Dynatrace Inc. has released a new global report, "The Pulse of Agentic AI 2026," analyzing trends in the adoption and scaling of agentic AI within large enterprises. Based on a survey of 919 senior leaders across multiple regions, the report finds that nearly half of enterprises expect to increase their AI budgets by at least $2 million, with the majority of deployments currently focused on IT operations, DevOps, software engineering, and customer support. Key priorities driving AI adoption include improving decision-making with real-time insights, enhancing system performance and reliability, and increasing internal efficiency to reduce operational costs. The greatest expected ROI from agentic AI projects is in IT operations and system monitoring, followed by cybersecurity and data processing. The report highlights that while enterprises are ramping up investment, scaling remains cautious as organizations work to ensure reliability and governance of autonomous AI systems. Observability and operational trust are identified as critical enablers for broader adoption and safe scaling of agentic AI.
