AppDynamics
Fresh82% completeAppDynamics (now Splunk AppDynamics) is a full-stack APM and observability platform used by platform engineers and SREs to trace distributed transactions end-to-end, correlate code-level latency with infrastructure metrics, and tie application health to business KPIs like conversion rate and revenue. It covers APM, infrastructure monitoring, real user monitoring, synthetic testing, runtime application security, and database monitoring across hybrid and on-premises environments. Acquired by Cisco in 2017 and operated under Splunk since 2024, it targets large enterprises running complex hybrid workloads where business-impact context is required alongside technical telemetry.
Products
- APM (Application Performance Monitoring)activeDistributed tracing and transaction profiling with automatic dependency mapping and code-level diagnostics via instrumentation agents
Traces distributed transactions across microservices and monoliths with code-level visibility down to method calls, SQL queries, and third-party API calls.
- Infrastructure MonitoringactiveAgent-based infrastructure telemetry collection with application topology correlation and service dependency mapping
Correlates server, container, and cloud infrastructure metrics with application performance in a unified topology view.
- Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM)activeJavaScript-injected RUM plus scripted synthetic browser checks at configurable geographic test locations
Monitors web and mobile real-user sessions alongside synthetic browser tests to track end-user performance across devices and geographies.
- Secure ApplicationactiveRASP agent instrumentation with runtime vulnerability detection, attack blocking, and business-impact scoring of security events
Runtime application self-protection (RASP) that detects and blocks vulnerabilities and attacks in production at the application layer.
- Business Performance AnalyticsactiveBusiness KPI correlation engine layered over APM transaction data with custom metric dashboards and revenue-impact scoring
Correlates transaction performance and user behavior metrics with business outcomes like revenue, conversion, and cart abandonment.
- SAP MonitoringactiveSAP-specific agent integration with preconfigured business process dashboards correlating SAP and non-SAP system performance
Preconfigured monitoring for SAP landscapes covering ABAP, Java stacks, and end-to-end business process flows like Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay.
- Database MonitoringactiveAgentless database monitoring with query execution plan capture and wait-state analysis across major RDBMS platforms
Provides query-level database performance visibility with wait-time analysis and slow query identification.
- AI/LLM MonitoringactiveLLM API call instrumentation capturing latency, token consumption, cost attribution, and response quality signals
Tracks generative AI application performance, token cost, and compliance metrics for LLM-backed services.
