Optimize Hybrid Application Performance
ITOps teams need business context deep into the technology stack across application, database, network, infrastructure, cloud, end-user experience, and security insights. By adopting a full-stack observability with business context approach for end-to-end visibility across domains, teams can more easily comprehend the interdependencies within the ecosystem, allowing them to account for changes or proactively troubleshoot issues. Multi-domain visibility provides insights into application dependencies and performance metrics. As a result, mean-time-to-identify (MTTI) and detect (MTTR) will drop, and the business can align siloed teams on shared priorities and focus on what matters most.
How can Splunk AppDynamics, Splunk Enterprise, and Splunk Cloud Platform help with optimizing hybrid application performance?
Provide business context deep within the stack
Splunk AppDynamics provides business context deep within the tech stack through the creation of business transactions, which represent an end-to-end, cross-tier processing path used to fulfill a request for a service provided by the application. This allows teams to view complicated interactions in the context of a login, or add-to-cart, or submit payment. They reflect the way users interact with applications and can help to align teams across domains to resolve problems and ensure that critical business operations are performing optimally. Business transactions are also baselined, and using health rules or anomaly detection, Splunk AppDynamics can alert when business transactions exceed normal response times or error rates which is more effective than monitoring discrete performance metrics.
Focus on what matters
Splunk AppDynamics also collects transaction analytics to baseline and alert on business performance anomalies using business KPIs like online revenue per minute or bookings per hour. This allows you to detect and remediate adverse business outcomes as early as possible. Business performance analytics dashboards are also a favorite feature that provides business health at-a-glance for executives, line-on-business owners, and IT Operations leaders.
Build resiliency into your SAP landscape
Splunk AppDynamics also provides critical application and business process performance insights to drive resilience for combined SAP and non-SAP landscapes. Java and SAP ABAP agents provide APM visibility and troubleshooting tools for the applications that power your business, while business performance dashboards for order-to-cash (OTC) and procure-to-pay (P2P) provide insights into the health of your mission critical business processes.
Ensure business performance with every release
Business performance analytic dashboards can evaluate the performance of new releases to the previous release when rolling out new functionality. Analyze both application performance metrics (like response time and error rates) as well as business performance metrics (like funnel conversion rate or revenue rate) to determine whether to roll-forward or roll-back new releases.
Correlate user experience with application performance
Experience Journey Maps provide deep business context into application performance and end-user experience. Machine learning is used to dynamically map out composite and individual user journeys, overlaid with application performance and business impact to help IT Operations spot problems and prioritize based on impact.
Get observability for AI applications
GenAI is quickly becoming an integral component of the overall digital experience. Splunk AppDynamics monitors the performance of AI features as part of APM, correlating app performance with database and infrastructure. Monitor to ensure compliance to your organizations policy guidelines and provide common troubleshooting for data science and application teams. Perform usage and cost analysis by application to avoid unexpected overages.
