AppDynamics helps manage multi-cloud environments efficiently and gives you unique insight into how technology decisions impact your key business outcomes," said David Wadhwani, CEO, AppDynamics. "As the largest and fastest growing company in the APM market, we're helping thousands of customers automate previously costly and repetitive tasks and providing the tools needed to start their journey to a true AIOps mindset."
To address the rising complexity in IT environments and the rapid changes in the technologies modern businesses are using, AppDynamics has delivered innovations built to empower Agents of Transformation, the IT leaders driving the technological and cultural change needed to drive digital-first organizations.
-- Significant increase in end-to-end monitoring coverage and scalability --
AppDynamics has the broadest application visibility in the industry --
capable of monitoring everything from the latest application frameworks
running in highly dynamic microservice environments to legacy services
running in mainframes. The company furthered its leadership in this area
with the announcements of a Serverless Agent for AWS Lambda, AppDynamics
for Kubernetes and AppDynamics for SAP, as well as support for OpenShift,
the Pivotal Cloud Foundry, .NET Core, SPA and more. This level of
visibility allows IT leaders to have unparalleled end-to-end, full-stack
visibility into modern, cloud-native and traditional technologies in
order to improve customer experience and accelerate business growth. Over
the course of 2018 AppDynamics took APM scalability to the next level by
enhancing its platform to support hundreds of thousands of agents in a
single monitoring environment.
-- Improvement in insights and automation through AIOps -- AppDynamics AIOps
vision, the Central Nervous System for IT, was unveiled to help IT teams
move confidently and quickly by giving them full visibility of complex
multi-cloud environments, deep insights and an integrated automation
framework. In support of this vision, AppDynamics announced Cognition
Engine, which uses machine learning to automate root-cause analysis and
anomaly detection, cutting remediation times down to seconds. The need
for automation and a full, end-to-end understanding of every application
will only become more critical as enterprises continue to their shift
toward more dynamic multi-cloud environments.
-- Faster identification and resolution of business performance issues --
AppDynamics Business iQ is quickly becoming a must-have for any digital
business with its ability to monitor business metrics in real time and
pinpoint how change in application and user experience impacts business
outcomes. AppDynamics Business iQ automatically baselines business
metrics, detects business anomalies against SLAs and provides real-time
diagnostic tools to help pinpoint application characteristics that affect
customer experience and overall business outcomes. AppDynamics sped up
time to value with the introduction of Business Journeys, out-of-the-box
dashboards and zero configuration metrics. IT leaders and CIOs can now
continuously monitor their key business metrics, like revenue, conversion
rates, number of accounts being opened, or any other metric that
correlates to their business' success.
New Integrations and Increased Investment from Cisco
AppDynamics has been thriving inside of Cisco with expanded investment, including increased R&D spend by more than 80 percent. Recently, AppDynamics and Cisco delivered the first ever integration between an Application Performance Monitoring platform and a Software Defined Network platform with AppDynamics for Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure. This creates a bridge between DevOps teams and infrastructure teams to help ensure fewer problems and faster resolution.
"The atomic unit of digital transformation is increasingly the application, which is why AppDynamics is integral to Cisco," said Anuj Kapur, chief strategy officer, Cisco. "Over the years, we've witnessed a broad cross-section of companies put the application front and center on their journey toward hybrid-IT and multi-cloud. Important to our strategy, AppDynamics provides strong coordination of the application and infrastructure layers, and enables IT teams to manage the growing levels of complexity and minimize risk as they transform their environments."
