Splunk AppDynamics is a powerful observability solution for hybrid and three-tier applications that delivers
comprehensive visibility into every layer of your application ecosystem. By continuously monitoring key performance
metrics, it helps teams quickly detect anomalies, pinpoint root causes, and — crucially — correlate issues to business
outcomes, so you can prioritize issues based on their impact on revenue, SLAs, and customer satisfaction. This
holistic approach promotes effective collaboration among IT, DevOps, and business units, and enables you to
improve operational efficiency and user experience across even the most complex architectures.
AppDynamics shows how performance bottlenecks affect key metrics like conversions and SLA compliance by
mapping every request to a business transaction. Built-in intelligence and analytics allow teams to optimize
resources proactively, reduce mean time to respond (MTTR), and maintain consistent service delivery. With Secure
Application, Splunk AppDynamics provides real-time security vulnerability and attack detection in the runtime
environment, providing immediate alerts and detailed remediation steps. The result is a more resilient,
high-performing environment that supports innovation and maximizes value for hybrid and three-tier scenarios.
Core Capabilities
