered or contain leases; (2) reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) reassess the initial direct costs for any existing leases. Adoption of the standard is expected to result in the recognition of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. The Company is currently evaluating the effects the standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss model and requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effects the standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract; Disclosures for Implementation Costs Incurred for Internal-Use Software and Cloud Computing Arrangements, which aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software under ASC 350-40, in order to determine which costs to capitalize and recognize as an asset. ASU 2018-15 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020, and can be applied either prospectively to implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively to all arrangements. The Company is currently evaluating the effects the standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition	The Company elected to early adopt ASC Topic 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, effective April 1, 2018, using the full retrospective transition method. The Company derives revenue from sales of software licenses, subscriptions, maintenance and support, and professional services together in contracts with its customers, which include end-customers and channel partners. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. Certain of the Company’s software license agreements provide customers with a right to use software perpetually or for a defined term. As required under applicable accounting principles, the goods and services that the Company promises to transfer to a customer are accounted for separately if they are distinct from one another. Promised items that are not distinct are bundled with other promised items until the bundle is distinct from other promised items in the contract. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations based on the relative estimated standalone selling prices of those performance obligations. Contract modifications are assessed to determine (i) if the additional goods and services are distinct from the goods and services in the original arrangement; and (ii) if the amount of the consideration expected for the added goods and services reflects the stand-alone selling price of those goods and services, as adjusted for contract-specific circumstances. A contract modification meeting both criteria is accounted for as a separate contract. A contract modification not meeting both criteria is considered a change to the original contract, which the Company accounts for on a prospective basis as a termination for contract specific circumstances. The Company’s additional goods and services offered have historically been distinct. If such additional goods and services reflect their stand-alone selling price, the Company accounts for the modification as a separate contract. If such additional goods and services do not reflect their stand-alone selling price, the Company accounts for the modification prospectively as a termination of the existing contract and the creation of a new contract.
