• Performance analytics: Query user performance across pages, geography, devices, browsers, and more, to focus in on specific performance issues or opportunities for improvement.
• Page composition: Understand the impact of Ajax and iframes on overall page performance.
• Business transaction correlation: Get end-to-end visibility for every individual transaction from the browser to the backend database, and anything in between.
• Dynamic performance baselining: Leverage the platform’s smart self-learning algorithms to learn from app’s behavior and baseline web performance rather than relying on guesswork.
• Percentile-based and static health rules and alerts: Flexibly set health rules and alerts that raise alerts only for statistically significant outliers.
• API access: For developers to access data or enrich it with third-party data.

Overview -Application-centric server monitoring that proactively detects performance issues and resolves them quickly.

• Correlate application and infrastructure performance:  Correlate infrastructure performance to application performance with detailed snapshots
• Scalability analysis: Analyze Infrastructure needs with pre-built correlation between CPU utilization/response time and application load.
• Proactive alerting: Instantly notify Ops teams when transaction performance breaches the baseline on any of the collected infrastructure metrics avoiding unnecessary alert storming
• Intuitive UI: AppDynamics presents relevant information in intuitive UI for users to isolate application performance bottlenecks and dependencies on infrastructure issues without being infrastructure experts
• Continuous monitoring in a high-volume environment: Gain complete visibility into performance of infrastructure hosting high-volume production applications 24/7 — with less than 1% overhead.
